Like this example ... and please ask them to make it using standard banana plug spacing.

That would require all new tooling and maybe new PCB, and that's not cheap.
They would likely do it for a big enough MOQ, so might be talking a 6 figure order here.
I doubt they'll do on their own dime. The existing units are and selling, and selling well it seems. There is nothing in it for them to redo the design at this point.
If you are that keen, chop the leads off and fit your own plugs maybe?

As expected, still doesn't address my pet peeve about this. ::)
Its like these HV probe designers never worked in truly rough environment on probing HV, its like their limit of imagination when using this kind of probe is just for probing mains voltage at USB charger circuit only, cozily on bench table. :palm:

Technically this x10/x100 model is designed to do just that. It's not designed for high energy hgih voltage industrial applications.
BravoV:
Its my wish, that should someday, if .. you managed to sit down with manufacturer to role out a new HV diff. probe, you are aware of this idea, or at least send it MigSig team, "hopefully" they will consider this design for their next iteration if any.
Yeah, wishful thinking. ::)

If that is the case then it makes even more sense to leave the leads off. On my Pintek differential probes I use a BNC to banana adapter so I can connect a BNC cable or a standard 1:1 probe to the input every now and then to make a floating measurement. Much more convenient compared to using the thick leads.
