New MicSig/EEVblog DP10007 HV Differential Probe

<< < (17/38) > >>

TheBay:
I've been meaning to get a set of Differential Probes for ages, my use case for these is repairing equipment where a differential probe is needed due to voltage levels and mains references. Not for low voltage use (I have other equipment for that)

With that in mind I'd settled on getting a set of the EEVblog HVP70 different probes which just about fit in the voltage range I need for the moment and figured I'd get a higher voltage set later on. I couldn't find these for sale anywhere currently (Certainly no where in the UK)

I saw a few videos on the McSig DP10007's and DP10013's and Dave's video and figured I'd get one of these and was torn between the two models, also noticed that the DP10007/DP1013 are on sale with McSig branding or no branding. I did wonder if they were the same thing or clones. Has anyone else seen these, Amazon and eBay are flooded with them?

While I was looking I found a new set of Tektronix P5200A's for not much more than the McSig DP10007's so I bought them.

Now I'm in a quandary about what to do, I can find very little information on the Tek P5200A's on here and how they compare to the McSig's offering.

I was a bit put off with what I've read about the current batch of DP10007's and was going to hang on till the issue is sorted or hopefully Dave does a EEVblog rebrand of one with any issues addressed.

The P5200A's have arrived with me today and I looked at them and wondering what to do, shall I use them and enjoy them, or sell them and get something else. I had no idea what the RRP was on them till I started looking for reviews after I'd bought them, are they just overpriced or will they be any better than the offerings from McSig or similar. I must say the detachable leads appeal and the Fluke clips etc they came with look really nice.

Really interested to know what's in the pipeline for any EEVblog branded differential probes.

Just sold out the other day. New stock not due until early January.
Micsig have not gotten back to me on the issue, so I'm continuing to order and stock the trusted HVP70.

I get the impression MicSig are not the OEM from what I've seen. Not good they haven't got back to you about the issue, even something out of courtesy to say they are looking in to it would have been good considering the amount of exposure MicSig are getting on here.

That's good news you are continuing with the Sapphire based probes and I'll pick the HVP70 up when it comes back in stock.

What gives you that idea? My spidey sense hasn't indicated that.

I'll post on here once back in stock. I was surprised by the popularity of my last batch, sales were much higher than previously.
They are having component shortage issues and I had to commit to a higher than desired minimum order to get it happening. They had another dealer who would only pony up 20% of the MOQ required (under their own brand, not mine), so I had to agree to cover the other 80%. So it seems like I'm currenlty 80% of the world market for this probe  :o

The market is flooded with DP10013 and DP1007 differential probes, but with what appears to be no branding. And look identical to the MicSig differential probes. And that the DP10013 is available for £88 delivered inc tax, they were even cheaper the other day as there is often a discount voucher on the item as well.
These all mainly seem to be sold by sellers from the far east on Amazon and eBay with made random names and these don't really fit with the other items they are selling.

Whether these are clones of MicSig, possible but I doubt. Or are just made by another OEM and they will put a brand on the front.
It's the same story with the DP10007s. I haven't searched for the other models.

I was sorely tempted to order the cheapest of the DP10013's and see what branding they turn up with and if they are the same.

That's absolutely crazy, just goes to show how many the other companies are selling. And I can see why they have been so popular for quality and price they cannot be touched.
