NEW Fluke 87-VI Multimeter
Bloch:
as i google the Fluke 87-VI Multimeter I found a Fluke 87-V Max Multimeter
Is that also fake ? or is a bigger display ?
coromonadalix:
the Fluke 87-V Max is an official model, more directed at industrial applications

What comes first - the requirements or the mockup or the survey? :palm: Most of us here know how to do product development.
It seems to be a fictional mockup 87-VI but who knows.
Just a backwards approach but I'd expect no less from a mega-conglomerate that rarely does engineering.
I guess we're all in love with not only the brand name, but the model number too.
I say the real 87's are EOL due to the LTC custom multimeter IC's long gone and ADI killing off the Milpitas fab. Losing custom silicon advantage.
"Designed and built in USA" - Fortive we believe you care about America and not profit for Wall Street.
"$650" price? 87-V is USD $522, 87V-MAX $589, 289 $875. (not the kit price).
This is kind of a BOAT. With holster: 87V MAX is 8.5" tall, 87V is 7.9" tall... 87VI pic is around 8.5" and med 2" thick. Needs to go on a diet. 289 is 8.75" tall with 1/4 VGA LCD.

It does seem like Fortive can't quite tell what to do with product design and naming. It felt that the older Fluke products were built by people who actually knew what their users do day to day rather than sneaky startup-style fake product adverts.
It also looks like the new Fluke 283 ( the Solar DMM) doesn't have 80 series Specs but 70 series specs, like the Fluke 3000 and the Fluke 279. This seems like a clever trick for an upsell without delivering on the implied promise —sneaky. Or maybe the person doing the naming doesn't understand what an 8 in the name implies to users. Either way, it's not a great sign.
Looking at the Careers page on https://fortive.eightfold.ai/careers/, it seems that many of the Fluke jobs are now in Poland. So, they were probably not created by the same teams that created previous DMMs.

the 287 289 are outdated bulky and sloow, nothing so far from Fluke will replace them, why extending the 8 series
when i have tried the 87-v series Fluke become dead for me ...
