Grabber type tip for Siglent probe

Not even sure what the tips are called. They are similar to the ones found on logic probes. I am looking for something for the end of the probe that is smaller than that giant hook that comes with the probes.

I found thi, but it appears there is no way to do compensation adjustment. Is there an tip adapter that is available for the Siglent probes, similar to these things?

Those are for connecting a signal generator. I just hooked mine to the 1MHz test port on my Siglent and the wave shape is fine. You only need the adjustment for over 10MHz and 10X? And of course, they are only 1X. I never really paid much attention to the size of the probe grabbers, but they are ~4X the size of the others.

If you are using 1X, you don’t need compensation. The compensation is a capacitor on the voltage divider made between the resistor in the probe that makes it 10X and the input section of the scope. It is only needed if that resistor exists. It compensates for the stray capacitance of the 9 MΩ resistor in the probe.
