I am thinking of picking up one of the cheap hand held scope's out there, ~$80.00 or so.
Any experiences?
DSO211 etc ?

 

I’m also interested in this. I have my tiny ~$20 1MHz scope thingy and it’s actually more useful than I expected, but I keep looking at the cheap but more capable ones. Trouble is, the market is pretty confusing and I can’t work out what is worth buting.

 

Max this is what I have that does a pretty good job and cheap. Come in various forms from DIY to semi or fully constructed. Cheaper when bought direct from AliX. This is about the size of a pack of cigarettes and fits in the shirt pocket.

 

I have one of these. It's single channel with 200KHz bandwidth. If you get one, I recommend that you get the acrylic case too. It's quite handy for Quick checks and measurements.

I am looking at the Seeed Nano V3 which Digikey carry, a little more money than the ones shown so far, but reviews are fairly good.

I have been looking at this one, Max. It looks good, but... so hard to tell.

They are all basically the same scope but each being the latest iteration of it. Freq has increased and surprisingly the BNC probe connection changed to what looks like a barrel jack now? Hope the probe cable is shielded. It is available direct from china on AliX for only a few dollars cheaper. Not much discount on this latest iteration.

 

I read some good reports about Owon's products.

Just be sure you do get the most up to date version, some of the products listed on Amazon by some sellers are a little out of date.

Many of the ones I looked at had firmware update ability.

 

I am looking at the Seeed Nano V3

I'm sure they are all made in the same factory and labeled with whatever the middleman dealer wants on them for a brand name. They are USB charged and I'm sure that the port is also used for firmware upgrades.

 

I have a single channel scope from AES wave. It is a fantastic little handheld and comes with all kinds of goodies. You can buy a basic scope or a kit which allows you to do much more depending on what you want to do. Jorge and his team provide excellent support and the graphics and accuracy are unparalleled in a small scope. Amazon carries a 4 channel version but I havent had the opportunity to try it yet.

 

I have one of these: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/YEAPOOK-...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

It does take a while to learn what the buttons do, but ti is pretty good. They seem to be available under different manufacturers names.

Cheaper here (maybe): https://aliexpress.ru/item/33029830...rmsg=do_not_replacement&device=c&gclsrc=aw.ds

That looks like a version of the Seeed Nano V3 I am looking at on Digikey.

 

Hello,

in my work I has two channel 200Mhz bandwith osciloscope, but in my home I am using for three years "Bitscope micro" and I am very glad how it works. It has two analog channels scope (20 MHz) and six chanel logic analyzer. It has fine software and is connected to PC computer by USB cable. In Farnell it costss 56$ US - see link:

Hello,

if it is important for you it be one small device - than DANIU ADS5012H may be interesting for you. See link:

https://usa.banggood.com/DANIU-ADS5...-p-1469066.html?cur_warehouse=CN&rmmds=search

It has one channel 100 MHz analog bandwith. It costs 80$ US, but is worth his price.

Best Regards

 

I went ahead and sprang for the Seed Nano V3, just finding my way around it and the Chinese instructions.! °

Looks good. Do let us know how it performs.

 

Just looking at Seed Nano V3 vs SainSmart DSO212 going for the same price on Amazon.
