content: New eBay coupon just dropped: PSPRING20 (20% off $25+) and some sellers have not adjusted their prices yet.This seller has it for $142 shipped to the USA (though they only have 3 left):https://www.ebay.com/itm/Micsig-DP10013-Oscilloscope-1300V-100MHz-High-Voltage-Differential-Probe-Kit-NEW/182987599312After the coupon, it drops to $113.60, which is a pretty solid price for the kit.Read the discussion hereon this probe before purchasing due to it having some issues at the highest freq. but for the price I think it is hard to find even a 20MHz one at this price let alone higher.

content: ... as an aside, that coupon can only be used once.I used it on a Quick 861DW to get it for ~$250 shipped USD and then learned the hard way coming to look back at this probe and logic analyzer probes that I couldn't continue the fun easily.-j

content: The notification I received earlier today for this coupon stated that there was a $100 limit on eligible purchases. You're saying it works anyway?

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on March 09, 2018, 10:55:03 pmI linked to a discussion thread in the OP:Located HereGeneral consensus:build quality is very solid and cleanPerformance is less than 100MHz getting to around 85MHz, though more linear than the Pintek probes from DC to 85Mhz. Above that, the inductance/capacitance of the leads seems to mess things up.CMRR is decent and typical of this design and type of probe. Definitely not set the world on fire but seems to get near its specsPretty much as well as you can do at this price point.

content: I missed the code but 145 for decent diff probes is not bad at all. Anything similar is usually $$$Also well worth it for safety

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on March 11, 2018, 09:20:04 pmOh come on everyone knows to float the scope!Used to do a lot of 3 phase work on oil cooled motors and auto shifting without a clutch just by speed matching.. fun stuff. Pricey gear though for that or was.. im shocked how far these Chinese producers have come. It's nice seeing quality starting to come out of local China shops on par with NI/KS for a fraction of the price.Just picked up a trio of siglent to try out for fun, back ordered scope, 3 ch psu, and an arb. Really like they are hackable and it's just linux running inside them. Cant wait to tear into their firmware.
