content: Apparently there is a problem with those probes?I guess this one's the 1st video review of many to follow(and of course I'll look for channels that we might include in the big list).Here's the 2nd (Robert Culver), although using it as a hammer could raise warranty concerns..*edit:More on auto-rangingfrom over in Adelaide (Robert Culver) Nice shop!

Perhaps a topic for a separate thread.I didn't know that both of you have YT channels. I guess I have to make videos, too.

content: Thanks bitseeker, Sorry the shoot-out was a bit dodgy, I had cabling giving a shadow and holding everything on camera was beyond my coordination.The 121's time was pretty close to the U1282A, it was also in company of meters that were at least 2-3x in price as well and still holds its own, in terms of DC accuracy as well. I was pleasantly surprised by the Gossen's time but I still find it a bit strange to use as a DMM.

content: Dave still has around 2,000 units to ship to Kickstarter backers, but considering the current issues and "fine tuning" of the 121GW, it might be a while before he can get that rolling - assuming the component supply issues have been resolved.Thenhe can consider putting it into his own EEVblog shop.Don't know when he would look at other distributors - but I don't think it will be any time soon.

Maybe this will happen the same time, when Dave is stocking them in his webshop.https://www.welectron.com/From the Kickstarter page:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eevblog/eevblog-121gw-multimeter/posts/2071785?cursor=19014885"For EU customers, that VAT invoice will come shortly. Welectron in Germany will be doing the re-shipping for us within the EU, and they will be stocking the meter in the EU after the campaign ends."Edit:I would suggest, to discuss this topic in this thread:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/eevblog-121gw-discussion-thread/

Turned it on, then took it apart, inspected, updated firmware from 1.19 to 1.22, replaced Duracrap batteries with Energizer rechargeables. Played with Bluetooth app, awesome !
