Review of the new $70 Miniware DT71 LCR Tweezers, is it any good?<br />https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dT6koqT<br /><br />Forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1335-miniware-$70-dt71-lcr-tweezer-review/<br />00:00 - Introduction<br />04:24 - Tweezer design<br />06:28 - In use<br />08:58 - Downsides compared to the SmartTweezers<br />11:53 - Dodgy Readings!<br />13:14 - Automatic mode 2nd parameter measurement<br />14:48 - Scope Measurements<br />17:38 - LED measurements<br />18:53 - More measurements<br />20:00 - Calibration Mode<br />21:24 - Voltage Measurement<br />23:13 - Charging<br />25:43 - The problem with the charge lead<br />27:46 - Conclusion<br /><br />TLDR; It's not very accurate, doesn't have much resolution, limited ranges, accuracy issues between Auto and Manual modes, can't be used while charging, lose the custom charge lead and you are screwed, tilt head detection has a bit of an alignment issue, LED testing is limited, and the secondary measurements basically don't work.<br />But for $70 it's very handy and nothing else can touch it, and the probe design is gorgeous.<br />Absolutely no match for the much more expensive SmartTweezers.<br />Maybe they can fix some stuff in firmware to improve it.<br /><br />Subscribe on Library: https://lbry.tv/@eevblog:7<br />EEVblog Web Site: http://www.eevblog.com<br />The 2nd EEVblog Channel: http://www.youtube.com/EEVblog2<br />EEVdiscover: https://www.youtube.com/eevdiscover<br />Support the EEVblog through Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/eevblog<br /><br />AliExpress Affiliate: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/c2LRpe8g<br />Buy anything through that link and Dave gets a commission at no cost to you.<br /><br />Donate With Bitcoin & Other Crypto Currencies!<br />https://www.eevblog.com/crypto-currency/<br /><br />T-Shirts: http://teespring.com/stores/eevblog
