A cool little scope. Thanks for the review :-) I always look forward to my daily dose of IMSAI Guy 👍

Thanks for the review! I actually would not have minded you doing a teardown as well. Quite frankly, Dave's teardowns leave a lot to be desired sometimes ("Some sort of chip, couldn't find any datasheet, your guess is as good as mine" on a SOC with the datasheet being the second hit on google, that sorta thing...)
This is less to poo-poo on EEVblog, rather my point is: Don't be afraid of doing something that someone else did too. There's room for more than one teardown on the internet ;)

This is a Very impressive Oscilloscope by it's new features alone, and it being able to display Lissajous correctly is extremely impressive!
Thanks for reviewing!

Kerry Wong is the other youtuber mentioned at 10:41, anyone that likes this channel would probably find his interesting as well.

I have a big scope in my lab, but I got one of these for the Ham Shack to keep an eye on RF waveforms. It's fantastic for that simple job. Works great!

I see the specs and want to get one but Fnirsi has burned me twice before. Its expensive in my part of the world because they aren't sold locally and both times their products have either died suddenly or over promised and not lived up to specs.

I bought a fnirsi dmm scope combo and have been happy with it. I was able to debug the video section of the replica Ohio Scientific superboard computer I've been working on. I also got their usb powered soldering iron and have made it my go-to because it is so nice.

There appears to be a slightly different version of this with the same model number. Costs a little more. Perhaps it's updated. Casing logo and buttons look a little different

Yes it's one of those where all the banner specs only count when a single channel is labelled, but on the plus side for a chinese o'scope it doesn't seem to be plain lying about them for once (sooo many in the past...) Generator would be a tiny bit nicer if you could at least adjustably-decrease the amplitude of it to some degree.
I bought one earlier, it's a pity, after a month or two or sale they figured they could make much friendlier (to press) buttons and changed the look. For the size though, and without having to spend Rigol money yet, it's pretty good.

Whoa! A scope Daniel "DiodeGoneWild" Danyk hasn't made a video on. He's my to-go channel on Fnirsi gear :).

What's the best fit handheld scope to buy? Without cost being too big? Usage light flickering analysis using sensor and scope

Hi do you know how to check firmware version on it?
Rick.
the square wave is buggy in this review. There is a firmware update to fix that.

most of the FNIRSI oscilloscopes had a very limited vertical sensitivity of 50 mV/div min. What is it on this one?

I recently purchased a QMX transceiver kit from QRP Labs and after assembly everything works EXCEPT I am getting zero power output on transmit. Would this scope be sufficient to do some signal tracing / troubleshooting? I realize I can't connect it directly to the PA output or I will blow it up, but I think there are some examples out there on how to create a sampling circuit.

Nice, but ill wait till it can do decodes on i2c spi and serial comms etc

Eh while it seems to be technically decent I can't help but notice it sounds like very cheap plastic when you move it about.
I'm not sure what market segments it's targeting, it's not really rugged enough for automotive use and it's rather lacking for bench use considering you can get a 200MHz 2ch Siglent scope for a bit less than 3x the price, it doesn't seem good value to me.

Sigh. I spent a month on and off looking for an inexpensive handheld scope that was the real deal. I finally selected one and purchased it a couple of months ago. It does everything it said it would do, but it was $70 more than this one and won't do as much as this. Sigh. But it seems like that's going to be the case for sometime to come with handheld scopes. They get better and better and cheaper and cheaper by the month. That's a good problem to have. I guess I'll just get myself a new one for my birthday every year and give my old one to some kid who I'm Elmering who's interested in doing more than just DXing.

I have one of those for about 4 months, the thing that is most FRUSTRATING is triggering at low frequencies (<30khz +\-), including single mode, there is a thread on eevblog were more people confirm this issue, also mine is with a vertical scale error of about -10%, also often it completely bricks out of nowhere, it lacks some basic measurements and functions that wouldn't had been hard to implement in the software... I like the screen and form factor, but as the usual on these cheap stuff, they make 98% of it right, and they let the remaining 2% (bugs etc) ruin completely the device functionality, with a bit more attention to the software this device would have quite potential, i hope they can fix at least the triggering problems.
