When the box is on display vertically, 1 year warranty is "UP" and both the other text is equally sideways. The voltage 0.3 is there for in-circuit testing where diodes might be present and you don't want to forward bias diode junctions, which reveals passive component performance more clearly. Usage rule of thumb to put yourself in the the most accurate range, use 10kHz for pF, 1kHz for nF, 100Hz for uF. Similarly, 10kHz for uH, 1kHz for mH, 100 Hz for H. Not only is the diode voltage low, the current is to. So the voltage drop across Schottky and silicon diodes are not accurate, because the current is close to the knee of the diode response curve. I agree - could be much better. Some other tweezers I have will do the job and also Zener diodes, but they are not LCR meters. Version 1.7 firmware has been released, includes the ability to log readings to a text file each time hold is pressed.

When measuring in-circuit, the 300mV test voltage may be very useful, as it in general does not activate most transistors, diodes, etc. If the reading was flashing (moving around, changing frequently) at 600mV, you may find that the reading settles down to just one reading that hopefully is accurate. Would like a short video update for in-circuit testing at 300mV, as you unfortunately did not cover that. Thanks for your work in testing this product. I appreciate it very much.

Zoyi released two firmware updates recently. 1.6 improves the speed when measuring. 1.7 adds data logging by pressing Hold

Nice unit. Glad to see it can be configured for use by us lefties too.

To me tweezer lcr meters are for checking surface mount component values during assembly. I would like to see how good they are for picking up and sorting components.

You sold me. Just bought 2x. Thanks....

Amazing! I have been offered one too and it looks like a decent LCR meter for a change :) it would be nice if it had 100hz as frequency measurement as well but I guess 1KHz and 10KHz would do. Thank you for doing the comparison, if I ended up making a video about it I'll point my viewers to this video for a reference with a proper LCR meter. (Edit - no, it can do 100Hz. I misread the feature list)

Strange thing with the printing on the box is that the text is in the correct orientation on the side of the box.

I don't know about the music doesn't really matched, play the yellow tune oh yeah! or chanson d'amour☺
is that any different to he fnirsi lcr st1 mini smart tweezers?

[TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

I've just got a TechRed TR1061 LCZ meter, but can't find a manual for it anywhere.

[karlfell]

The bending of the tip, and the sharpening was the first thing I did to mine. They are suprisingly good for the money. Only thing to determine now is the battery life, but it does appear to charge quite quickly

[KrotowX]

In comparing with my old Mastech MS8910 these tweezers are in completely new level for less price. If you are on tight budget, no doubt the best.

[Rudimaximus]

u not tested on tesboard the capacitors 1pf, 10pf ....

[erkanbakan]

It would be great if the measuring voltage and frequency were 0.1v/100khz

[stoptheirlies]

Thanks mate nice one, what does the display item bottom right on the Capacitance display mean that starts with D:

[rodrigomaero]

pretty much every device that has an LED, the manufacturer drives it as hard as possible to burn it out so you have to buy a new one! LED lamps for example specially do this

[hoobsgroove]

if you don't want them I buy them off you give me 25. I can't get them from the net do parts suppliers sell them like farnell?

[sveinfarstad]

Miiiiau, the japanese yellow one is good (DE5000)

[tcirit]

Thanks for the review. Will you review Fnirsi LCR-ST1 too?
