Budget LCR Meter Review: Proster BM4070 Unboxing & Test

After the DIY LEDs project, I thought it was time to invest in a proper LCR meter - so I got myself a cheap and cheerful one from Aliexpress.

So far the meter seems to work pretty well, on very low inductance values you need to subtract the inductance of the leads. You can get the one I've got from Aliexpress (affiliate link):

If it works OK for that price, it would be something ... Happy new year, Chris.

The BM4070 is sold under several names. It has limitations but all in all, a good meter..

Would be nice to have a cheap lcr with variable frequency

I wish someone could test it against some known expensive brand, cause at that price it's really really tempting
