@eevblog Thanks for the world exclusive video. So nice the guys let you tear it down when they must have already known your reputation for brutal Aussie honesty. An interesting form factor, pehaps inspired by those
prosumer music production studios? At a glance, some might wonder where the headphone jack is?
On the prosumer look: On a cheap-bay
HankyScope, plastik parts held together with randomly located self tappers is expected. However, my brand expectations at this price-point warrants a milled aluminium [or carbon fibre] back shell; held in place with stainless torx bolts.
On robustness, has anyone drop tested this scope from a meter height on to a concrete floor, and on to just one corner? Twice? Or even wrenched the BNC sockets sideways by snagging the test leads in a the door of a passing car? The metal
chastity yoke is a must have accessory. Is there a silicone-rubber bumper/fender to fit round the scope when it's being used in the wilderness? For the hardware asset managers, this scope belongs in the 'test pool' on a lease/service/calibration contract. It's the leasing company's expensive problem to fix when one of your wunderkind engineers zaps it
I see the scope as two distinct variants; a slim tablet desk version and a fat battery portable version. Maybe the battery pack fits other scopes in the series? Or were there two design teams in different timezones doing plug-and-play thinking? Either way, in a world s so used to iPads, a snap on battery pack is rather 20th century.
Again, thumbs up for that vesa mount.
