T4D 26 - Amprobe AM160

[Kiriakos GR]

All that is in the picture are three thermometers , one dmm and one clamp.

Fluke are about to present their latest models with wireless technology.
I have even get in their email list, about getting info first, about the specific subject.
The point is that all the technologies about wireless communications are all ready known,
I am holding a small basket about what Fluke have cooked up.

but if you personally could choose any meter at any price out there.....what would it be?

This one might be interesting.

The form factor of a Fluke 28 II, but with a Fluke 287 screen?  Add wireless to it.  I have no idea of the specs though.

Details coming on Oct 24?

I purchased an Amprobe AM-140-A a couple of weeks ago.  I made several videos reviewing that product.

Thanks for making them.  I am downloading them now.  I now have to find 1 hour to watch it later tonight or tomorrow night.  I'm looking forward to it.  I even see a Fluke 27!

That's a wonderfully detailed review! Thanks heaps!

Apart from the hour glass shape it looks very much like some of the meters in the Brymen series.

Truly great and complete presentation.
Lots of passion for perfectness, and extreme detail.
I would love to have a strong hand shake with you and share a beer.   

Apart from the hour glass shape it looks very much like some of the meters in the Brymen series.

It is one OEM BRYMEN / BTC, which belongs at the older designs which was not targeting the industrial market ( VFD filter, improved back light, dual functions on LCD, new external case) .
If they improve the narrow angle of view, it would be a significant step ahead.
 
From my research it looks that BRYMEN and APPA in Taiwan, are using the same LCD supplier, and so the narrow viewable angle, is a common issue.

This is my first video review so I appreciate the kind words from all of you.  Oh a beer sounds nice.

I updated part 3 of the review around 6:40 minutes with a still picture of the backlight display because the video shot didn't show the display well.  As I did mention in the original review the display with the backlight is readable.  John

John, how much did you pay for it (meter & USB Kit) ?

A better pic here.

It looks like the 233 body (not 28 II).  I also don't see the words Autohold above the hold button?

Martin, feel free to move this post to another thread so we don't clutter up the Amprobe info.

I have no problem with the side stepping on the topic. Great to see all the input.

Kiriakos GR,  I purchased both the meter and software/hardware kit through Amazon.  The meter was $161.32 USD and the data logging kit was around $61.00.
