Rigol probe issues

[mikro]

In my experience there were cases where the classic clips had their use (e.g. pin headers) but yeah, for stuff like Videl or Combel -- invaluable.

I think they are crazy good (to be fair, I don't have much experience with other ones to compare with)
I've probed socketed as well as directly soldered PLCC's without trouble with them.

You can pretty much stick them on anything, tiny legs on fine-pitched smd's included, and they generally stay put even if you accidentially bump them a little bit.

EEVblog did a bit on an older version of the probes:

WOOOW. This is f*ing amazing! Thanks to both of you for bringing this up.

I finally purchased one of those PCBITE probes. What can I say. I think that whoever invented this hands free concept deserves a Nobel prize. They are really magic. Invaluable for many applications. I also love that they come with multiple grounding options. Thanks again for bringing this up.
