Brymen BM786 DMM Part 1, Intro & Functional Test

Would be interesting to do a test for nS mode alone. Just like Fluke 87 III Briman BM786 can be used for testing insulation for e.g. on car coils etc or diode leakage. It certainly not for stress testing of insulation but gives a very good idea. I guess with some patience even length of unterminated wires can be determined in this mode?

How this model of multimeter compares in terms of reliability of the screen to lets say to Fluke meters?

The real life signal testing is under appreciated. Thanks for that. There is not so much real world use for meters being accurate on very clean sinewaves and testing of that.

Which one is the best multimeter for everything. ( home, industrial, electricians and for electrical users)

Why so few of them were produced. They are not available for sale. Are there many defects?

I have Brymen,Fluke and another dmms. And I love my Fluke quick and safe work better than all others! I have no Agilent/Keysight and Gossen dmm and it is interesting to buy them for practicing and сompare if its be better than Fluke.

Explain 60,000 counts what that means. I’m used to a very, very old Fluke 83 (late80’s?? Or early 90’s). I have no idea how many counts it is, I just know it’s very good. I also have the 131GW and dislike it very much and never grab for it. I did order a BM786, knowing that it supports Dave and looks a lot nicer than the 131GW (yes, not as capable, but more useable).

Great review, I'm Looking forward transient test. I'm planning to buy bm789 on February next year since I want a meter with LoZ.

Nice review, seems they need to fix some problems.

nice video... i have used lots of meters over the years and really like the extech equipment for the money and is great for hobby arduino and the like projects... thanks...:)

In light of the rapid development, it is possible to test some new measuring devices of Chinese origin with an explanatory video. Like device (bside zt-5566)

wonderful video, as always

Dear wonderful video. I spoke previously so far, there are no new models. If only the year of manufacture, type of processor is added to the file, and how many times of reading per second is it possible to modify the file (multimeter from eevblog)

Have the 869s and love it, only gripe with it is that it doesn't beep in diode mode like the flukes and keysight

Great Video as always
Thanks for sharing :-)

I already want it :-) Like the format, not as big as the bigger brother. The red circle around the switch is like go faster stripes on a car :-D. Wonder what the price will be for it. Can't wait for more videos on it and if possible a peek inside too.

I am a bit worried about this “nano semen” thing. As I’m approaching my 40th birthday, is it gonna happen to me too? 😧

Fluke 189.
Old indeed.
Obsolete?
Not really, i'd say fluke 189 will give you best bang for your money among others.
Good input protection without the need to modify it.
Good accuracy stability in the long run.
50000 count should be good for many electronics, especially it can do 1 uVolt resolution.

Everytime I compare specification and pricewise of good bench dmm, turns out fluke 189 still give you the best value, hence I haven't get my bench dmm yet.
I suppose a good bench dmm should be somewhat significantly better than my handheld dmm.

As 4 wire resistance measurement you find on most bench multimeter, simply get a 1amp constant current source and those fluke with 1uVolt resolution.
A bit cumbersome with 2 device, yes; but surely beats the price.

Bm269s is surely good one, but hard to find and pricewise it is still more expensive compared to a good condition 2nd hand fluke 189.

Brymen 869 and Fluke 189 are so very spot on close to each other. Always very identical.

Good job Joe...👍🏼🙂...I have a very strong feeling that between Dave and Brymen..they will look into your initial findings.
By the way, I know that the Extech EX540 and CEM DT-9939 are basically the same meter, but I am partial to the CEM DT-9939 seeing as I now own one...so it would be really groovy to see you feature it in your upcoming shakedown...👊🏽🙂

It would be neat to see the waves on the oscilloscope.. As always nice job testing the new meter out!

Looking forward to the next test!!

I love this meters test videos. See you on the next on. Be safe!

Interesting to see a sneak preview of new Brymen DMM's.
But not very revealing. Of course this is not a top model.
I'd like to see in what direction top of the range DMM's will develop function wise. Maybe we'll see when Fluke updates it's top of the line 289 (which has been going for more than a decade now I believe). In the last decade we've mostly seen logging functionality and wireless connectivity on higher range DMM's, but I have a feeling most leading manufacturers are very busy working behind the scenes on new top of the line models that will incorporate whole new featuresets.
I for one would love to see DMM's develop functionality like measuring Watts (a few already have that), Watthours and Amphours (especially in combination with logging)
