A laser pointer at 2B FPS [video]

The triggering scheme is completely brilliant. One of those cases where not knowing too much made it possible, because someone who does analog debug would never do that (because they would have a 50k$ scope!.

Does anyone have a $50,000 scope they could just give to this dude? He seems like he would make great use of it.

Honestly I think if we each wrote a nice personal letter to Keysight they’d probably gift him one in exchange for the YouTube publicity. Several other electrical engineers on YT get free $20-50k keysight scopes not just for themselves, but once a year or so to give away to their audience members.

And yes, this person could make use of it. His videos are among the highest quality science explainers - he’s like the 3B1B of first principles in physics. Truly a savant at creating experiments that demonstrate fundamental phenomena. Seriously check out any of his videos. He made one that weighs an airplane overhead. His videos on speed of electricity and speed of motion and ohms law are fantastic.

Keysight is not very hobbyist friendly these days. A year or two ago it broke on the Eevblog forums that they were refusing to honor warranties/service contracts unless you had a corporate account with them. If you were just a guy with a scope you would be SOL.

Do you have any better recommendations?
