The zero adjustment looks to be a wheel, not a button, not sure.
That amp clamp appears to be the same one that comes with the scope they sell.Comment

The Hantek scopes that I've seen so far have BNC connectors, the more adapters you have to cobble together the more chance you have for a connector issue. Even though I'm just a bottom feeder, I'ld rather deal with a reputable company based in the USA that stocks Chinese merchandise.
In event I have a complaint that could result in an incompetent employee getting fired for an F'up than dealing with an incompetent Chinaman that might have to face a whole Firing Squad for incompetence.
I sure hope it hasn't happened yet.Comment

I got in touch with the seller today , the meter comes with a adaptor (included) not shown in that picture above, BCN to Banana. It should take about a month to get here. 56 bucks new.
Also got a High amp clamp from ebay Westward 6jg57, 37 bucks new.
Still watching video's and reading on Vantage Pro.Comment

Banana connectors
Those type B Banana connectors in the picture unfortunately appear to be female style , and I don't think they can plug into the female probe recepticles of vantage Pro or Modis unless you get a couple male to male adapters , and in that case, you might as well get the one with BNC connectors (in case you get a Pico or an improved Chinese Knock Off Hantek USB Scope later ) and get the BNC to banana adapter so you can use it on the Vantage Pro for the time being. I figure the now discontinued Vantage Pro should still see another 5 years of support .Comment

That is a BNC to Banana adapter, but that won't plug into a Vantage Pro,but would attach to an oscilloscope that has BNC connectors and allow banana style probes to work on a scope with BNC connectors
The Vantage Pro and Modis appear to have female channel receptacles (holes in center) that receive the male part of a banana connector in the center, though it might be shrouded on the outside for alignment and tighter fit, See if you are able get an end view of the type b connector ends of the low amp probe to see if they have the banana peg in the center (male)or just a hole (female)Comment

You can use that BNC adapter pictured on a Pico Scope or BNC scope later on when you get one. The twin banana connector end probably cant just be inserted as is into the Vantage bridging from Com to Channel 1 or Channel 2.
Here is a real Snap on Low Amp Probe on Ebay. If you hover the cursor over the picture to enlarge it and see the connector , you will see it is a 90 degree shrouded male banana connector that has a peg in the center , much like the style a lot of multi meters use.
I read post somewhere that someone tried the knock offs , CA 60 was made in Taiwan and the CC 65 was made in China but the writer preferred the the feel of CA60 because it worked smoother for him. Don't take my word on that though.Comment
