@@MrLRankin2 Yes, it seems many oscilloscope manufacturers are using the same probe manufacturer in China. They tend to work alright, except for some reason RIGOL made the decision to have their probe tips be narrower than usual which you can see by the step in them toward the tip. They did not however think to make the clips match the narrower tips it seems. Therefore, they do not make a good contact with the clips which is what I fixed.
Nice fix I have the same scope yeah I quit using their probes right away when I first got the scope I ended up ordering two different probes from prob master Definitely not cheap but haven’t had any issues with their
Thank you.
I thought that the fault was in the molded probe itself and that i was completely out of luck.

Now I'm paranoid about my scope probes... Thanks
Easy to check, set probes to x1 and use a multimeter on ohms as I did...
