Thanks for the review! I'm a casual hobbyist and I was on the fence to buy Fnirsi 1014D despite all it's quality issues, only because of its low price point. After this review I ended up ordering this Owon clone for the price of Fnirsi.
Thank you! Hopefully viewers understand that these reviews are a challenge as the video revenue will not cover the costs of the item purchase. Great job!
Hi, not even close, I bought the DSO2C10 for a review also, it took 2 years and something to be paid with the money of the views of that video review and it is one of my most seen videos. Is not for the money for sure, well at least with a channel of the size of mine. I'm glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and your encouraging comment! 💪
I'm glad that Owen/CDEK have decided to compete with the annoyingly popular Fnirsi 1014D, which has traditionally been overpriced for what it is. Fnirsi now makes many excellent products, but the 1014D is not one of them and they will hopefully upgrade or replace it soon with something that is a tool rather than a toy.
Hi, I'm started to think that CDEK is just a brand of Liliput to send Owon devices to the market at a lower price. With this new updated hardware, this is really nice as oscilloscope, almost rigol level nice. Thanks for watching.
but 1014d here(indonesia) is cheaper around 140usd, the sds1102s is 400usd, so is fair price to fnirsi side. i acctually buy zoyi zt703s, update the filmware to 1.4.2 and is very good
The thing with owon is it makes your local supermarket brands as well as it's own, in my country we dont have cdek, we have voltcraft, and currentlt the cheapest oscilloscope on the local market, (not shipped from china directly but already full paid import and taxes and shiped from local wearhouse ) is the 4 channel 150mhz version of that looks exactly like your white owon expect it is also black like cdek and i am tempted to buy it for that 260 euro because 2 channel owon, hantek and sigilent are all 300 now fro local distribution and only fnirsi or peaktech can be found for less (175 and up still 2 channels only) while geniuine owon sells from 280 euro directly from theyre website, so it seems to be a simple rebrand, the price isn't that suspicious either
Just stumbled across your channel and didn’t expect to see a scope at the price point being useful but it certainly looks interesting for the money. I am tempted to try one of these just out of curiosity. Thanks
Hello. Great review. I agree with you, this is a great device for his money. I also acquired it and use it with pleasure. I have not very large demands for the oscilloscope, I am an ordinary radio amateur, and he completely suits me. Good luck!!!
Было бы интересно посмотреть на тесты данного осциллографа CDEK SDS1102X, с другим в начале видео OWON SDS1104. Первый это обновленная версия, а 2й это старая версия, и посмотреть, что разработчики улучшили, а что "испортили"..
Hi, you're right, but they will have to send me a new Owon for testing, I can't afford to buy two for reviews... the channel even with your help, can't afford a lot of shopping. But it was a very good suggestion and who knows in the future I will able to do it. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Thanks for this video, I see that this fibroscope has an usb charger with no ground, so with this device I can measure instruments connected to the home electrical circuit without risk of ground loop?
Technically not in all cases. I have seen Hanmatek with DC or DC power, but not Vevor or another rebrand called Labloot which are AC powered. That may affect the internal specs.
Hi, I bought this suspecting already that this will be a Owon product, to be honest, I think I kind of lost myself during the video establishing that trough comparations 😁 the bottom line is I really liked this for the price we can get it, if you analyze it, you can buy this complete and with quality oscilloscope almost for the price of portable one with 2 channels and 100Mhz. Thanks for watching!
Exact same software interface as the Hanmatek DOS1102, so assuming the same manufacturer. That split screen XY interface with no way to full-size the XY view is awful, and is the reason I sold it.
Hi, considering the other entry level oscilloscopes available, 1104D, 2D10/15, etc, this has a better interface in my opinion, not including obviously Rigol, Siglent and so on, that have a much higher price and specs. Thanks for watching.
@@TechCornerTV It's not a bad scope, as long as you don't plan on using XY mode. I just can't understand why they didn't at least allow full-screen XY to be an option - it's such an easy and basic expected thing coming from any other scope. The best thing any of these low end scope companies could do is to just open source their firmware - the community would go absolutely wild.
I've been looking around for relatively cheap but quality signal multi channel high voltage capable units for PEMF experiments...this one has come up, along side the owon...you talk more about measuring than singal generation, but as the entry level pemf, from my ognorant perspective this would be fully capable and closer to upper of the range for diy pemf... Would you agree with that? Or suggest a different model for this kind of price.
Hi, I agree. This will be enough for you, if you want a more "stable" support than the seller, go with the Owon brand, the devices are the same. Thanks for watching and your nice comment.
@@TechCornerTV So...how do actually generate a signal with this unit? I can't find any online manuals to download and don't recall you going through that in the video.
I just watched the video. I just subscribed to your channel My understanding is that if it can be battery powered then it has ground isolation like a portable oscilloscope for repairing switching power supplies. Am I right or was this an incorrect assumption?
Thanks for reviewing this instrument but since it has no existence on web then no need to advertise it and just refer to OEM version of OWON trustful brand name ....
Hi, CDEK seems to have more products, so not sure if this a shadow brand of Owon of just a company rebranding products. Anyway, if Owon SDS1102 is like this, it's a very good oscilloscope. Thanks for watching.
@@TechCornerTV Ok , if you liked this product model then you can also do your OEM contracting with OWON to produce your own brand name with specific adjustments like CDEK did and sell to whole world and promote your own products , would you give a try ?!...
Frankly, any digital oscilloscope that does not have intensity gradient is a toy and a waste of money. Yet they keep selling them. You really need intensity gradient to "see" complex waveforms. But if you just look at square waves and sine waves, like everyone uses to demo.... the cheapest turd can do that. If you ONLY work with digital logic, these scopes are fine. Just TRY to display something old, like an analog color pattern.... good luck!
Hi, I understand what you say, but every case is a different case, not everyone repair old electronics, for me this should be more than enough, I have my channel for 3 years, give or take, and not once I needed that gradient on my projects. It's true, I'm a hobbyist, but hobbyist are a market also and don't need to spend more than 300€ on rigol or equivalent for something that they can have for half. I know that the quality is different, and so on, but all depends on your needs and more than that, your budget. I understand what you say, I reviewed a few oscilloscopes already, and while this is not the top of the chart, for 123€ beats everything I tested before, even the old Owon SDS1104 I have here. No need to say, that I'm referering to entry line oscilloscopes, not going to established brands, Keysight, Rigol, Siglent and so on. I appreciate your comment and I really do value the time you took to share, but I know from all the comments I see in here, that for example for countries like India, Pakistan and others that I see a lot of viewers here, for that price they will have a tool much better than the normal 100€ portable oscilloscope that they are *able to afford*. So again, in my point of view, I compare this device according the devices in it's price range. I will not even compare a Renault Clio with a Mercedes Benz SLK 500HP, I will compare a Clio with VW Polo, Peugeot 208, and so on. This is the position I take when reviewing an oscilloscope. What you're saying is that we should consider Dacia cars, one of the cheapest in europe, toy cars, they have the bare essential and when compared with VW they have a lot missing, but they're are enough for a lot of people, even for companies, and they're one of brands that grow and sold more cars in europe in the last years. Just an example, I hope that you get my point, I'm not saying that you're points aren't valid, they are, but there is always a lot of people that this will be enough. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing!
@@TechCornerTV Well, I use an HP 54624A. Can be had very cheap if you stay off eprey, and does all this beautifully. I get what you are saying and I DID mention that it's fine for people that only do basic and digital stuff. But a modern scope with intensity gradient can be had for just a little more from siglent or Rigol, so it's been my experience that buying TOO cheap will just force you to upgrade sooner or later, spending MORE money. I made this mistake myself and absolutely regretted it. Note, I started with TUBE scopes. Just my thoughts, as sometimes it IS better for a beginner to step up some on a scope, which is the most important tool on any bench. Better to grow into it than regret the purchase because it can't display certain things. I think my point is that the entry price point between a more capable scope and one that is not, is very minimal today.
what is this intensity gradient stuff and why does it let you see complex waveforms? i’m a newbie and looking for a scope so i googled the term but didn’t understand it

yes and the 1014d front end seems only supporting 30mhz, it claims 100mhz, above 30 is -3db down.

I have pretty much the same scope with another brand on it, but the USB power source is a really nice feature. (mine connects directly to the mains)

The same product is also sold under the VEVOR brand
You are correct. I just bought the Vevor SDS1102 ...
Hi, nice to know, thanks for watching and sharing the info!
Technically not in all cases. I have seen Hanmatek with DC or DC power, but not Vevor or another rebrand called Labloot which are AC powered. That may affect the internal specs.
What is hilarious is that the stock photo on Ali shows an OWON logo top-left on the screen. That's as many words as needed to tie in the rebranding :)

Hello, you're right. Since it is powered by USB, it was no earth connector, so it is isolated. Thanks for watching.
Did anyone hook this up to a pc (via USB) and control/view from there? Is it usable like that? Do you need to use the OWON Software?
Does it have variable persistence mode?
