MAXUS Digital Milligram Scale 50g/0.001g, Compact Mg Scale with 20g Calibration Weight and Accessories, Black Powder Scale for Reloading

It's good enough for sure. It works pretty well and is fairly accurate. Sometimes it jumps around a few milligrams but for my purposes I don't need extreme accuracy, I just need a good close estimate of what I'm measuring. It's definitely within +-3 or 4 milligrams; it tends to measure a bit light I think, as in it might say 30 mg but be 32 in actuality. You get what you pay for and it's only around $17 so I cannot complain.

If you need a mg scale, this is a great one, especially for the price. It takes 2-AAA batteries, no coin or other special batteries required. It also comes with its own 20g weights to calibrate it - a rare thing. Very accurate, since it calibrates near mid and max capacity. Well thought out. Has a wind screen that covers the entire weighing area. Good for where you might have drafts that could throw the scale off. 0.001g is crazy small. You can probably weigh individual grains of sand with this thing. I got this scale mainly for mixing my own supplement solutions for my aquariums. Really impressed with this scale. Easy to use, read, calibrate. Couldn't as for anything more, except perhaps for a carrying case, but save the box with the inside trays and it will do.

Bought this to help measure very potent supplements that I take for testosterone levels that I have to be very exact with the amounts I'm taking, and this works perfectly for that, the milligram measurements is something not all of these scales can pull off. very portable and easy to carry around, although with all the accessories it comes with a pouch or case might be a good option as well. Seems to be pretty durable and the display is bright and easy to read, has a very professional looking appearance to it. I have zero complaints about it and it's good for everything I bought it for.

This digital scale is a great addition to my workspace. It is very compact and easy to store but feels sturdy enough for regular use. The backlit display is bright and clear which makes reading the fine milligram numbers effortless even in dim lighting. The precision is impressive for the price point and it handles very small amounts of powder or jewelry with consistent results. I checked it against a few other scales and it stayed within a tiny margin of error every time. Setting it up was simple and having the calibration weight included helps keep the readings accurate. The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is because the sensors are incredibly sensitive to any air movement around the platform. Even a slight draft can cause the numbers to jump a bit so you really need to use it in a closed room or with the shield down to get a steady result. Overall this is a high quality tool that does exactly what it says on the box. It is perfect for anyone who needs to weigh items under a gram without spending a fortune on lab equipment. I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others looking for a portable milligram scale.

I make custom swaged bullets so accuracy is a very high priority for me. Weighing core and jackets on a beam scale only gives me weight accuracy to within 0.1 grains. This is good but I wanted more accuracy. This scale provides an accuracy of 0.01 grains. For the price point this scale is hard to beat. Pros: The scale will weigh at least for what I’m doing up to 800 grains and I am generally only concerned with weights from 1.00 grains to up to 250.00 grains. This scale does this well. When it turns on it takes a few seconds to “warm up” but then it ready to go. It’s fast and accurate. I’ll weight cores and jackets together to get the exact weight I want and when measuring charges it gives me that little bit of extra accuracy. It’s great because I can use the powder pan from my RCBS scale and zero it out instantly. I don’t have to mess around. For any reloading it’s great!!! It’s easy to use and it will weigh anything in a variety weight standards that are selectable. I have some check weights I use and this scale is right on! If you’re using the metric system it’s great and so is the American standard in grains. It’s small and lightweight and takes of very little space on my bench. Battery life so far is long. I have the original batteries in it and I’ve had it for about a month and a half and use it on a regular basis. The cons: The scale is super sensitive to the slightest variation and if there’s any breeze from a vent or a fan over the pan it’ll throw different numbers at you. Use the cover and close it if you’re experiencing this. It’ll get rid of that outside influence. That is the only negative thing about the scale. It’s manageable and an easy fix. It comes with 2 pans. If you’re using it to weigh powder use your pan from your beam scale because the powder likes to stick to the pan from static.

I got this to measure out powdered dog medicine on a microgram level and it works great and is very accurate. It's small and light weight and doesn't take up a lot of space in my supplies.

Very pleased with this scale. It punches far above it's weight. I've had a number of low end (under $50) consume grade milligram scales, all suffered from drift and slow integration making measuring powders a pain. This one has no noticeable drift and updates almost instantly. It suggests a need to preload because they suggest it won't start reading until 6-15mg, but mine started reading at 3mg. The cover allows you to shield the scale from air movement for accurate measurements which is a nice feature. All in all not a lab grade scale but far superior to other consumer grade scales I've owned.

This scale has a potentially dangerous floating zero problem. I gave it a one star rating, because that's often the only way to get the needed info out to other customers so they can hear about a design deficiency, understand the issue, and know how they can still use this scale safely if they want to buy it. This review is a bit long, because I tried to explain the issue and the solution in several different ways. This scale is quite nice, especially for the price, as long as you avoid one potentially dangerous aspect of how this scale works. It has a terrible floating zero problem if you want to weigh out small amounts of something. The included instructions say that this scale is accurate to +/- 5mg, but it also will not register weights lighter than 9mg (SIDE NOTE- The scale I received almost never registers weights below 15mg when starting from zero). That 9mg+ spec doesn't sound like a big deal does it, because all you have to do is always weigh items over 9-15mg in weight and you are good to go with +/- 5mg accuracy right? Wrong. As long as you are putting something larger, like a marble or a stick of gum on the scale, or if you are adding 50mg items one at a time, this scale is excellent for the price, and 95% of the time it will give you a number that is within 5mg of the actual item weight, even with the scale zeroed out before adding the item you want to weigh. There are some reviews of this scale on youtube that show this exact type of testing, and this scale does an admirable job of being consistent. That was why I decided to buy one for myself. However, a potentially dangerous situation comes into play if you are trying to slowly weigh out something very lightweight, while also starting from zero. Zero, as in “nothing at all on the scale” or zero as in “adding something to a small tray that has been first zeroed out with a press of the TARE button”. The floating zero design failure of this scale will often rear its’ ugly head if you are wanting to weigh out things like tiny beads, small plant seeds, a supplement powder, reloading powder, or a chemical powder for a chemistry experiment. These are tasks people often want their milligram capable scales to perform. That's where this scale can be wildly inaccurate if you don’t do things a certain way. I mentioned at the beginning, the literature says this scale will have a hard time reading anything lighter than 9mg. What it doesn’t say is that if you start your scale at zero and then add 8mg of something, then add another 9mg 2 seconds later, then add 6mg two seconds after that, and then 9mg again, the scale will often still read zero, because all of those individual additions were each 9mg or less, with a tiny one or two second delay between adding each one. In other words, if you are wanting to weigh out 50mg of supplement powder and you start the scale at zero, but you add that powder to the scale too slowly, the scale might miss the addition of powder once, twice, every time, or never depending on how fast you added small amounts and how small each amount was. As a result, one time you can get a total of 50mg, you can weigh the same powder again more slowly and get a total of 34mg (because the scale will miss a few of the lighter weight powder additions at the begining), or you can add it even more slowly and in tiny amounts and the scale will always remain at zero. The only way I found to completely avoid this situation, is to make sure your scale never starts at zero when weighing very light things or when weighing things out very slowly. If you want to weigh out 30mg of supplement powder for instance, turn on the scale, then add the included black plastic tray to the scale but don’t press the TARE button and zero out the scale after doing that like you would normally do. Just begin weighing out your powder. As an example, if I put my empty plastic tray on the scale it weighs 3.090g (3090mg). If I want to measure out 30mg of supplement powder I just start adding powder to the tray until the total displayed weight becomes 3120mg (3090mg tray + 30mg of powder). If I do it that way, everything works great and the powder will show an accurate weight even if I add it to the tray slowly or in small amounts. If I instead start the scale from zero, (or tare it to zero before adding the powder) I will end up with some random result between 0mg and 30mg for my total supplement powder weight and the displayed weight will be different each time depending on how fast I added the powder to the scale. That could be very dangerous, especially if you want to fairly accurately weigh something like reloading powder, a chemical powder, etc. The image I included with this listing shows little pieces of cut up plastic that I made. Each piece of plastic shown weighs between 6 and 15mg. My scale in the image was started out at zero before adding the plastic pieces. They were placed on the scale one at a time, with about a 1-2 second delay between each one. As you can see the scale still shows zero. All those pieces shown on the scale actually weigh a total of 172mg (or 0.172g). That’s what I mean when I say this scale has a “floating zero problem” when dealing with small weights. This scale will consistently show the proper 172mg weight of the plastic pieces if they are poured onto the scale rapidly or if they are slowly added one at a time to a known weight (not zeroed out via the TARE button) already sitting on the scale.

Works well, no issues

Astoundingly accurate for the price. If you're on a budget and need a milligram precision scale look no further.

احيانا لا يعطي قراءة دقيقة لكن بشكل عام جيد

Como mencione en el titulo, si buscas mediciones exactas este no es un producto para hacerlo. Se descalibra facilmente y aunque la báscula supuestamente ofrece lecturas hasta 0.001 mg, los valores en los últimos 2 digitos (0.0xx mg) fluctuan facilmente aun sin que intervengas. A tomar en cuenta si necesitas mediciones pequeñas exactas.

Semble parfaite pour mes besoins.
