Cool tip. I ditched beam scales years ago. Can't stand going that slow.

Similar to how the Prometheus achieves its precision; always viewed from a consistent location and enlarged for granularity.

I’m using a Rcbs charge master. But still check each charge on a beam scale.

The beam scale seems to work better for me with a trickler.  Get both and all that.

I started using a cellphone camera. Then for $10 bought a cheap webcam off ebay and mounted it to the scale. Just need to make sure the webcam can be manually focused. Added a pointer to the scale. I like this camera mod very much!









Recently bought a 1080dpi webcam for a progressive press so I can stay seated while monitoring powder is in the case before adding a bullet. Only $25 on ebay.
I can toggle between the 2 cameras.

Cheap cameras put to good use.

Here's some tips on tuning up a scale if you find a need: https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Tuning-a-balance-beam-scale/42-520054/

I was leading in that direction with the beam scale, until I learned about the V3. More accurate and speed.
Just my luck the V4 was a year later.

Not to sidetrack the thread, but I'd keep the V3. I ended up pre-ordering a V4 and sold my V3 in the meantime and regrated it. Ended up with a Supertrickler and it has its own quirks, but the V3 really was a good piece of kit. I wanted to get everything integrated into one unit, but it has created its own set of challenges in the V4 and Supertrickler.
