I'm sure I'm the last one to have seen it, but looking at the screen is a whole lot easier on my eyes.
And I don't have to bend my neck to look straight on

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 was doing that with mine but found it faster to just use manual dispenser first Originally Posted By wildearp: The beam scale seems to work better for me with a trickler. Get both and all that. this is the way for me

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.  Attached File |

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.  AutoTrickler V3 vs V4 (beta) |

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. |
