For anyone using one of these, can you please tell me if you've had any issues properly measuring 470 pF capacitors (or smaller)?
No issues at all with the correct connectors.
The tweezers are best for low value capacitors. Obviously, one must remove the component on test from the circuit, otherwise odd values will show.

Try measuring some resistors under 1,000 ohms to determine if your measurement technique is faulty or if your meter has a problem. One of my DE-5000's developed a problem where resistance measurements below 1,000 ohms were over 10% off. Found a thread on the EEVblog where an owner had a similar problem & fixed it by replacing one resistor. Replaced the one bad resistor in mine & now it's well within specs on resistors and small capacitors.
