I had the one mentioned in above posts but had problems with the batteries flattening and faint display.
This unit is better with a regular AAA battery and the screw on attachment means the cart is measured at the correct height which does makes a slight difference to the reading. Only disadvantage is the bigger size and the attachment is fiddly to fit so is best left on at all times.

I’ve got both the ones linked to above.
The one with the side attachment measures down to .001’s, where as the one on the first link “only” measure down to .01’s.
Both seem pretty accurate comparing to each other & another gauge I also have.
The one with the side attachment is a bit more fiddly to use & store. The first one seems ( I’m sure it actually IS) exactly the same as the one branded as Pro-Ject & a few other names as well.
Either will do a great job & are good enough for the keen amateur.

Thanks for all the info.!
Think I'll be happy enough measuring to 0.01g...so will go with the scale referred to in post #2
You may well find, especially with the cheap Chinese-made scales, that the magnet of a moving coil cartridge will give a false reading.
