Hi! I have never had a problem with the scales turning off after zeroing. I've had plenty of time to get the fish into the sling and get ready to go back to the scales. I'm not sure how long they stay zeroed but I have always been able to weigh the fish without any issues. I happily recommend these scales. I hope that helps and thank you for watching and commenting. Ian.

@@WelshCarpers Thank you for the reply Ian. Tight lines

Hi, thanks for watching our video and for your question. I'm not sure what you mean by a 'hold' function, but I have used these scales for a while now and they have been excellent, I'm happy to recommend them. If you use them as demonstrated in the video there is plenty of time to zero the scales, place the fish in your sling and then take your fish, in the sling, to weigh on the scales. The scales can be used with or without a tripod. I hope this answers your question. Ian.

⁠​⁠@@WelshCarpers What I mean by the hold function: if you hang the sling on the weigher and once the scale indicates the correct weight, the weight remains on the display, even after removing the weighing sling. My scale now gives a signal and "hold" appears on the display along with the correct weight. So you can take off the sling and check again how much the weight was. If I switch the scale off and on again, the last measured weight appears a few seconds before it returns to zero. My scale now has 2 negative points. First of all, the batteries die, even if I don't use them. Secondly, the hold function does not work properly. When I weigh a fish from my hands, the weight keeps fluctuating. I have to use a tripod to see the final weight. I want to buy the Fox Digital Scale but wanted to be sure that it has the 'hold function'. And that it indicates the final weight sufficiently quickly, even when weighing without a tripod.

@@frederikvanlerberghe7327 OK, thank you, I understand what you mean. Let me check that for you tomorrow and I will let you know. It doesn't have a 'hold' button but I will test the behaviour for you and post an update tomorrow.

@@frederikvanlerberghe7327 I have just tested the scales and I cannot see a way to 'hold' the weight - I tried a few button combinations but nothing worked. As soon as you remove the weight from the scales it goes to zero. Here is the PDF manual for these scales - there is no mention of a hold function: foxcdn.blob.core.windows.net/fox-media/16313/cei155-fox-digital-scales-instruction-manuals-2022.pdf I don't know of scales that have this function so I am unable to recommend any. Let us know if you find suitable scales. Take care; tight lines, Ian
