There are a lot of "third hand" probe holders such as the QuickProbe: https://tyrosys.com/quickprobe https://tyrosys.com/quickprobe

- mindslight 6y agoThat looks like a pretty nifty idea for a 3D printable community design. I'm picturing either copper or aluminum wire for the adjustable-shape part, a spring for the active holding force, and a vertical scope probe for the lead length issues discussed in the article.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoI like tacking on stubs of precut 30awg wire if signal integrity isn't an issue. It's much easier to manage multiple probes and you aren't constantly worried about losing contact. With problematic packages that can't be probed directly you can tack a wire onto a nearby resistor or slip it into a via if you planned ahead and made them big enough. Then you're ready to securely hook on with a scope probe or grabber clip.
