The Scale Dipse 2000 is a digital weighing scale that handles anything from 0.1g right up to 2,000g — making it one of the most versatile bench scales you can keep in a drawer. Five weighing modes (grams, grains, carats, ounces, and unit counting), auto-calibration, and a tare function come standard. It runs on two AAA batteries (included in the box) or a 5V DC adapter, so you can use it at a desk or take it wherever you need it.
A 0.1g resolution across a full 2kg range is the sweet spot for anyone who needs to weigh both small quantities and larger batches without swapping between two different scales. Loose herbs, powdered botanicals, gemstones, cooking ingredients, postal parcels — the Dipse 2000 handles them all on one platform.
We've sold pocket scales for years, and the most common complaint we hear is capacity. A typical pocket scale tops out at 100g or 200g, which is fine for small amounts but useless the moment you need to weigh out 500g of dried herb or portion a kilogram of anything. The Dipse 2000 solves that without sacrificing the 0.1g accuracy you actually need. At 382g and just 27mm tall, it's still compact enough to slide into a cupboard when you're done.
The honest limitation: 0.1g precision is excellent for this capacity class, but if you're measuring substances where milligram accuracy matters — say, individual portions under 1g — you'll want a milligram scale with 0.001g resolution instead. The Dipse 2000 is built for volume work with good accuracy, not ultra-fine microgram precision. Know what you need and pick accordingly.

The Dipse 2000 digital scale lets you toggle between five units without converting anything in your head. Grams and ounces cover most daily use. Grain and carat modes are genuinely useful if you work with loose gemstones, reloading components, or precious metals. The unit counting mode is a time-saver — drop a known quantity on the platform, tell the scale how many pieces that is, and it'll count the rest of your batch by weight. Handy for capsules, beads, seeds, or small hardware.
Switching modes takes a single button press. No menus, no holding three buttons at once. The display is backlit and easy to read, and the entire interface runs through two buttons — on/off and mode/tare. That's it. If you've ever wrestled with a scale that has six unlabelled buttons and a manual written in four languages, you'll appreciate the simplicity.
Complete your setup: pair the Dipse 2000 with a set of calibration test weights from Dipse to verify accuracy over time — especially useful if you're weighing for precision work. If you need finer resolution for very small quantities, check out the On Balance Myco scales, which read down to 0.01g on a smaller capacity.
The number one question we get about scales in this price range: "Is 0.1g accurate enough?" For 90% of what people weigh — herbs, teas, cooking ingredients, small postal items, jewellery components — yes, absolutely. The Dipse 2000 at 0.1g resolution across 2,000g capacity hits the practical middle ground. You're not paying for milligram precision you don't need, and you're not stuck with a 200g ceiling that forces you to weigh in batches.
The second most common question: "Should I get a pocket scale or a bench scale?" If portability matters and you're only weighing small amounts, a pocket scale is fine. But if you regularly weigh anything over 200g — or you just want one reliable scale that covers everything — the Dipse 2000's 2kg capacity and 160 x 135mm platform give you room to work. The platform is large enough to hold a decent-sized bowl without overhang, which matters more than people think. A bowl hanging off the edge of a tiny pocket scale gives you bad readings. Simple physics.
One thing to watch: batteries. The included AAAs will last a good while with normal use, but if you're running the scale for hours at a stretch — counting inventory, for instance — plug in a 5V DC adapter and save yourself the interruption of dead batteries mid-session. The adapter isn't included, but any standard 5V adapter with the right barrel connector works.
| Feature | Dipse 2000 | Typical Pocket Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 2,000g | 100–500g |
| Accuracy | 0.1g | 0.01–0.1g |
| Platform size | 160 x 135mm | ~60 x 70mm |
| Weighing modes | 5 (g, gn, ct, oz, counting) | 2–4 |
| Portability | Desk/bench use | Pocket-friendly |
| Unit counting | Yes | Rare |
| Power options | Battery + DC adapter | Battery only |
It reads in increments of 0.1g across the full 0–2,000g range. Auto-calibration on startup keeps it consistent. For best accuracy, use it on a hard, level surface and let it settle before reading.
Yes — the 2kg capacity and 0.1g resolution make it well-suited for weighing dried herbs, loose-leaf teas, and powdered botanicals. Use the tare function with a bowl to keep things tidy.
No. It calibrates itself automatically each time you switch it on. If you want to verify accuracy over time, you can use a calibration test weight, but day-to-day it handles itself.
Two AAA batteries, which are included in the box. You can also run it from a 5V DC adapter if you prefer mains power — useful for longer weighing sessions.
It counts identical small items by weight. You place a known number of pieces on the platform as a reference, and the scale calculates how many are in a larger batch. Great for capsules, beads, seeds, or small components.
For most weighing tasks — herbs, cooking, postal, jewellery — 0.1g is more than sufficient. If you're measuring individual doses under 1g where every milligram counts, go with a 0.001g milligram scale instead. Different tools for different jobs.
The scale measures 160 x 135mm overall, giving you a platform large enough to hold a standard mixing bowl or weighing tray without overhang. It's 27mm tall and weighs 382g — flat and stable.
