SHS sells this one by Tahmazo. ~$70. Has all the function u mentioned. Good investment to keep check on current drawn to prolong the life of ur lipos.

Well, this one is really good but quite pricey. Check out the video they have http://aircraft-world.com/shopexd.asp?id=2857 In the mean time, ask around and see if anyone can lent u one to measure on the field. Else stick to the motor charts, they give a good approx.

SLT - Ampmeter found!!

Hey I was just doing some shopping for this, and bought one at Sim Lim Tower after searching for a long time!! !!!!

Bought the Kyoritsu Kew 2000, which is a nice compact one that should suit the requirement. (60 Amp DC max)

http://www.kew-ltd.co.jp/en/products/multimeters/2000.html

I was surprised that most shops sell only AC Ampmeters, and, the DC ones cost a bomb!!! Finally got this at:

CE-Test & Measurement at Sim Lim Tower B1-18

The lady there Diana was pretty helpful too! You'd be surprised.. many shopkeepers there don't know their meters too well!!!
