The large stainless steel platform fits a sample bag, small jar, or a clutch of trim with room to spare, and the two included weighing trays double as protective lids when the scale's stowed. Green back-lit LCD, four-button operation, auto-off, tare, overload protection — all the standard precision-scale toolkit, in a 206-gram package that lives easily on your bench or in a tool bag. If you've outgrown a 100g pocket scale but don't need the 710-Pro's full concentrate-handling kit, this is the practical middle ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(200px, 1fr)); gap: 1rem; margin-bottom: 2rem;\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background: #f4f9f4; border-left: 4px solid #2e5e2e; padding: 1rem 1.2rem; border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cstrong style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 0.3rem; color: #2e5e2e;\"\u003e500g Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\n      \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.9rem; color: #444;\"\u003eFive times the headroom of a typical pocket scale, without giving up the 0.01g precision.\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background: #f4f9f4; border-left: 4px solid #2e5e2e; padding: 1rem 1.2rem; border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cstrong style=\"display: block; margin-bottom: 0.3rem; color: #2e5e2e;\"\u003eDual Weighing Trays\u003c\/strong\u003e\n      \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.9rem; color: #444;\"\u003eTwo trays included.
