The link in the video to EEVblog doesn't work. This does:
"EEVblog #453 - Mysteries of x1 Oscilloscope Probes Revealed"

Well, I watched that video you mentioned plus another two, one put out
by Tektronix. I now understand WAY better what's going on. Thanks for
the link and suggestions. I know it shouldn't matter but the EEVblog
guy's voice bugs me. But his explanation was clear. And the pdf you
posted a link to was also very educational.
Thanks,
Eric

Y'er welcome. There's also a mess of magic (and confusion) with high
voltage probes, where the frequency response varies with the applied
voltage. See graph on Pg 1-12:
https://download.tek.com/manual/070822305.pdf

Also active probes that work at GHz frequencies with input loading
around 1M and 1pf. You can really get spoiled with those working
around RF.

I have the same problem with Dave Jones of EEVblog. Recently, he's
made an attempt to shorten his videos and clean up his presentation,
but it's still difficult viewing. Here's a clue:

Methinks a script and an editor might help.
