Unfortunately, amplitude is quite something that matters. According to
my simulations, the loading of the mentioned probe should be ok, it
really only the problem of securely attaching it for doing the
measurements. It is not a single-shot thing, I'll need to take hundreds
of waveforms without readjusting the probe, so manually holding it on or
somewhere near the testpoint is not really an option.
