Wanting to microdose, wondering what measuring device others use

I'm wanting to start microdosing mushrooms and I am wondering what others are using to measure out dosages. I've been looking at electronic weight scales that measure weight at .001 grams and its difficult to decide what one regardless of price fits this need. I'm open to others suggestions to what they use and recommendations if possible.

I get away with .00. I've got a 200g weight for calibration if it drifts out of .02 tolerance.
After a thousand doses or so, it becomes easier to guess how much is scooped into a 00 cap.

I found measuring by weight problematic but after some experimentation I found that if you use a 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon and level the powder without packing it it comes out almost exactly as 0.2gms.
It shouldn't be too hard to find 1/16tsp measure, they're used for measuring dietary supplements. This should save you the hassle of having to weigh it out. Just double check that it's right before you use it regularly.

i just use a cheap (£9 ) small digital scale off amazon , it might not be 100% accurate but lets be honest any small deviation is not going to really make any real difference ( taking 0.4g or 0.45g is going to result in the same effect)

Thanks for the replies, I ended up getting a .000 scale for a decent price with weights, will weigh self filled capsules for a bit till I get the dose right. I'll take small deviations into account and not be concerned to be too precise.

Mg scales even cheap ones should be fine to measure in the 100mg range. It gets more problematic when you need to be precise below 20mg and the substance is extremely active there. But that's not the case with mushrooms.
