Thanks for the suggestion jcw, I ordered some INA139NA current sense amplifiers that were also surface mount and cheaper than the LT1495 but man were they small! I need to get myself some better soldering equipment to work with them, but yea certainly a good way to go if you dont mind soldering surface mount ic's. Once I get myself some better soldering equipment I will have another go and look at the MAX4392 thanks again for the suggestion :)
