Even little airplanes cost a lot these days, especially their engines. I wanted to sell my Cessna to an old friend, but because it had been sitting idle for 15 years, I was concerned about hidden rust in the engine that would be very expensive to fix. If the camshaft was rusty, it would require a $40,000 overhaul. All the mechanics sadly shook their heads and said, "Yup; you will undoubtedly need an overhaul."Unfortunately, there's no inexpensive way to inspect the camshaft, EXCEPT with a borescope with a tiny head, like this one. By draining the oil and snaking this scope up past induction pipes and through a very small oil drain slot, then up past the crank and connecting rods, I was able to see and photograph enough of the camshaft to discover that it was actually in very good shape.So, after the FAA-certified mechanic carefully inspected everything else, we started it up and it ran perfectly. It took off from my little grass strip with a mighty roar, climbed like a homesick angel, and flew off to its next adventure in life with my friend. We are delighted with the results of this borescope!

This scope is replacing an older one I have that only has about a two foot camera and is so thick it just makes it into a spark plug hole on an engine. The old one has (had) a detachable small screen that took actual batteries and had pins that ultimately broke on the bottom when you connect it back on the hand held camera part.Why am I going on about the old one? Because this DEPSTECH camera is so much more advanced! All in one unit with a really thin and long camera. The light on it is perfect and I can actually maneuver the camera to see different parts of cylinders or down under engine blocks etc. The display is huge compared to the old one and the detail is much better. I also love that there are no "replaceable" batteries that you need to mess with, you just charge the unit and go on with your task. I don't use this daily but it is great to have ready to go when you need it. I use this for automotive purposes but there are other things you could probably use it for like drain inspection.

Edit: after posting this, depstech reached out and offered a replacement at no charge, so I am happy with their customer service.I have used this on and off for 6 months as an electrician, sticking it in holes in the wall and using it to help fish items. The camera is very nifty, and the price point is good for all you get. Far cheaper than brand name contractor stuff.The camera/screen is plenty good enough for what I do. The light on the end will light up 1-2ft of space in front of the camera, usually sufficient. The cord is a bit flimsy though.On that note, I had a premature failure of the light, it seems the wires pulled apart from the end bit while flexing the cord. So the camera still works, but now it has no light. Depstech has sent me a new unit, hopefully that holds up better.

The camera works great!! But the customer service is even better. The first camera we bought lasted about a year and then we got an odd error message. I reached out to the manufacturer to see how to fix it. They were so helpful and ended up sending a new camera free of charge. Would highly recommend!

Thanks to my need to misplace every tool I own, I wasn't able to find my old cheap endoscope camera that hooks into a cell phone to produce...passable video. This time around, I decided to spend a small amount more for a semi-rigid scope with its own screen (tired of installing/uninstalling apps every time I want to use a simple tool). I'm not using this thing to make money, so I wasn't going to splash out the Snap-On tax. Lots of available options with similar specs, so I picked the one that looked like it would be the most comfortable for me to hold while also being able to fit into some of my tool drawers (it will never, ever be stored in one, because I'm terrible). Also, the brand name was the least word-salady I could find, so bonus points for that.Didn't expect much more than a semi-grainy picture that would tell me how bad the carbon buildup on the piston crown was, and maybe if there was a bunch of scoring on the cylinder walls. What I got was a *very* clear video of the cylinder, and using the included angle mirror, I was able to inspect the valves with ease. The camera end is very skinny, the cable is nicely rigid, and the control body is very easy to hold while pressing buttons all with one hand.If you think you might want or need a borescope, but aren't looking to pay through the nose on pro tools, I highly recommend this one. Easy to use, comfortable, good picture quality, solid value. I can't wait to lose it like all of my other tools!

First camera I purchased - Used once or twice, then the screen would just say "No Signal." After contacting the company, they sent me a replacement at no cost. That is why I am giving this product 3 stars. Support is very helpful. Had to use a flashlight to light up a dark area before I could use this camera.Pros:Good picture quality IF the lighting is great.Easy to use controls and display.Included MicroSD card is a bonus.Cons:If in a low light area, picture quality is basically invisible.Hard to bend the camera wire in a way that helps get to the area you need it to be in.If the lens gets dirt or dust on it, you can no longer see anything until you clean it.

Initially kind of expensive but well worth it. I've used it for all sorts of things...looking under shed at bunnies, looking under the deck for bunnies (we have a bunny problem), looking down a drain for ring, looking down a floor vent to see if there was a blockage, under the very large/heavy sectional sofa for jewelry. The wire is flexible but semi rigid...it will hold. It's not flimsy like a string. Think....sturdy pipe cleaner (if you know what those are). It's great in hard to reach/see places. Charges fairly quick. Can take still photos and videos. Definitely a must have if you are a homeowner.

Este endoscopio tiene un buen precio y una pantalla que tiene una buena resolucion y una camara con un cable suficientemente largo para un motor de gasolina.

I won't lie. Im not sure why i bought this. It's one of those tools that sounds good on paper but ultimately doesnt see any action for me because I've never had a job that really required this tool absolutely. However, over time, this tool has slowly won me over. It's been a very dependable piece of kit in my toolbox. Let me explain. First of all, this unit has never let me down. When you power it on it comes to life. When you need it brighter or dimmer it will do it. This thing has always worked whenever I called upon it without hassle or any difficulty. Just from that along I think it's worth it. Second of all, while the picture quality isn't the best, it has always been able to get me a good enough picture. By that I mean while I won't be generating ultra high definition images from this unit, I have always been able to see what I want to see. Case in point, I once used this to look inside and around components in my cars drivetrain. It was perfectly serviceable for that use. The adjustment in brightness was always enough to help me resolve what i needed to see. Again not high def but it got the job done. Ultimately because of these two factors, I do see myself using it more and more. Gone are the days of "I will disassemble this to look inside". When now I can just stick the boroscope in there. Overall great piece of kit for the price. Not the most premium option but its definitely serviceable as a tool.

Very easy to use to access a very restricted area in the foundations of the house, easy to record playback and take photos. I'm sure this will be used for a variety of jobs, very pleased with the picture quality. Difficult to direct initially but this was due to our poor technique rather than the unit itself, soon got the hang of it. Good product for the price
