Borescope Inspection Camera with 4.3" 1080P HD Screen, Kentfaith 8mm Snake Camera with LED Lights, 10m Semi-Rigid Cable for Auto, Engine, Drain Inspection

Got this to find a wiring problem in our house. Rigidity of the cable was up to the task of pushing it through insulation in the wall. Camera image was great, plenty bright and large enough. Wouldn’t mind a shorter focus point but it is as advertised which worked for our needs thus far. Also used it to find a clog in a drain and used the magnet to remove a piece of metal that was causing the problem.
This one will get the job done!

Good picture quality and does the job

I'd previously bought an endoscope that used wifi to connect to my phone screen using a custom app from the manufacturer, but found that they hadn't updated the app to layer versions of Android, so it's now unusable.

This device has its own screen, so no such concerns. The picture was better than I was expecting, and I was able to submerge the camera in a water tank to discover why a pump was no longer working. This saved me a callout fee for a plumber to come and diagnose the problem, so it has already paid for itself.

It feels like the right sort of price point to pay for a tool that I will only use occasionally. There are some extra little gadgets that clip on to the end of the camera e.g. a hook, a small magnet and a mirror.

There is no pouch to contain the items, but I will just keep it in the box that it came in - it all packs away neatly enough.

Great product can be fit to glow plug and injector holes.

I was quite surprised at the image quality of this device at optimum focal distances, which is aided by a big screen (compared to most others).
I did look at the traditional design offerings (the ‘pistol grip’ type) as a couple of friends have them, but the resolution, illumination and a screen about a third of the size of this unit’s screen didn’t leave me particularly impressed.
There’s little point in describing the unit and it’s functions are these are adequately (and accurately) described in the sellers information.
In use, this does need some practice in terms of ‘wiggling and turning’ the probe, both to get it to where you want it, and to interpret what you are seeing which may at that point be ‘rotated’ from the ‘horizontal’ you have in your head. Once mastered, it can return an astonishingly detailed picture at optimal focal length (I’d say about 2 - 4 cm). Outside of that distance (as a pre-focused camera, it will actually see as far as you want it to), the image is less crisp, but still good.
I bought this to try to track down the cause of water leaking into the boot of my car which was leaving wet carpets. I was able to feed the probe up a box section in the boot area while leaving a hose running down the car’s roof. I was able to see where the water was coming in (very satisfying), which saved me any amount of stripping -out and trim removal. It was worth its price for this alone, although I couldn’t help reflecting on many, previous situations in house and car where I wish I’d had this at my disposal. Similarly, I’m anticipating this being very useful for similar situations in the future, especially as I’m not as young as I once was and tight ‘contortionist’ spots are getting more difficult as time goes by.
The last thing to comment about is the price. Some of the ‘professional’ units like this can cost three/four/five (or more) times the cost of this one. They might be more rugged for industrial use, but for DIY use this is perfectly OK.
All-in-all I’m very pleased (and impressed) with this device.

Works very well.
Good picture.
Instant response to movement. (no wifi lag)
Screen is good, and pictures can be saved to the card for transfer.

Great value- great device. But would like bigger better instructions including how to replay images.

I got this to help with my arcade machine repairs, it really is very useful in getting a look at hard to reach places and getting close to components that will electrocute you if you touch the wrong thing. The LED lights on the end mean it illuminates darkened areas which is also very helpful.

If I had to make one criticism it’s that the default device orientation means the picture is mirrored, so you think you need to move the probe up when actually down was the correct direction. This can be changed in the options screen, but it doesn’t remember this when you switch it off.

Other than that, this is very useful if you’re working in cramped spaces and need to be able to look around corners.

Camera so small it can fit in oil passageways in a crankshaft. Best to run the led at minimum power as it gets hot after a while. Even came with an sd card. Much better than the phone based ones. Picture is OK, not amazing quality but given the size of the camera it is.

I got this for 2 reasons. 1 to look for insulation in my walls around my home.

And

2. For work, being a mechanical engineer this is a must have tool for checking for dampers that are shut. Drill a hole in the side then poke it in.

Awesome piece of gear
