I have a few Borescopes that come with their own screen. The one I'm reviewing here is the Kentfaith 360 deg articulating borescope with 3.3' long flexible cable. The cable is short, so keep that in mind. It really depends upon your purpose. It also is flexible, so don't expect to 'push' it unless you are in a constrained item like a pipe or a drain. Note that Kentfaith does also have a unit with a semi-flexible cable at twice the length, same cost. There are units available with much longer cables and/or stiffer cables (if that is what you need) and for lower cost if you choose to use your phone (with an app) as the screen. Personally, I prefer units that come with their own screen, even though one might argue that it is redundant.

The unit charges via a USB-C cable. The IPS screen is very clear and with good colours. The controls are pretty straight forward. The on/off button is on the side (long press). There are 4 buttons below the screen with dual functions. I like that the screen shows you the button functions at the bottom appropriate to the screen that you are on. There is a button on the handle that cycles thru 3 levels of light on the cable tip. The final control is the joystick that angles the camera tip. Just use your thumb and you can angle the camera. Rotate the cable (by rotating the handle/screen and you can see 360 deg. Use the joystick to go from looking straight ahead (0 deg) to full backwards (180 deg) and essentially one can look at all points surrounding the camera in 3 dimensions.

The cable is quite thin (6.2 mm or just shy of 1/4"), including the camera tip. This borescope will get into some areas that others would not. One can snap pictures or take video which is saved on the included 32 GB micro SD card. The menu is straight forward, allowing one to change settings (eg Language, Units, Date/Time, auto off, resolution, brightness, etc). A hard case is included with a cutout foam liner to securely hold the unit. Note that the screen does detach from the handle (threaded collar) for storage and easier charging.

If your borescope needs are met with a 1 m short flexible cable with full articulation, then the Kentfaith is certainly worth considering. Note that they have a similar model with a 2 m longer semi-flexible cable as well.
