This review evaluates the “360° 4-Way 4.3-inch Articulating Fiber Optic Borescope Camera with Light (3.3FT Flexible Cable)” made by Kentfaith.

The product was shipped with no excessive or wasteful packaging and all components were contained snugly in a form-fitted molded plastic case. What’s in the box: one (1) 4.3in HD Borescope inspection camera head, (1) one 3.3 ft endoscope camera cable, (1) USB-C to USB-A data cable, (1) one removable 32GB micro SD card (installed in the unit), magnet, (1) one microfiber lens cloth, (1) one form-fitted blow molded plastic case, and an owner’s manual.

First impressions: Wow, I’m thoroughly impressed. Upon opening the box I immediately saw that it came in a decent, plastic form-fitted case! I will say that this impressed me right off the jump. My biggest pet peeve is getting a tool kit that has multiple pieces and it is sold with either no case or a flimsy one. I hate trying to adapt some toolbox or Tupperware to suit my needs. I WILL ALWAYS PAY EXTRA FOR SUCH A CASE! It is so nice to pull out a complete kit to “go into battle” and get a breakdown fixed.

This diagnostic unit is light commercial/industrial grade; well-built with a large 4.3" HD colour IPS screen and a 3.3-foot-long fiber optic ¼” endoscope camera. Right out of the box, the unit feels quality-made, indicative of a professional tool. The unit is powered by two removable rechargeable lithium-ion batteries totaling 5,200mAh giving the user up to 6 hours of runtime. The batteries are rechargeable via a 5V/1.2A or greater USB-A charging block (not included). The USB-C charging port and ON/OFF button are located on the right-hand side of the screen bezel The micro-SD port is located on the left-hand side of the screen bezel. The camera head is attached to an IP67 water resistant 3.3 foot long, fiber optic armored cable with a 0.244” diameter 6 LED illuminated 1.0MP FHD camera head. This endoscope head can be submerged in liquids within operating temperatures of 22°F-118°F and has adjustable brightness and the ability to view 360 degrees. It takes crystal clear 1.0MP pictures and 1080p video @ 30fps. The configuration/layout of this unit is very intuitive and not overly complicated. My only complaint is that the handgrip has no texture or non-slip grip; if you have wet or oily hands/gloves, this could be an issue!
