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.

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.

This endoscope is actually not comparable to the usual devices. The most obvious and biggest difference to other (cheaper) endoscopes is the moveable camera (see video). If you actually want to look into a more complex cavity, that's just absolutely brilliant, no comparison to normal devices. I've been doing everything on my car myself for years, now I've come to the point that I can't get any further with my normal endoscope camera. It's incredibly helpful, especially when examining the cylinders. I haven't really noticed anything negative about the camera, everything is exactly as described on the product page: - Large and really good display - Semi-rigid camera cable - 1 meter cable length (so far has always been sufficient) - Reputable manufacturer - SD card included - Charging via USB-C - multilingual menu - very bright LED lighting - temperature sensor at the top - not dependent on mobile phones or apps thanks to the internal display - good camera A big extra that is not mentioned in the description: the device has WLAN. It is super easy to connect your smartphone wirelessly (the app for the iPhone is called "AllScope"). The functions include, among other things, a live image transmission and that recordings can be viewed and saved directly on the cell phone without a PC (see screenshot).

Since the time I tinker with my cars... I ended up buying an endoscope...
This model is perfect, I preferred the model: 10M for 12€ difference, it's better...
I wanted those Check the xenon headlight wiring and fasteners on my Cadillac. I did it without any worries.
All I had to do was slide the semi-rigid camera hose/cable down the guts of the tubes and cables and found everything was fine.
I had to know how to disassemble it... so I also realized that it was necessary to remove the bumper... In
short, perfect quality, equipment certainly ok for professionals, garage owners and others... And above all no need for Android applications.
I had bought another brand with vision only on the phone... well I never managed to get it to work.
I returned it the same day and bought this one
Very happy with my purchase, will serve me especially for the car...

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

The product corresponds to the description and is also easy to handle.
I inserted it twice in a sewer pipe, the picture quality is good.

very good device with a high quality camera. Other devices of this quality like to cost 2-3 times as much. A possibility to extend the cable would be good. Battery lasts long too. I'm very satisfied.
