Camera Review....

[Lil Foot]

Bought one of these after some of you pointed out the $15.50 flash sale on Amazing.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091L6L1GV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I have owned (3) cameras like this and used a couple more at work.
This is, by several orders of magnitude, the best inspection camera I've ever used.
Spent the morning using it on my latest motorcycle restoration, and the resolution, lighting, focal length, small diameter, the side view lens, and color were just amazing!

I only have two complaints/comments-
1) I wish the body of the camera was heavier or had a clamp on it; with the cable in one hand, and a tool in the other, the camera body kept getting dragged around, usually at the most inopportune times. (needed a 3rd hand)
2) I wish I had bought a second one for my place in the high country.

Thanks Guys!

I just looked at several Phone mounts, they all run more than what we got the camera for:
But I think I found one to solve this problem.

How easy is it to direct the end of cable? I could use something like this to inspect the inside hull of my boat given the long cable, but I wonder if the cable is rigid enough to be somewhat guidable on a long run in a large cavity such as under the deck of the boat.

Tape it onto a wire snake/pull to go where you want to see in a hull.

I found the cable to be rigid enough to guide it for the length of about 12 inches or so, but flexible enough to manipulate the camera to view what I needed to. I did not use it further than the 12 inches that I needed, so I cannot comment on how it would perform on longer length runs. I hope that helps a little.

FWIW, I have been using this for several years:

It works with any Android phone. The phone powers the scope, and you can take pictures or record video of what you are viewing. You can also manipulate (zoom and etc.) the image on your phone. It is forward facing with its own adjustable light; all on a flexible but not too weak metal cable.

All for $40 from Klein Tools.

I'm a fan of Klein Tools so one of those could be in my future.

Added in edit: Thanks @Elliott in GA for that link. I ordered one and it's going to be very useful on some upcoming boat projects.

I didn't want to be fumbling around with my $1500 phone anywhere near anything wet or greasy / oily so I could drop it.
That why the all in one was such a great deal.
And yes the camera cable is stiff enough to do what you need to do with it.

But I have seven or possibly eight magnetic bases for my phone so that wouldn't be a problem for me. I'd like to have something like this to check out various parts of the boat that I can't access or even see, so my phone won't be in any real danger, unless I'm out on the lake at the time.

I do like Klein Tools though and I'm kind of brand loyal when a company makes good products, or products I perceive to be good. I feel the same way about OTC and TEKTON based on buying and using a lot of their products.

I have done this at work,& it worked well, but so far I have only needed about 12", like armylifer.

This is the last one I bought and it has served me well. If I were to buy another one it would have the articulating head, 5mm as any larger will not get into tight spaces and preferably wireless. Having your phone fixed somewhere so you can view it while manipulating the camera is a no brainer.

I bought one of @Lil Foot recommended camera/scope after seeing the review.

I have a bluetooth camera that I used a couple years ago. For the life of me I couldn't make it work with my new cell phone a couple weeks ago....

Well, I'm not due for one until 60. That comes in a few more months. I can let you know then or if there is someone else on here that wants to carry that torch...carry on and knock your socks off.
