Now I had to get one too. I don't hate you but you did cause me to spend money, so there's that.
Same here. Already have a Ridgid that was a lot more expensive than that, but the 4 foot cable has often been a limiting factor.

I saw that there are 482 ratings with a 4.6 average on Amazon. That many people cannot be wrong!
Ha! Probably 480 bots!
Or they deleted all the negative ones ..
Even if they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, I'll not buy from amazon ... I've survived for nearly 60 years without out one, guess I'll suffer on ...
Owning several borescopes I'm guessing the ad picture is fake. Generally the sensor image is digitally up-scaled internally so the manufacturer can use outdated low-resolution sensors (320 x 200 is common) yet claim higher resolution. Software is cheap, quality hardware is not.
Lens focus distance is often very tight due to using a very simple lens configuration, no anti-refraction coatings, and inexpensive lens(es). The fish-eye effect is also common due to using tiny CCDs and small lenses, maybe that's corrected for in software (at the expense of edge resolution).
Anyway, the price is back up to $40, maybe it'll drop again on Black Friday. Try it on your sink drain or heat vent and see how it goes.
