Great bit of kit, picture quality superb. Included box a little tight especially with the longer length camera

There's a lot to like about this endoscope. It is easy to understand, has a good sized bright colour screen and comes in a fitted case for convenience. With regard to the case, although the 16.5ft long snake probe came out of it, it has thus far defied my efforts to get it all back in. A small niggle, but I do like things that are easy to pack away. The probe attaches to the lightweight control panel with a secure screw plug, at which point it becomes a different animal, with a mind of its own. Sixteen and a half feet of flexible metal-clad tube can be a challenge to wrangle, and I found the tail wagging the dog at times. This is in the nature of the thing, and not a criticism. You just need to work methodically.I used the endoscope to inspect the engine bores of an old car that has been standing for some 35 years. Inserting the camera end of the probe through the spark plug holes was easy. The snake is rigid enough to support itself for a couple of feet horizontally. The pictures are clear and well-illuminated. At such close quarters, it is not possible to see the whole combustion chamber, but the two side cameras give alternative viewpoints. You can change camera using a conveniently placed switch at the base of the probe. You can take a photograph at any point by pressing the OK button. Examples are shown above (the cylinder heads and valves are badly in need of de-coking, but the bores are not rusty). The settings screen hints at other resolutions, but only one is listed. This is sufficient to display brilliantly on the screen. I found that trying to zoom in on the PC later yielded no more detail. You can also record video and add commentary if wanted. There is s Micro SD card slot under a rubber cover, together with a micro USB socket for charging and connecting to PC etc. The handset has a well-designed grip, and a built-in light. The multilingual instructions are quite good.I am not blase about the possibilities that this device opens up. I was taught to use a slide-rule at school, before pocket calculators came along. I still think they are a miracle. With this amazing device on your shelf, you will be ready for any internal investigation, and the next time someone loses a ring down the drain, pop on the hook or magnet attachment and there's a chance you might save the day.

On first sight you might look at the price and think “how much???” But this is one of those products has the build quality and performance to back up the price. It comes in a protective plastic case with instructions, cable and two tips, a magnet and a hook. The tips are not the usual slip on style. These are threaded allowing you to screw them on nice and secure. The body is set up for right hand use with the rear bulging out to aid grip. In use it’s very comfortable to hold. The screen is clear and sharp giving a wide field of view and has a smart feature of an LED on the side of the main body that can be turned on/off independently of the camera system. The supplied memory card has no branding on it but works fine sitting behind a rubber cover with the usb connection and can be removed by pressing in (images can be transferred by the usb cable as well as taking out the card). The camera body is stiff to allow guiding and the whole unit feels solid built and quality throughout. The menu structure and operation is easy enough with the three views from the three cameras selected by the button on the borescope connection. The image can be frozen on screen (handy for close study without having to store images and recall them) and released or stored for later. Pictures can be taken as and when being stored in the background so not to interfere with your inspection. You can alsoTake a video with or without sound (mic in handset so records your commentary) you can only see/record from one camera lens at a time. All three cameras have illumination that can be adjusted. Focus is clear and very good image closeup. The only niggle is that you can only rotate the image 180deg this rotates the complete screen, overlay and all. Strange as the cheapest inspection cameras allow you to rotate the image 90deg at a time and mirror the image. This is something that could easily be fixed with a firmware update and make this a very formidable product.All in all this is a very good quality product with great image capabilities and exceptional build. Update the firmware to allow flipping the image and mirroring the image and this would be worth the money. As it is I feel it’s more a £200 product given the three quality cameras
