Cheap USB boroscope for laptop?

[Jacobson]

Anyone have one? I'll may never actually use it. But, I figured I'd buy one.

Something like this for $10 worth it?

You prefer USB for laptop?
or a jack for your smartphone?

I've got a 25' one for my laptop. Works pretty well, I've used it for all sorts of random stuff (plumbing and industrial piping stuff) and it's held up well enough for the few dollars I paid for it.

640x480 resolution sux, but for $10.99...
IP66 is water resistant, not waterproof.
Fits a 18 mm spark plug hole but not anything smaller.
Is a 90° mirror available?

I'll buy when a bluetooth version comes out that will display on my phone. I want portability, a good display and the ability to record. All that already exists on my phone and bluetooth video transmitters already exist that cost less than the cheapest handheld 'scopes, so why not?

Not bad, 720P, IP67, and 8.2 mm dia.
I don't think I would do my own endoscopy, but for internal engine inspections it would be great.

I have one and it is useful to take a picture and prove the failure to a customer before tearing an engine down for repair.

For $22, I might as spring for a better one.

This has 720p resolution.

$5 adapter to connect boroscope directly to my Android phone/tablet, instead of a USB laptop.

I just got one of these for my dad for his birthday.

plugged it in then the plug just fell apart. The button for the screenshot function had to long of a nub on the back which kept the button always pushed and helped to push case open. I used a razor blade to trim off less than 1/16" of the nub. Then I added a couple drops super glue to the case and it is as good as new should have been.

Other than it falling apart I think it's worth the money if you have a use for it.

I got the 30ft ones, supposedly 720P , read the fine print, it's actually just 648x480 default that 720P is enhanced or something mode. Was using it to inspect my chimney, worked ok Not a crispy HD pic as you would see in CSI or some movies...needed to duct tape it to a long pole. Definitely not something for Commercial use. The cables are just flexible regular cables but not rigid , they will not hold or stay at a bend like those flex goose neck things.


Btw ALL them Ebay/Amazon ones looked the same, with a few differences of some cheap branding. and Number of LEDs on the camera.

But for the price, cheap solution for 1 or two uses for me.
