50FT Endoscope Camera with Light, Oiiwak Snake Borescope Endoscope Inspection Camera for Pipe Sewer Drain Plumbing Inspection 1080P HD 4.3" IPS Screen Waterproof IP67

I own a 30 foot sailboat with Yanmar 2GM20F engine. I can not tell you how many tight spaces there are on the boat and in and on the engine. I can estimate though and it is somewhere between 900,000 and one million. If you drop a screw on my boat there is a 50/50 chance you will never see it again...until now. I have done testing at home and I am pretty stoked to go down to my boat and start finding that treasure trove of hardware I have lost over the years.On a serious note, this device is going to be a Godsend for troubleshooting and identifying issues aboard the boat. Given the camera is waterproof, I may be able to use it under the boat as well. Will try that after I absolutely assure waterproofness.Couple of initial recommendations for Mfg1. A small carrying case should be offered as an option. Does not have to be included necessarily but I certainly would like to have a small rugged case for this device. My guess is it will not take kindly to being bashed around in storage. I would be happy to pay a little extra for such a case.2. I noted, as others have, that I have to push the usb camera connector in and out a time or two to get a connection between camera and device. Not hard to deal with but quite concerning when you first receive the unit and you get the "no signal" message upon activation. Mfg. should get to the bottom of this and address. It can not be a complex tech issue to resolve.3. A couple of small accessories, a hook and a magnetic head? are included. Might be a good idea to mention them briefly in the docs so people understand what they are and how they are used. It wasn't too difficult to figure out but it would be really easy to mention them in the manual.4. might be useful to consider a small swing out stand attached to the back so a user can set this up on a surface with the screen in a vertical orientation.Edit 04/08/2021Unit still working great but I have found the USB plug will go in backwards which leads to no signal warning. If you can not get past no signal be sure you have the usb plugged in correctly. There is a small, hard to see, arrow on the connector which lines up with a corresponding arrow on the display unit. Manufacturer, make that arrow more visible or key the plug so it can only go in one way!!Otherwise this unit has saved my butt more than once when I dropped nuts or screws into the engine compartment guts. It has also come in handy wen troubleshooting problems in tight spots elsewhere on the boat. The biggest problem I have is remembering that this thing is aboard and available to help. I will futz around for 30 minutes and then ask myself "why aren't you using the dang scope?" Pull it out and voila, problem identified in five minutes.I have purchased a small waterproof plastic box (avail on Amz) to store the display unit and camera+cable. This works great but I still wish the mfg offered a protective case.I also always recharge to full after every use so it is ready to go with full charge for the next spelunking adventure.Overall continue to be extremely satisfied with this purchase and value for money.

I almost returned this when it was in the order process stage. I wasn't sure on my choice. There are so many choices and reviews... I am not the electronic techno wizard but I needed to see behind a couple walls and places and this did it!*** Here's a TIP: .... on what I had to do.People complain that most of the lengths on any of these things are uncontrollable. That's true...they have even gone so far to say "useless", I agree! But there's a tip to help.If you apply my Tip, or similar, possibly it can help in "some applications" I put my endoscope camera line inside a cheap -plastics noodle a couple of them ..... and (tape it well or the noodle can get lost behind the wall)! You can even try to put the scope inside plastic tubing to give is some rigidity to guide with some hassle ....(@$%$& or possibly tape it an electricians fiberglass wire guide to get it to the spot need.The noodle worked for me on a couple occasions, its not the total solution but will work in some applications.The Endoscope cameras screen and and variable lighting - bright to dim worked for me.I didn't need something overly complicated or super expensive scope. I needed a screen to see........ and this did the trick.I put some labels (photo attached) on the hand held camera to assist. I dont use it much. I left the cellophane protective cover on the scope camera and I could still see fine.Good luck !!

I have been wanting to purchase a scope for a long time for household repairs and for fun looking into places I normally could not see.Many of these scopes I saw online used a tablet or your phone as the display. While these devices have excellent screens, I did not like the idea of using my expensive device and (as much as I hate to admit it) crucial part of my daily life when working on potentially icky places. This scope comes with a base module, so I do not have to use my phone while snaking out a drain. The screen is not as ultra hires as an iPhone’s oled screen, but is plenty crisp for looking down a drain or vent.The camera records clear and bright video and pictures. Being new to using such a device, the long 5 meter cable takes a little getting used to while working it down my shower drain. I was able to see the icky stuff that was blocking my water from draining. After sneaking out the drain, I also able to confirm that we are all clear.The onboard rechargeable battery life works well. On the first charge, I was able to look down several hvac vents and household drains. I left the camera on as I snaked out the shower drain. After, a couple hours of use the unit is still alive with one bar of battery showing on the meter.The light around the camera is adjustable via a dial on he side of the display. The interface is very simple with only four buttons. One button for photo, video, plackback and back button.The device was easy enough to figure out how to use it, but wouldn’t benefit from better documentation.My only concern is keeping the lens from scratching. It would be nice to have some kind of lens protector on the end of the camera lead. The lens seems tough though as I do lot see any scratches after going down several drains and vents.
