Anyone see or use these. They peek my interest as the seem to have longer cables and since the screen is your phone it will be better than most of the bore scopes that come with a screen

This popped up on my Facebook and it has me wondering if it would be better than the ones I see at home depo. I know nothing about this other than it is popping up in my Facebook.

Wireless over WiFi? Neat.

I have one of these with a 5 meter cable and it's alright. The micro USB means I need to use my old phone or my tablet instead of my normal phone though.

Haven't used it much, it was kind of an impulse buy, but it does have it's uses. The light is nice for checking clogged drains or going into dark places, but I have trouble getting it to focus very well.

The mirrors it came with were a nice touch, but too small and I lost them.

I have one of the FLAPS type, with built in (2"?) screen. I also had€ one of the ones you linked. Yes, the picture is better on a phone, but what they're showing on the website is BS. It's not that good. Another plus for it is that they're cheaper than FLAPS cameras. They're cheap enough to have one.

€ It was advertised as being waterproof. I have a fish tank, and was missing a fish, so I thought, "What the hell, let's see if I can find it with this. " As soon as the camera head got in the water, it E36 M3 the bed.

I have a wired version. The resolution and quality are a bit low but useable for most things. The mirror was not that useful in low light (cylinder head). There are gobs of them on eBay and I think I payed $10 for mine.

I would suggest one. You probably won't use it much, but it will be nice to have when you need it.

We bought two different ones to look inside hoses at welds.

Cheap - works okay. Not great but it helps us see inside.
