Endoscope
« on: July 28 2018, 11:09:43 AM »
About a year ago, I bought an endoscope to use with my phone..it is an Depstech if you want to tell me how much better yours is  :068:

It works great and the only downside is that I have a usb-c port on my phone so it needs an adapter to plug in.  Very handy to see where I cannot see.

Recently, I could not find the adapter which chapped me off.  I bought another one..same brand...that works off wifi.  Now, this thing is great.  I can plug it into my battery storage pack for power, prop the phone up wherever I want and concentrate on aiming the probe.  I used it yesterday to look thru the valve cover bolt holes to be sure, I had the cover lined up right.

Eliminating the cable to the camera makes it much easier to take a pic or movies without losing aim of the probe.

I bet Earl has a bunch of these things for examining various orifices

Yeah, I found the adapter about 30 minutes after ordering a new one...of course, but, they are cheap and I like the new one

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I need a new Endoscope that has a smaller "head" than what I currently have now. Between my Milwaukee scope, and this other wireless one, the camera on it has about a 1.5-2" solid stiff piece on it before it starts to be flexible.


I need something that has a smaller camera end on it, so that I can go around tighter turns and bends.


Is this the scope you're using currently?  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077XWJP2T/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B0785H3XR7&pd_rd_wg=0sjwG&pd_rd_r=VD55PZMV4BBHC754GRW5&pd_rd_w=Yc44z&th=1

The one Tyler linked is the one I would buy today.  bigger battery and longer focal length.  I had not used mine for awhile so I plugged it into my back up pack...used that and charged the onboard battery
