Title: Usb inspection camera
Post by: tidla on 21 February 2015, 19:35:52
Anybody got one?

Look handy for tight engine bay jobs. Egay choice as confusing as hell when it comes to half decent quality.

Handy for a DIY colonoscopy!  :o  :D  ;D

Seriously though, those are at good prices, as I've not seen them for much under £100 before!  :y

Iirc, Aldi did one with a small screen which sold for less then 50 quid and was good at searching for objects which get lost inside v6 cylinder heads while the plenums off because some cock didn't put enough poly bags in there  ::) :-[ :-[
Also one which is laptop based which i've been told is pretty good  :y

Well the one's that tidla linked to seem popular.  :)

The first guy has sold 1013 of them generating £11700.15 and the second 660 totalling £19008.  A nice little earner!  :y

I have an Aldi special jobbie. Actually, I've had 2, as I melted one. First was £80, bought 2 or 3 years ago. 2nd is identical, £60 bought about a year ago.

Reasonable quality, LEDs on end for illumination, small enough to fit in a spark plug hole (but no mirror attachment to see up to valves).

I got a couple off ebay, (well 4 actually,) plugged into the laptop means I can use it away from mains power, about £6 iirc each

the other 3? I gave them as xmas pressies to mates, :y
