DEPSTECH 210° Two-Way Articulating Borescope, 0.24in Ultra-Slim Endoscope Camera with Lights, 4.5” IPS Screen, 5ft Waterproof Flexible Snake Tube, Industrial Inspection Camera for Automotive Mechanics

I'm very happy with this. I'd bought a unit from another manufacturer years ago and it no longer worked when I needed to use it. So I bought this as a replacement. It's been perfect so far, and it actually has more funtions than the other unit had. I think it's a great value for the money.

I have a few things I need to do following a new construction project where I need to see into very tight or awkward places with precision.In this case I needed to fish a wire from inside a linear fireplace through a hole that I can't see in a place that I could barely fit my arm and then go up a wall into another box.This allowed me to see what I was doing just enough that I was able to achieve it which was critical.The picture quality was excellent.As long as the camera isn't right up against the 2x4 and shining a light the lighting is great cuz it is a bright light but if you press the tip all the way into a flat surface of course with or without that light you're just going to be looking at a piece of a wall so while I know there's some complaints about the brightness of the light I don't think it impacted my work where it mattered and I haven't checked but if it doesn't support turning light down that would be a nice feature but it wasn't a deal breaker at all.House like that it's a very small camera compared to the other ones not much smaller but you know enough that it still makes a difference I need to find a bathtub drain in a ceiling so that I can open up the ceiling and put a mechanical vent in there.While I roughly know where it's at this will help me locate it precisely with just a quarter inch hole in drywall which is easily patched and then I can make a precision cut in a ceiling to put the vent where it's going to need to go without having to have multiple cuts which would require multiple patches so endless use cases you find yourself trying to work in places where you can't see what's in or behind something.

I used this camera to look inside of my roof eave to help determine where to drill a 3/4” hole through a 2x4 inside my roof eve that had no visibility from my attic. I also used it to then figure out how to feed my Poe network wire through this hole to another hole created in my attic. Maneuvering the camera to do this took quite a bit of time to get used to, but I don’t think I could have completed this project as easily or at all without this tool. I learned a lot about my attic and roof in the process by actually being able to see inside these covered spaces. I’d highly recommend this tool for the price if you’re doing similar work. Seems priced appropriately for what it is.

I am using this around my house so I need to see things sharply an inch or two away (in a wall) AND two or three feet away (attic or crawl space) this model does the up close part very nicely but anything beyond a foot away quickly becomes blurry. It also seems to have issues controlling white balance which creates problems in dark places with white surfaces.I also wonder why they include resolution in the settings menu when you can’t change that setting? There’s really nothing you can change that makes a difference, it’s pretty much locked in to average parameters.On the good side the ability to rotate the viewing screen 180° is invaluable a should be a standard option on all inspection cameras.I also like how the cable exits the hand unit handle, it’s less likely to encounter strain vs exiting out the back and the camera head itself is a very small diameter so access holes can be tiny & easily plugged. The hard ballistic nylon case is very nice and much better than a blow molded plastic case.Honestly what’s needed is for someone to gather a dozen of the most popular models and perform a comprehensive test!This is the third scope I’ve ordered and the best so far but it still falls short of my needs if I am being honest.If all you need is up close observation then this will be a good choice.I purchased this product with my own money and received nothing in return for my review.I’m not associated with this company or any other company.

I've had multiple cameras from this company in the past that have performed well. I just always manage to break them.Decided to spend a bit more money for a nicer camera, glad I pulled the trigger on this one. Works beautifully and the ability to articulate the camera 180° is extremely helpful for engine diag/repair. 👍👍

I work on automobiles mainly as a hobby after retirement. I was a professional automotive technician and manager for 4 decades but I still love repairing vehicles. I purchased this scope for the times where I needed to look inside an engine's cylinder walls and cylinder heads. I have used this several times in the past weeks and for the money, it is excellent. The pictures are very clear and you can zoom in and out. You can take still pictures and review them afterwards. The articulating camera helps you to look at the combustion chamber of the head and the cylinder walls. The battery life seems excellent as I haven't charged it yet from when I took it out of the box. Speaking of box, it has a very nice case that keeps the tool protected. It is easy to use and the dial feature to move the camera head around works well. Since the camera moves side to side, you have to move the "snake" around to get the angle you need but I am getting used to that. Overall, I am very happy with this tool and while there are more expensive versions out there, this one works well for me so far.

Awesome tool for the price. As an automotive technician, it's a vary useful tool that gets used daily.
