Endoscope/borescope options ???
« on: July 30, 2018, 10:42:44 PM »
I'm considering a endoscope/bore-scope to run off my smartphone.
My initial need is to be able to inspect voids on my sailboat to help determine if I need to make permanent access plates.
I'm seeing several options of Amazon at reasonable prices but I've just begun my research.

What's the consensus on the things these days?

Don't expect the cheap ones to last.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

I bought a cheap one and tried it, I like it. I need a steerable one that does better with a 90 mirror. No idea how to pick one brand over the other.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Picked up.a WiFi unit off Amazon. It is easy to set up and connect to my Galaxy S6 but other than a basic function check and running it down the barrel of a .50 cal I haven't used it for my I tended purpose yet. I'll post a review after actual real work use.
