cheaper inspection camera

Post by Lorna c »

this can work as an endoscope or microscope up to 1000× magnification with wifi to your phones screen . I'm still waiting for mine but I'll show it when it comes in .. I looked at harbor freight s, and although cheaper than others , it was not practical for me to get yet . then I saw this online and jumped on it .. tbc when it comes in .

I could use it for projects, Especially soldering small parts. Let me know how it works? Good or Bad?

A good endoscope are the cameras that plug into a smart phone.
I like plugging them into my tablet as I can see much better on the big screen. They are not perfect but they are pretty good for looking into your carbs and also the cylinder walls.

An endoscope is a scope that you can thread into something on a cable - this is a neat inspection camera, but not an endoscope.
