WiFi Borescope...do eet!

[Busta Rib]

I recently added a WiFi borescope to my toolbox and it has really come in handy. You can find them on Ebay or Amazon for about $25-35 and it will work with most iPhones and Android smartphones. It is well worth the price for laying eyeballs on hard-to-reach areas. I don't know what took me so long to discover this device. If you don't already have one, pick one up and have fun.

That is simply brilliant.

It won't work on my android. Not compatible. I wasted my money.

What phone and version of Android are you running?

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for pointing out. I had only seen the ones with a built-in screen before, Mine works great with both iphone 6, and iPad Air2.

Great... I can skip my next colonoscopy.

I just bought this one for several projects as it came highly recommended on a plane forum:

The thing a like about it is the ability to turn the camera back towards you. I just used to it run wiring in a wall at my nephew's place. It as great to see what was behind the wall before cutting in.

It hooked it up to my Android phone and I downloaded camerafi. Worked like a charm. Snap stills or video - easy. Adjustable LED lighting at the end.

Which one did you get? The two I've used have trouble focusing at close distances, and that's...a bummer.

Make sure you get one with a stiff or stiffish cable. Floppy cables make these things nearly impossible to snake through cars.

With the rate at which cable connectors change (at least for iPhones), I'd go with a wifi or bluetooth one...

I bought the Depstech one.

[Trakrat]

what is the diameter of the scope? (how small is it?)

[SpyderMike]

the one I bought is 8.5mm diameter.

For those using Android, just plug the USB cable directly into the phone. You don't actually require the wifi module as needed with IPhone.
