Bore-o-Scope!

[Ulu]

I never imagined this!

 

With a mask and a white coat and $24 I can set up my own traveling endoscopy business!

 

Seriously guys, do any of you own a cheap usb/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth type boroscope and what is it?

 

I have a Galaxy S6+ that that I could dedicate to this device if it was worth buying.

 

I could also buy one that works with the iPhone pro.

 

And I have no clue if these things are worth a damn.

I have one that I couldn't get to work with my phone. However hooked it up to a cheap Chromebook and it has saved me twice now. Once on my 07 minivan when I dropped a bolt inside the sliding door and once when adding an outlet to the house I used it in the wall to see why the Romex was getting stuck

I bet they'd be good to use if you wanted to sort out whether or not your valves were stuck without pulling the head.

And check for carbon build up on the pistons.

Have a usb one, it comes in handy from time to time. Pulled injectors on a chevy 3.8, the o rings popped off a few. Came in handy then. I use my laptop for display. I also have a flir camera for ios, it works well too.

Ok, sure, yeah...

But wtf is the picture on the phone in the ad? A metal ball? inside a....fleshy tube??

Turn the picture Counter clockwise 90°

I have a USB-Scope,it is 5m long,I use it with my laptop.And I have a microscope 50x-500x that I also use with my laptop.The pic is from my hairy face!

Only 1 grey hair on that patch!!

And I have my ear scraper cam that I use with my phone,but I cut of the scrape thing.Really good pic/film quality.The diameter is only 4mm (5/32) so it is really handy when

you cleaning/checking carbs or guns.

We used to use borescopes to inspect the gearboxes on wind turbines.  I actually got pretty good at positioning the scope to inspect the bo.  Pretty sure I don;t want to put that scope in my ear, lol.

I have a 12 dollar model from banggood and I view it on an old laptop it can be very helpful in a pinch. I`am thinking about this one they now have available for about 36 bucks.

i'm going to need a new scope.  This one got crushed when I lowered the lift with the P15 on it.  Needed a better one anyway.  Better a cheap tool than a finger.

Spotted this on amazon for 45 bucks so I took a shot and just ordered it.

The scope from amazon arrived yesterday and was charged last night, I just tried it out and could not be happier with this scope. It is not a piece of inferior junk that you would expect to get for less than fifty bucks. The images it produces are of amazing quality and the viewing screen is a very nice size. All in all it is a home run with me as the latest addition to my collection of tools and I can highly recommend it.
