Inspection camera / endoscope

[ems1]

I'm thinking of buying an inspection camera to check inside the chassis of the Manta, etc. I've got a maximum budget of £100.
Does anyone on here have any recommendations?

Thanks

The one Rallydesign stocks will do everything you need for about £50.

You can get ones that link to your phone off ebay or amazon for less than £20 .

Aldi or Lidl usually do them, I got one from there. It's saved loads of hassle over various jobs.

I have a Bosch Universal Inspect. It accepts SD cards and the camera head diameter is only 8mm (cheaper ones are usually larger)

I have an Aldi one I bought years ago but the camera head is getting a bit shot now, the picture is curse word. I bought a chicom one off ebay which uses blue tooth to my phone but it's useless,the camera turns on but nothing else happened. it cost $28 roughly 14 quid. i suspect the phone app also started helping itself to my phone data as emails etc suddenly went weird until I deleted the app....Charming!.

I bought a cheapo one off ebay [think it was less than £10], I just wanted it to do one job, its rubbish using a phone, not bad with a 10" tablet, but far, far better with a laptop.

I have got one of these: www.amazon.co.uk/Inspection-Waterproof-Borerscope-Megapixels-iPhone%EF%BC%8CIOS/dp/B07T58PJFY
It gives a good picture over WiFi on my Samsung Galaxy S8+, and will work over the network or via USB on a pc or laptop.The camera is small enough to fit through a spark plug hole. It was about £30.00 a year ago. As Amazon show it as unavailable, it or similar might be available elsewhere.

I borrowed one from a friend. It had a built in screen and it was great. I used it to locate some bolts on the back of an engine which were obscured by the bulkhead.

I then bought my own one rather than borrowing my friends one again. I went cheap and paid about £10 from amazon for one which I could bluetooth to the iPad. It does the job but you have to be pretty close to what you’re trying to find, which isn’t a problem I suppose for inspecting bores or something in a confined area it would be fine, it’s just a bit of a PITA if you’re trying to use it to locate something.

Got a phone one, works great. i also use a proper expensive professional jobbie for looking inside robots at work but i don't think its much better. Buy one for £10 and see how you get on. If it doesnt work you've not lost much!
