USB Borescope

#1 Post by ADOR »

Has anyone here bought or used one like this? I am looking at getting one. They have one that plugs into a computer port to be viewed on the computer screen. The one listed plugs into a android phone and is viewed on the phone screen. I am looking at adding more stuff to my hot rod stuff and this looks like the ticket for checking pistons.

Looks like something the Dr wants to use...
END-o-scope....

One with better resolution would be great connected to a FZ-A1 with the 10" screen.
the Ebay one is only 480x640...In my experience building the microscope camera, 480x640 is not enough resolution.

Ive got one, had a second one not to long ago(dad wasnt happy with his, couldnt see rifling well in .22 barrels). I use mine to look in cylinders at work and what ever else it fits in lol. I like it better than the snapon hand held units

Kinds like i got but mine has the smaller head to fit thru the injector cups on the diesels

I am just looking for one small enough to fit through cylinder head spark plug holes. On my current 52 ford project and a few in the junk yard I want to see what pistons they came with from the factory. On some of them you can't tell unless you pull the heads. Trying to avoid all of that.

I higher resolution one would be nice, I will have to pick one up later on. I got the computer usb version for now. The cheaper one 10 bucks shipped. It came in a couple of days ago I just tried it out. I was thinking I was going to have to use the software that came with it. But everything I tried there software it locked up, etc. So I yanked it out of the CF-30 I had just put on charge and stuck it into my Alienware M11x. Then I tried the Yawcam software I use on it. The drivers installed plug and play so that wasn't a problem. Since the CF-30 was only at 3 Percent charge I just took the alienware out side to look at that piston. Yep, standard output 5.0 piston like I thought.
