Ralcam 360° Articulating Borescope, 6.2mm/0.24in Slim Probe, Joystick 4 Ways Endoscope Inspection Camera with Light, 3.3 FT Flexible Snake Tube for Automotive, HVAC, Mechanics

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Found on sale cyber Monday and was saving $100.00. Thought I’ll buy this for my shop staff and hope that it will serve its purpose but not going to have the highest expectations. We have used this tool to look inside engines, HVAC systems, areas that would normally need disassembly to obtain numbers and that’s just a few ways. This is by far the best tool I’ve bought for our shop to date and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a scope and on the fence of what to buy.

Bought for my husband and he’s loving it. Works great.

great product! we use this all the time at my shop and its quickly becoming one of the most important tools in the shop. the picture quality is very good and the buttons and joystick are easy to control. great value for the money compared to other "top quality" products. 10/10

Enjoy the use of this product. It takes great photos, easy to update information for time stamping, and simple single hand push button photo capture. One wish... the flexible borescope offered in a slightly longer scope probe. Excellent product.

So like you, I went cheap and originally bought a $100 borescope that had a 2-way articulating function. NO THANKS! Since it was impossible to control the direction of the articulation (other than left/right), it became impossible to get those units to look at what you actually wanted to look at. Enter this 4-say borescope, VIOLA! Now I simply rotate the stick to see precisely where I want to see, regardless of what angle the snake enters into a hole or crevice! Brilliant!

This borescope is typical junk. Yes, it rotates, and yes, the LED lighting is fine. But the advertised “360° articulation” is an absolute lie. In reality, the camera only moves about 90° in three positions, and in the fourth position it bends back at most around 120°, nowhere near 180°.If you’re planning to use it for automotive inspection, for example inserting it into a cylinder to check valve condition, forget it. It simply doesn’t bend back far enough.The handle is poorly designed: your finger constantly hits the snapshot button by accident, the joystick is extremely stiff, and while it can be operated with one hand, in practice you’ll need two hands — one to fight the joystick and one to guide the cable. That makes it very awkward.Image quality is mediocre. It does transmit, but there’s too much noise and not enough clarity for precision inspection.Bottom line: not worth it. Misleading articulation claims, clumsy controls, questionable image quality. Stay away.

the resolution is not that good, it is cheap but the quality of the equipment is no good

For the price, it's an excellent tool for an automotive tech. Very easy to use and set up. Resolution is 1080p which is more than clear enough to show the customer the problem or for the tech to identify the problem. Very rugged and sturdy. Comes with cables for android and apple phones as well as it has a USB C cable to charge the internal battery. Battery life is really good, usually get 3 or 4 days of use out of it before I charge it. It does give you the units battery life when you connect it to your phone, other than that, no way to tell battery life without being g tethered to your phone.
