$30 bucks of fun!

I picked up a $30 WiFi Endoscope for a project I am working on, then I got the bright idea to start poking about my 308 with the camera, what great fun looking at thing you never see on you favorite toy, cylinders, belts, etc.

Way cool!!!

 

Don't forget the money saved on do it yourself colonoscopies
Actually these are very nice instruments to have. In the airplane world they are used to look at the exhaust valves for impending failure.

 

I can't believe how cheap this stuff has become. I just picked one up on Amazon for $35 - it will be great to scope the OE headers on my parent's 355 to see if they are still usable/able to sell or if they are cooked and ready to burst...

I'm really glad I spotted this thread!

 

+1. Awesome. Does it interface to a mobile app on iOS?

 

The WiFi camera uses a mobile app for iOS , Andriod or PC easy setup.

 

Sure is a clean piston and the cylinder wall looks great.

 

You just made me buy one

 

On the 355 the melted tubes should be pretty easy to spot before the cracks and leaking start showing up....that should work great.

 

This pic is of great quality for a $30.00 WiFi endoscope.
Would be interested in brand. Do you have a link?

Best and thanks in advance

Your correct the picture quality is very good considering the cost.

 

Thanks Frank.
How long does it take to connect to WiFi?
I have a similar thing, but it takes up to two minutes (feels like forever sometimes) till connected. (iOS). Slightly faster with Win10-PC.

Best Regards
Martin

 

The wifi setup just takes a few seconds each time you use the camera.

 

The head size is important on these, this one is 8mm which is fine for normal spark plugs etc. They are obtainable in smaller head diameters for applications that require it.

DIY colonoscopy... Not recommended

 

So I see this thread title and think..."what is this thread about"
Read the posts real quick.....immediately open the Amazon app and ordered one lol
Free same day shipping !
It is amazing how cheap things have gotten. I remember years ago looking at one, maybe at Home Depot? Either way it was $200ish and I couldn't pull the trigger on it.
For $30 its a no brainer.

 

Bought one.

Connects to my Samsung Galaxy phone in about 5-10 seconds.

Picture is AWESOME.


IF you need one, get this.

I would have been happy at TWICE THE Price.

 

I need to locate a groundhog, will it work for that? can you mount it on a small terrestrial drone? one with a remote pistol?

 

That is WAY better quality than the one I have. Ordering now...

 

With a little ingenuity I dont see why not.

The camera cable is semi-rigid. It will hold the shape you bend it into ..... to a point.

Keep that in mind.

 

Add me to the list of buying one after reading this thread,,😀

 

Just noticed that on the listing the focal length of this type is 50mm. Thats likely one reason why this is good for this application, many of them have a much longer focal length which is too long for inside cylinders etc, so you end up with a blurred image.
