50FT Endoscope Camera with Light, Oiiwak Snake Borescope Endoscope Inspection Camera for Pipe Sewer Drain Plumbing Inspection 1080P HD 4.3" IPS Screen Waterproof IP67

I own a 30 foot sailboat with Yanmar 2GM20F engine. I can not tell you how many tight spaces there are on the boat and in and on the engine. I can estimate though and it is somewhere between 900,000 and one million. If you drop a screw on my boat there is a 50/50 chance you will never see it again...until now. I have done testing at home and I am pretty stoked to go down to my boat and start finding that treasure trove of hardware I have lost over the years.On a serious note, this device is going to be a Godsend for troubleshooting and identifying issues aboard the boat. Given the camera is waterproof, I may be able to use it under the boat as well. Will try that after I absolutely assure waterproofness.Couple of initial recommendations for Mfg1. A small carrying case should be offered as an option. Does not have to be included necessarily but I certainly would like to have a small rugged case for this device. My guess is it will not take kindly to being bashed around in storage. I would be happy to pay a little extra for such a case.2. I noted, as others have, that I have to push the usb camera connector in and out a time or two to get a connection between camera and device. Not hard to deal with but quite concerning when you first receive the unit and you get the "no signal" message upon activation. Mfg. should get to the bottom of this and address. It can not be a complex tech issue to resolve.3. A couple of small accessories, a hook and a magnetic head? are included. Might be a good idea to mention them briefly in the docs so people understand what they are and how they are used. It wasn't too difficult to figure out but it would be really easy to mention them in the manual.4. might be useful to consider a small swing out stand attached to the back so a user can set this up on a surface with the screen in a vertical orientation.Edit 04/08/2021Unit still working great but I have found the USB plug will go in backwards which leads to no signal warning. If you can not get past no signal be sure you have the usb plugged in correctly. There is a small, hard to see, arrow on the connector which lines up with a corresponding arrow on the display unit. Manufacturer, make that arrow more visible or key the plug so it can only go in one way!!Otherwise this unit has saved my butt more than once when I dropped nuts or screws into the engine compartment guts. It has also come in handy wen troubleshooting problems in tight spots elsewhere on the boat. The biggest problem I have is remembering that this thing is aboard and available to help. I will futz around for 30 minutes and then ask myself "why aren't you using the dang scope?" Pull it out and voila, problem identified in five minutes.I have purchased a small waterproof plastic box (avail on Amz) to store the display unit and camera+cable. This works great but I still wish the mfg offered a protective case.I also always recharge to full after every use so it is ready to go with full charge for the next spelunking adventure.Overall continue to be extremely satisfied with this purchase and value for money.

Scope and monitor worked well. Lighting of the area is good.

I had another 'endoscope' that requires you to pair the device with your phone and I rarely used it because I didn't want to go through the hassle. The Oiiwak Inspection Camera, on the other hand, is a stand alone device. All I have to do is flick the 'on' switch and it is up and running. As a result, I use this device 10x more than the other one. The camera image displayed on the screen is very good.One thing I love, love, love about this endoscope is that it has both a front and side camera. Why this is important: for devices with only a front-pointing camera, you often must bend the camera cable at a 90 degree angle to view what you want to see. For example, when I want to see the back side of something that is placed one inch from the wall and not easily moved, it is very hard to angle to cable in that small space to see what you need. With the Oiiwak, you just push a button to switch to the side camera and you can feed the cable straight into the small space and see everything without needing to angle the cable. Brilliant!

The major problem with this product is that it is very cheap for something that sits at a $100+ price point.1.) The cable is simply too thin and mailable. As soon as you insert a few feet of cable into whatever you are trying to scope, the cable will begin to curl in upon itself, and you won’t be able to manipulate the camera or move it any further. You will never actually utilize the length of the 50 foot cable, because you won’t be able to control the camera beyond a few feet.2.) Because the cable is so thin and mailable cable management is an absolute nightmare. As soon as you remove the cable from its shipping packaging it will immediately tangle. You will have to untangle the cable every few feet.3.) Build quality is overall very cheap. The connection where the cable attached to the display was very loose on my model. The LCD light would flicker off and on if you so much as bumped this connection. It had to be seated just right for the light to work at all.I would not recommend this product, and I intend to return mine.

I purchase this product to look down into the floor vents in the lower level of Our house. The vents in this level are encased in concrete and inaccessible to observe and evaluate in any other manor.Plus sides, the light brightness adjustment was as described and very helpful in the conditions within which I was working. The controls were straightforward and very easy to use right out of the box. The recording function was more than adequate for my needs and for that of most users in my opinion. Did not try it in wet conditions.Cons, the wire is not rigid enough to push further than a few feet as even when strait it tends to curl up on itself when pressure is applied. This rendering it useless for long runs. (Work around used for this below).Battery life appeared short. As I fully charges the unit out of the box. Used it for about 30 minutes and was called away for several hours. Before leaving I turned the unit off and returned to a dead unit.Opinion, for the dollars this is a good unit for 25 feet or less. When used on straight runs. I found using an electrical fish tape attached to the wire allowed me to extend the distance of usability considerably.There will be some issues with orientation when using, however with use they are manageable. For the dollars, this is a good unit when used within the parameters indicated previously. Unfortunately, I will need to upgrade to something just a little more stable for future uses. Good luck.
