  • Endoscope Recommendation

    The posts below were originally part of the Suggestions for upgrades to include with axle replacement (so the posts were OT). Since it has gained traction as a topic all it's own, the posts were moved here for further discussion. -Howard (Moderator)

    I will not ask what your planning to do with the endoscope.

    All kidding aside, I have one I received as a gift and it works well for looking into walls and so on. I can look for the brand name if you wish.

        Well I now know where your mind is at Jim. Scott don't worry - it's for the inspection of the holding tanks and other such things.

        I am looking at this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...J816SDFM&psc=1
        or a dual lens one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...AZFQ2QJOC&th=1
        don't know if I need the dual lens, but it might come in handy

          Keith,

          Perhaps you missed this part.

          "All kidding aside, I have one I received as a gift and it works well for looking into walls and so on. I can look for the brand name if you wish".

          I apologize if this offended you. Cant help being reminded with some attempted humor since I get those wonderful tests every year since I'm a cancer risk.

              No worries Jim - all in fun My reply was meant as humor - sorry. I have a long history of those scopes - just the ones Doctors use

              On edit - I would like to know what you have after reading the reviews on the Dipstech and the security issues.

                The first one is a combo package deal withe several attachments.. The camera stand alone has OK reviews too....But read the one star reviews https://www.amazon.com/DEPSTECH-Bore.../dp/B07X8SPJZT

                Now I need to think about this choice, or brand if they all require email or data being on

                  The camera is it's own wifi network. With your phone, with wifi enabled you sign in to the cameras network. No data required. I'd go dual lens. I forget, how does this endoscope tie into axle replacement?

                    LOL - it doesn't. I got side tracked on another thread on a black tank plug and when folks wanted me to get the instrument modual posted above (The Spend Yoda's money quest you all have) I just mention I was shopping for the endoscope - it went sideways form there. But it could be used to inspect inside the axle tube and I believe someone mentioned using it to look inside the brake drum to check on brake wear without pulling the hub - also check for grease contamination.

                    Lots of uses - including belly inspection for leaks.

                        I've been looking at all the options and, like Yoda, a bit overwhelmed with all the options. I know one thing: I want a case with it! I'm going to copy all these endoscope posts and insert into a new thread since we're OT.

                          When you get it all figured out can you let me know? I had not thought of the need for a case, but good point as I would loose it otherwise. Thanks for putting this all on one thread.

                            I think I have a previous generation of what you linked: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYTI2HV

                            I'll be honest, it's been fine, but not great. It requires a confined path to follow or it goes all over and makes it impossible to determine up from down and left from right. I've typically used it with an iPad so I can reasonably see the display.

                            For short distances, it works best. I typically use it to poke through a small hole somewhere and just examine what's inside.

                              Update
                              I ordered this https://depstech.com/collections/new...h-screen-ds580 I sent an email about comparing units and the sent a 10% off coupon. No tax and free shipping

                              Why - I dd not want a probe having access to my phone, the probe is top rated and the cable stiffer than most so you can direct it around a bend. It's water proof and comes with a solid case along with a hook attachment and magnet. Long battery life too, so hopefully it will hold a charge when not in use. Ill post later once it arrives. Ordered today and I got an email already it has shipped.
