DXZtoz Articulating Borescope with 0.33in Articulated Snake Camera for Pipeline, Sewer, and Drain Inspection - Semi-Rigid Fiber Optic Scope, Waterproof with Light - 10FT

Helped determine where the squirrels were in our ductwork! It is difficult to turn corners but can get it to work somewhat. Very clear pictures! Good lighting in pitch black ducting.

This borescope has come in handy to diagnose some plumbing issues we've had in our home. Being long with an articulating head makes moving along turns in drain pipes much easier. We had a leak in our ceiling downstairs and were able to use this tool to identify a section of the shower drain line that had a break along a coupling. Without this tool, we would have had to open the ceiling to identify the issue. While we still had to open up the ceiling to do the repair, the boroscope confirmed the problem and made us comfortable that opening up the ceiling was the right move. The picture from the scope takes some time to understand as the orientation inside pipe can change quickly. The wheel that allows the camera head to turn is a useful feature with helps keep orientation and and investigate issues more precisely. The LED lights are adjustable which is nice to keep good contrast on the section of the pipe we're looking at. Do note that with the longer cable, the unit does become pretty bulky. It comes in a nice carrying case but getting all the cable back into the case takes some time. Our next project would be using this to identify the source of a leak in our car radiator.

My biggest complaint about the borescope is the lack of a reference point as the tip is being guided into the work area. If a person isn't familar with what they are looking at they wont know where top or bottom is located on the screen. Even if top is set before entering the confined space the movement going into the space causes skewing of the cable and aspect. I was thinking about placing a small yellow paint dot on the top of the lens but concerned that it might obstruct the view because the tip is so small. Over all I like the borescope the picture is very clear, has adequate lighting and is fairly easy to use. The cable is a bit limp when fully extended and should have had some type of adjustment for the flex. The battery life seems good never had to recharge during use. The cae is well designed and holds everything. There are adapters for the tip but so far I havent used them.

I bought this since I enjoy working in my own cars and figured it would be a nice addition when trying to diagnose issues I can't clearly see. I recently had an opportunity to use it when I noticed my car was leaking coolant and I couldn't directly see from where. This thing is awesome! I was able to take pictures of where the coolant was coming from and because of the adjustable camera and lighting it worked out better than expected. I like that you can take pictures and save them on the device as well as rotate the image as you're actually using the tool. I still had plenty of the snake to go even deeper in if needed. It filled a void in my toolbox I didn't even know I needed! The storage container is solid and keeps everything organized and because the screen disconnects it's easy to recharge as well. Great product!
