Our Review
The Articulating Borescope | Industrial Endoscope | Flexible Snake Scope for Mechanics Electrical Equipment Duct Automotive Engine delivers solid performance for its category. With Resolution: 1920x1080 (1080P), Sensor: 1/9" CMOS, Cable Length: 5m flexible, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.
Image quality was sharp at the center with some softness at edges. The LED illumination was bright enough to see clearly inside pipes and enclosures, and the semi-rigid cable held its shape during inspection.
The waterproof probe handled damp environments without any moisture ingress. App connectivity was reliable on both Android and iOS.
The Articulating Borescope | Industrial Endoscope | Flexible Snake Scope for Mechanics Electrical Equipment Duct Automotive Engine earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
What We Like
