Teslong 5'' Dual Lens Borescope Camera for Wall & Engine Inspection

I moved into an old apartment unit that was already renovated. To know what was happening in the walls, behind build in furniture and that kind of stuff, I needed an endoscope so as not to destroy the renovation. I have owned 2 cheaper units, a USB A type with rigid camera housing and USB C type that is not rigid. I believe they are .3 MP and worked well enough but the value that they brought me was huge, even with trash image quality, needing a laptop or a phone to use it, and the light that made those endoscopes pretty bad. Too much light and camera get blow out and if not enough, then you can't see anything. So I have been on the look to upgrade for awhile. And here I am... Teslong is exactly what I was looking for and even better. The light does not make the camera image worse to any extent. The built in display means that I do not have bring a laptop the location, which usually is dirty. The entire camera is rigid which means I have full control over the camera movement. The quality of the images are amazing. The camera is 5 MP vs cheap ones that are .3. And the best part, I didn't even know I needed it, is the side lens. Rather than needing to reposition the camera 90 degrees, I just click a button and BAM!!! And the software side of the product is great too. For the cheaper endoscopes I had to get 3rd party camera software on PC or use a phone app. They are pretty trash. Whereas here, I can take video and pictures on the unit itself. I can rotate the image on the unit for better viewing angle. It just works. Just grab the carrying case and you have all you need to use the endoscope. Love this product. As a heads up, make sure to get camera length that you today need or maybe need in the future. I wanted to buy 3.3ft camera for easier handling and those things are where most of the cost is. I still buy one at some point. I originally bought the 16.4ft one and it can get little annoying when using the camera for something short.

I should have bought one of these years ago! Seems I am always running cables and wires through walls for various audio, video and computer networking projects. No more guess work on which route to take. When I'm not doing projects in the house, I am in my shop working on cars, trucks, tractors, etc. I am finally able to get a visual between the engine and firewall, under and behind the dash, above the fuel tank, along the frame of the vehicle, and countless other tight spots that have always been a nightmare to work on. This thing can pay for itself in one use if it means you don't have to remove components just to get an eyeball on a certain area of the vehicle. I love this tool! Easy to use. Has a sharp image. Tube is rigid enough to run vertically, yet very flexible and plenty long enough for most jobs. The dual cameras are a plus. Great battery life. Even the protective storage case is high quality! I would buy again in a heartbeat!

The borescope camera is outstanding. I inspect and repair RV's and this camera saved my rear end! I had a power cable get stuck way out reach in a ceiling cavity. The borescope helped me find the cord and I was able to slowly fish it out with other tools. Without this camera, the RV would have needed its ceiling dropped. The picture is adequate for the work I do. This is not a high end camera where you can remotely articulate the camera from side to side, but I don't believe I will need it because it has two camera views. I was able to take pictures and video to show the work I was doing for a customer. Very impressive. Zoom capability is modest with 1.5x but in cramped spaces, you don't need much more than that.

It helped diagnose a leaky fuel tank pump on a pick up truck without having to do much, these pictures were taken from the screen, the actual picture resolution it’s a lot better. Wish you could just import the pictures via WiFi. Overall a good product and fairly easy to use.

My plumbing outfit is normally pretty competent but they charge $300 bucks for just about any visit and work they do. I had ** subtle ** leakage in a cramped area behind the tub in my bathroom that was dripping to the floor below. Plumber couldn't get to root cause. The camera showed me that our clawfoot tub has progressive corrosion around the underside of its drain causing leakage and that also, a nearly hidden pipe that goes up to the shower never had it's sealing ring tightened. I turn on the shower and this camera IMMEDIATELY shows the leak spurt out at a particular location - i.e. immediate cause & effect evidence. The picture is very clear. The ability to take pictures and even movies for what you find puts it over the top. * Comes with a decent case and a perfunctory owners manual. * Battery is replaceable. * I have been able to get things done without referring to the manual much. The ONLY thing that threw me off for a moment was 1) being unable to find the micro-USB port to begin charging (It's behind a skinny strip of rubber seal you can pull back) and 2) It took me a few minutes to realize that I didn't have to add a USB card as they were actually nice enough to provide a 32GB one. * The cord is pretty darn long and is very armored. Slight frustration: You'll spend most of your time adjusting and wrestling with the fiber optic cord/snake to get it just so. But that's life eh? SUMMARY: While this is my initial use, I can say that - at this point - I can recommend this product. It's one of those things where I don't envision using it but once a year but when I need it, it will come in very handy. EPILOGUE: I could have used this years ago while doing electrical work in our turn of the century older house (non standard studs) and also when I was mounting big screen TV. At that time, the way I had to gather info was circumstantial: pounding on wall, stud finder & drilling a hole or two and patching later. This device would have solved all that and saved me a lot of time.

Very pleased with both the quality of construction and the quality of the images produced. As a serious DIYer I appreciate high quality tools. I put this endoscope in that category. During my 40+ years of experience I have learned it is typically worth the extra money to buy quality tools designed to do a specific job. Such tools typically operate with fewer problems, produce better results, are more durable, and are a pleasure to use, instead of being a source of frustration and regret one often has when buying inferior tools. I really like most everything about this unit. - The dual camera. Being able to see straight ahead and at 90 degrees, without having to use some sort of mirror attachment, is really helpful. And being able to switch between the two views without moving the probe is invaluable (obviously can’t do that if using a mirror attachment). - The semi-rigid cable. It is flexible, yet rigid, once bent to the desired shape. It retains its shape until you change it. It doesn’t flop around like many of the less expensive units do. - The high quality image produced by the camera and screen combination. The clarity is amazing and the details you can see is impressive. The images produced have been more than adequate for any inspection that I have done. - The adjustable lights built into the probe work well. They provide sufficient light for the camera to capture a clear image. In addition, being able to reduce the intensity of the light, at times, improves the image quality. The flashlight built into the hand-held unit is handy. - The simplicity and intuitiveness of the unit operation is welcomed. Since I don’t use the unit very often, being able to take it out of the case and immediately have it up and running providing images in a matter of minutes is great. Having a unit with more “bells and whistles” but one that I would have to refer to the instruction manual, to refresh my memory on how to use it, would be a real pain. Likewise, having to depend on establishing communication with a cell phone, and the inherent challenges that can come with the software on the cell phone recognizing and communicating with the camera, etc. is not a complication I need. - The case is very nice and appropriate for a professional/industrial piece of equipment such as this. Among other inspections performed, I was able to inspect my home’s HVAC ductwork to confirm the ducts were clean and free of any mold or mildew, saving hundreds of dollars by not hiring a specialty cleaning company to clean the ducts when they really didn’t need it. I cut diametrically opposed slits in a tennis ball and pushed the probe through the slits until the end of the probe was slightly protruding from the outside of one side of the ball. Then I was able to push the probe/tennis ball through the inside of the ductwork with the tennis ball keeping the probe about 1 ½ inch (i.e. radius of the tennis ball) off the surface of the ductwork. This technique worked well and allowed a thorough inspection to be performed.

This tool is a must have not just for a mechanic. An HVAC service tech. A sewer repair tech but anyone who has to do inspections or look for problems in almost impossible places. I am a retired Diesel technician and Diesel and Automotive instructor at one of our local community colleges. In my profession they had small scopes with short cables and to some extent those were good but what if you needed just a foot more to let you be able to see what your problem was? And with this tool you can also switch over to look at the side ( say you were looking in a cylinder or the inside of an exhaust pipe ). I also used this to look in my home sewer to locate a blockage 11 feet away from where I started. And since I could see what the blockage was, years of soap and grease build up, I was able to unplug it with one of the attachments that comes with the kit. This tool is a must have for just about everyone. Looking in a roof gutter to see a blockage. Looking under the refrigerator to look for something you dropped. It literally has thousands of uses. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. You won't be sorry and you can't go wrong. The end has lights in it so being able to see things in dark places is a snap. The first time you unblock your sewer and didn't call a plumber it just paid for itself. If your unsure about your ability to use this or any other tool please call a professional. Your own safety comes first but for the rest of you DIYer's you won't know how you ever got along without it. John Wingert

Doing lots of remodeling work in a very old house that has been added on to in many ways. Not knowing what was inside the walls, due to all the renovations previously, I ordered this to save me some time and headache. Using the camera probe through electrical outlet holes, I was able to see very clearly with plenty of light, and determine what steps to take for the tasks at hand (most likely would have had to tear out a couple of walls trying to figure this out without it). It was also used to find a drain problem with a bathtub. The freeze picture button is very handy so you can take better looks at it without having to hold the endoscope perfect the whole time. I wish I would have had this a long time ago and I'm sure it will come in very handy for many things in the future. If you are looking for a nice, clear endoscope camera that is very easy to use, I would recommend getting it.

Hi. The camera is great product for the money. Easy to use in the house. I head water leak and perform very well. Enough light in dark area, picture quality is exelent. Meybe to big leans head for use in automotive.

I used in a few jobs and it saved me a lot of time and work. It needs some used to to adjust the direction and the focus. Sometimes you need to bend the camera cable to a certain shape before you inert it to make it easier to find what you are looking for but once you get the hang of it and you used the 2 cameras it is great .

The quality and function of the product as true as it advertised. Shipment waiting time are short. Overall I’m am satisfied with the product…excellent. Thank you

Very useful for inspect our machined components

Excellent bit of kit
