DEPSTECH Triple Lens Borescope Inspection Camera, 5" IPS Screen Endoscope With Lights, 1080P Sewer and 180° Flip Button, 16.5ft Cable, Cool Tool for Wall, Automotive, HVAC Ducts

When I decided that I was finally going to buy one of these little cameras, I spent hours looking at all the various options. I finally settled on the 16’ version of this camera. I’m very pleased with my purchase. I wanted a camera primarily to look within my walls and stud cavities for running low voltage cabling. I'm not an ace with a fish tape, and this lets me find existing holes and obstructions. This works really well for that purpose, and in multiple (long) sessions it has been thoroughly reliable and satisfying to use. The camera focuses nicely from about 1 inch to infinity. The resolution and lighting are excellent (and the light level is adjustable). The side cameras are far more useful that I expected, and on my first use of the camera revealed something (a corrugated gas line) that I otherwise would have missed. I like the fact that I don’t have to tie-up my phone to use the camera. The flexibility/stiffness of the cable seems to be “just right”. Bottom line: this is a good, solid, choice. Nice unit. Easy to use. Highly recommended.

Aside form my Drs office, I don't know a whole lot about endoscope's but this one was recommended by another generator repair technician. (JC) With this DEPSTECH DS520 Tripple lens +16ft cable, I didn't need to know anything. It's easier to use than most of the cell phones I've owned. 1 forward camera, 1 side camera & 1 side camera that has an extremely close up view, that is you can get really close to the object with one of the side cams (see valve seat damage). I love the 1080 clarity and 5in screen. I haven't used any of the probe attachments, other than the protective cap, yet but have use it to scope out this generator engine with a broken valve, saving me several hours in disassembly, inspection and sitting around waiting for parts to come in while the generator takes up valuable shop & workbench space. Just used it again today in a fuel tank to find the fuel level gauge in pieces & using my old 4 fingered grabber, got them all out. Another few hours saved by not having to remove the tank and shake the pieces out. LoL. It easily interfaces with my computer, laptop as well as my phone & tablet with an adapter (dongle?) Although videos didn't work on the phone but I'm sure "it's not you, it's me" applies here, not a scope issue. Like I said, it's easier to use than my phone. LoL. I'll have to figure that out later. Also enough room in the case for MY charger, dongle & a their second shorter cord if so desired I'm sure. Hint/Tip: Charge it fully before first use, it may take a while that first time. Make sure the Camera Attachment Plug is securely in. (They were kind enough to send me an email reminding me of that) *Note: I wish there was an added screen protector, like for phones. I just worry about scratching it since all my engines have very tight spaces, very sharp corners, usually rounded tops. MrB Repairs. ** 1 month update: I didn't think I would be using this Scope as much as I do. Also Great for close-up belt inspection, underside of riding mower decks & around transmissions for a quick "Look-see". As well as down the old trucks defrost vent to remove an old pen that's prevented the defroster/vent selector from working right from the day I bought the old truck.

So I purchased this amazing endoscope triple lens with split screen features and a carrying case. I was looking for something with a greater camera viewing versatility and higher quality without an high price tag. This 1080p high definition 5” screen not only displays images in detailed, but the 8+2 LED lights provide greater visibility in dark tight spaces. This came in handy when my godchild was experiencing some automotive issues, while allowing me to show her video + pictures of my findings. Her car kept displaying an engine light on and this tool allowed me to further diagnose the bad exhaust oxygen CO2 sensor that needed replacement. While showing her real-time video of her automotive catalytic converter and the valves condition as well. She was amazed at the detailed and simplicity of this endoscope, that she wanted to use it herself. As you can see from the pictures below, I was able to show my godchild the condition of her catalytic converter and go inside each cylinder. This allowed me to record and take pictures for her. This is a must have tool for any DIYer or professionals. Not only does it allow you to see things that virtually would be impossible, but also show what you discovered in clarity. This was 100% worth the money and can see that this was built to last.

Works good, you got to have one! I even bought one for my friend. The camera is not really high definition and the focal length seems to be 2" away from the lens, but when you need to see what's going on, this is great.

I had another model that had some issues, but it gave me something to compare against this one. For a few bucks extra, this one has better resolution, a longer cable, a useful case, accessory attachments, and more. I actually didn't even know it had multiple cameras until I started clicking some buttons. But I do like the side view cameras on this one vs. The articulating cable of the other unit I tested. I've used it multiple times in just a couple of weeks—mostly fishing wires in walls and figuring out what was preventing me from fishing said wires. The attachments were also unexpected, but came in handy immediately. I put the hook to use in grabbing a doorbell wire that I had dropped a little off to the side of my hole in the wall. Worked like a charm. I only have two real critiques so far. One is a real UI issue: I just don't really like the way the camera selection button works. It's not very intuitive that a quick press rotates the orientation, while a long press switches to a split screen or alternate camera view. Two separate buttons would make more sense to me. But the feature itself works great. Finally, I've found that my personal preference, at least in the problems for which I've employed the borescope so far, is a shorter cable. The typical 5.5ft cable is plenty for peering into walls. I can see this longer cable coming in handy the next time I need to inspect the entirety of my dryer vent, locate a blockage in long sanitary sewer line, or maybe if I were dropping wires in a two-story home. But for just peeking into a regular wall cavity, the long cable just becomes a bit unwieldy. But, that's also where another benefit of this product shines: because the cable is not integrated into the screen unit, it can be replaced. So maybe I'll look for a shorter cable for shorter jobs, while reserving the longer one for the instances that call for it. Longevity yet to be determined, but battery life is good, display quality is good. Recording capability is very useful. Good product for a good price, I'd say.
