$50-55 borescope that hooks to yer phone.

[LINUS]

Thought I'd toss this at the collective - cheap & universal to your phone.
There's prob cheaper & I'm not a big Amazon guy, but with it supposedly 'on sale' I went for one.

Find Problems At Their Source with This High-Res, High Toughness Camera

I'm not Mr. Wizard of electronics, feel free to bag on it or order one.

Balls.

Looks like $30 more for the crap I bought.
Amazon just bugs me (odd right? - they're literally 70mi from my house).

Ah well, at least I bought a new iphone charge cord at the same time - 80% of the battle is getting me to pry open the wallet/paypal account.

They're 80% of the battle is getting me to pry open the wallet/paypal account.

I bet if you listened to my soft buttery voice for a few minutes every night for a week, I could coax that other 20% out of you, no problem.

What are you up to this summer? You should pick out a who's who list of PNW honeys for us rust belters to come take a look at.

Don't ruphie me & call it a date - frankly I respond to dirty talk over that Marvin Gaye stuff anyhow. I'm all about the dirty birds

Srsly, you see a 80 you like - I have the same policy as J / @NLXTACY - I'll look for free & you get exactly what you paid for.
I'm dead between Seattle & the Peace Arch crossing/CA border - if someone wants a free look-sie & a metric ton of texted pics w/ impressions of runnability after me owning/owned 2 great 80's & 1 decent 80 (the 450), I'm familiar with all the right sounds and a few of the wrong ones.

80's are like the ladies the more I make these comments - some want your wallet, some want adventure & show you good times/memories, and some are just basketcases.

I'm sure someone will take issue with that, but seems pretty true.

Well, if you had been paying attention two and a half years ago…
"BEHOLD! The TEN BUCK Boroscope!"

Oh, wow, and here I had just come across the WiFi version the other day and thought that was a good deal!

Does the USB version just show up to the computer like a webcam would? No proprietary software to run?

I got a USB borescope a couple of years back for an engine job. On a windows XP machine I installed (don't remember if I had to or not) some free-to-download generic camera software to be able to see the camera on the screen. But it may be easier with later Windows systems.

 

[Waorani]

Also got a USB a few years ago. It needed software installed and the image was useless at best. Are the current ones any better?

 

[gummycarbs]

So, I ordered the USB version. It shows up as "Teslong Camera" under Cameras in Device Manager on Windows 10. Running the Windows 10 Camera app, I'm able to view the video feed without any additional software or drivers. I'm also able to get at least a static image using VLC, but I haven't played around with that much.

I was also able to use it with my Moto G5 Plus Android phone using Webeecam from the Play Store. That just happens to be the first app that popped up in a search. I think that any app meant for viewing OTG (On The Go, for using USB accessories with mobile devices) will work.
