Good DIY Tool for Looking At a Sewer Main Lateral or Other Drain.
I used this to take a look at my main sewer line, which has been giving me intermittent problems for weeks. For the price. this is pretty well worth it, especially considering that there's a significant price gap between this thing and actual bore scopes/sewer cams.If you plan to use this for long runs (like down a sewer main), you will need to attach it to a sewer snake, sewer rod or fish tape. I fully expected to have to do this as pushing a tiny camera down an old iron pipe that's barely sloped with a USB cord is like trying to play pool with a wet spaghetti noodle. I used 3M electrical tape wrapped around the camera and sewer snake several times,and I positioned the camera about 4 inches behind the end of the snake. This gave me a point of reference when going through the drain. I also wrapped tape around the camera itself before attaching it to the snake, particularly around where the cable joins the camera. This provided extra protection against water, as I expected to run into some water in my clogged drain.The recording software is very simple and works as expected. It records in several resolutions, but the higher the resolution, the lower the frame rate. This is spelled out when selecting the resolution in the settings. Full HD is only 7.5 frames per second, which is barely discernible. 640x480 is the highest you can get and still get 30 fps. This sufficed for me.The LED illuminated head works well. I do wish it produced more light in a stream as opposed to spread out everywhere, but once again I don't expect incredible illumination at this price.Overall, this is a good and cheap alternative to having a plumber come out and charge hundreds of dollars to run a camera through your sewer.

Not for wet runs, good for dry
This works ok in a dry space but any water on the lens and it's over. I had about 20 feet of chimney sweep extensions that were flexible enough to look down the sewer line but couldn't see anything once it got wet. Dry runs like furnace duct worked pretty good. Not HD quality but you can get an idea.

Not recommended for home colonoscopies
However this thing is great for exploring dryer vents, which is like an intro to colonoscopy class. Obviously it needs to be attached to something rigid. The dryer vent cleaner sans brush worked well but I imagine a fish tape would work well too.

Worked pretty well
This worked pretty well for scoping a 5 inch sewer line. I taped it to a "Cobra Products 60500 3/4-Inch-by-50-Foot Flat Sewer Rod". The illumination was not sufficient, so I also taped on an LED flashlight that I got from Harbor Freight for a dollar and can just be thrown away if it gets too contaminated.Note that scoping a sewer line when it is blocked is not very useful. If you want to see the roots or other damage, the blockage will prevent you from seeing what is really going on!I used this with a program called VLC on my MacBook Air.

Perfect for homemade sewer inspection camera!
Perfect!I've built a home made sewer camera with this. This camera has a small 'dongle' about 1/2 way along the cable, and it's a slightly larger diameter than the camera itself.I ran this through a 48' long piece of 1/2' PEX tubing and RTV'd it in place (I also sealed the end with the cable with RTV). This leaves about 12" of cable at the end of the PEX. I extended this with a standard 10' USB cable and connect it to my laptop. There have been no issues with powering the LEDs or with camera function so far. Great deal!

Good, but not perfect
Got this to scope some drain lines, and since used in a variety of other projects. The image quality is good. Not great, but not bad. The integrated LEDs are sufficiently bright at max, and adjust brightness pretty smoothly.All things considered I have two issues that kept me from giving 5 stars.1) Frame rate is terrible and causes severe motion blurAny useful application of this NEEDS to not rely on this thing being held by shaky human hands. It needs to be VERY still to get a clear picture (and when it is, the picture is pretty good). I had to move it, then wait for the picture to settle to see what I was looking at before moving again.2) Lens clouds easilySeems to have no issue being submerged. However, the slightest of residues on the lens can ruin the picture quality. That's really not the fault of the device itself, but it can be a source of frustration. The good news is that a quick wipe with a clean, soft cloth immediately restores image quality.

NO FOCAL ADJUSTMENTS MAKE IT A BIT TEDIOUS. BUT KNEW THAT GOING IN
I USE THIS TO EXPLORE SEWER PIPES, IT HAS WORKED AS EXPECTED. NO FOCAL ADJUSTMENTS MAKE IT A BITTEDIOUS. BUT KNEW THAT GOING IN.I TAPE IT TO THE END OF A 40 FOOT SNAKE FOR RIGIDITY. IT HAS HELPED ME TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSES OFREPEATED PLUMBING ISSUES ARE.DO NOT LIKE HAVING TO KEEP THE DISK TO INSTALL, AND REINSTALL TO USE, BUT-THAT IS A MINOR INCONVENIENCE.OVERALL, WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT.

Great video quality for the price!
Bought this to look inside the duct work on my RV to see if there is anything blocking it...not getting enough airflow. It's pretty cold in PA right now, so I tested it on the duct work in my house. The endoscope cable is very flexible, so I taped the camera end to a sewer line snake to add stiffness. I was easily able to move it 20 feet into the duct work...could have gone further, but didn't need to. I'm impressed with the video quality in this very inexpensive tool. The LED lights are very bright and I could clearly see the duct work as I snaked it through. Hard to beat for 20 bucks. I have only one specific need for this in my RV, and whether I find an issue there or not, it will be well worth the money spent. The other thing to consider is that this endoscope is 49 feet long...much longer than any others I saw and it costs less. Highly recommend.
