Video Snake Cam - borescope - max.TV (http://www.max.tv/electronics/video-snake-cam-borescope.aspx)
bought one of these a while ago the thing works great it has only a 10 or 11 mm head so can go down plug thead holes too
forgot about lookin for link but handy as i said
also handy on the bench as it zooms in and can be wired to laptop ot desktop comp to use the full size screen

I use a snapon bk5500 the tip fits easily in to spark plug threads it does not zoom but does have video output. They make several leads I have the standard straight on, a dual imager that can switch from straight on to side view and a ultraviolet thats great for hvac boxes checking evaporators for dye. The only bad it chews up AA batteries

~~~~ MH iwas expecting the afterthoughts of what you would do with this that wasnt actually work lol

but its an ok tool tiny screen but on a laptop its great
it does in fact use aa bats quick but at the price ya could easilly afford set of rechargable batts and a charger ?
think the snapon one my mate had (till he left it in a customers car) was 200 plus vat on offer
so if ya aint a snap on or mac tools junkie its a great buy and believe me it aint out often (after ya get it to check up yer nostrilss ect )
but in some situations its been a great investment
and theyre cheaper now than when i bought it

na mate just a simple phono thing to jack ?
maybe could record i aint got the smarts to set it up ?
but the guys in the workshop had fun when i got it
had to disinfect the camera and handle lol

but the camera size was the most important bit the others except the snapon had 14mm camera heads so plug holes were a no chance
this gadget has got a 10mm or 11 mm head
but good for finding stuff ya drop too lol
and can see in to look at dmfs and you can see debris and damage
all in all i have spent a lot more for bits of kit and used it rarely
also handy in door checks for wiring ect
as it can save ripping the lining out just peel a bit back and pop the camera in

i bought one of this some time ago. about 30? in germany.

it is only usb without monitor. the head looks similar to yours.

i thought i could inspect valves through plug hole, built a little
mirror for looking upward. but this camera have two problems:

1. you can`t focus things which are nearer than about 100mm
2. the led light is to weak, i tried to inspect a muffler from inside. it is like inspecting a "black hole"

But, for that price, you can use it to find lost things in engine bay. it comes with a strong magnet clip to fish lost metal parts. And you have live streaming on your computer. it has an knob for snapshot pictures.

last i used this tool for indicating a defective camshaft of an audi v6 tdi by taking pictures through oil filling hole.

Mine arrived today, not had much chance to play yet but looks like it will be useful. Focuses to within a few mm - led's could be brighter but if you shine a hand lamp it improves the picture, came with a tiny mirror so should be ok for viewing valves down plug hole - will try when I get a chance & post back

I use the same and agree the battery issue is a pain... spoke with rep and he advised removing batteries after use to help prolong them.

Back to the $16.50 borescope. Thought I'd risk it. Paid by Paypal, and it took a week to arrive. Its a colour camera with 4 variable brightness LEDs (controlled by a little thumb wheel on the USB cable). The cable also has a button which tells the supplied windows software to capture a still image. Waterproof as well. Also, looks like it might have a mic on the USB. For the money its bang on.
A couple of captures:

Nice one pleased some body made use out of my junk mail from BANGGOOD

so it was $16 like ?10.50 in your hand or did you have to pay more?

That was it, $16.50 delivered. You could pay more if you wanted it quicker. It said 10 to 15 days delivery with no extra postage costs - took a week. The site was dead easy to use. Just picked a pay method and away it went.
