Borescope for home usage?

[ovenpaa]

Jon, are you using the Darts for rifle work?

I bought a cheap ebay one, currently item 390691530920 - 2M Waterproof 6 LED USB Insprection Tube Camera Endoscope Borescope 7MM Lens

Here's what I was able to record. Judge for yourself whether it was worth a tenner:

It works just fine off a Window's pc, but I've not managed to get it working from an Android phone/tablet, which would be my ideal; possibly there are other models out there which would be more compatible. It works best with an additional light source coming from the other end of the barrel. The 7mm camera lens was the smallest available at this price, but it works OK in a .30 cal or larger, and fits happily in the chamber of my .223.

Thanks for that Triffid- I reckon that's worth the price, particularly if the ones with the end mirrors will still fit down a .308.

Try looking for rigid endoscopes as well.

Ouch

You'd have to watch the focus on that. The one I bought has a minimum focus of 2cm - you can see that on the clips. If you put a mirror on it, then it may not focus properly.

There are cameras down to 3.9mm on ebay but not with USB connection

What is the betting them Chronos presses will turn up on some of the reloading box shifters sites at 50 quid now.

Wise words Honey Badger.

Zanes, do you live in Wantage?

I can let you try one of mine if you want.
