Teslong Articulating Borescope for Mechanic Automotive HVAC Wall Inspection | 2.0MP HD Endoscope, 8 LED Lights, Two-Way 210°, 4.5" IPS Screen, 32GB, IP67 Waterproof, Semi-Rigid Gooseneck, Carrying Case

This borescope is a very useful tool for inspecting areas that would otherwise require taking equipment apart. The two-way articulating tip makes it much easier to look around corners, inside cabinets, behind components, and through tight openings. The image is clear, the built-in light provides good visibility, and the controls are easy to use.The articulating head is what really sets it apart from a basic inspection camera. Instead of just pushing the cable around and hoping it points in the right direction, I can guide the camera exactly where I need it. It has saved time on troubleshooting and helped confirm problems before doing unnecessary disassembly. A well-designed, dependable tool that is worth keeping in the service truck.

This is a great tool and well worth what it cost. It's useful not just for looking inside things, but for looking around things that are obscured. I recently used it to diagnose a coolant leak in my vehicle, which I suspected was coming from the water pump weep hole. I used this borescope to take a look at the underside of the water pump. Had to be done with the motor running, and the flexible steel shaft worked particularly well. It allows you to bend the shaft into the desired shape, and it will hold that shape. That coupled with the articulating head made it possible to do the deed. As it turned out the water pump was fine, so this scope saved me the time and aggravation of changing out a part that's not broke. Image quality is excellent and in color. And the ability to capture images and video is just icing on the cake. This thing is the bomb shizzle. Very glad I bought it.Used it again on a radiator replacement - which is where the leak WAS coming from. I inspected the inside of the new radiator to make sure there was no debris in it, and I used it to insure that the pins on the bottom were properly aligned with the brackets on the A/C condenser. And where it was absolutely invaluable was with the snap coupling for the transmission cooler. I was able to look inside the coupler to see if the tabs were properly engaged, and I didn't like what I saw. Took the fitting back apart, bent the tabs out a bit, and reassembled. Looked again and verified that all four tabs had positive engagement. There's no way I could have inspected that fitting without the articulating head on this little jewel. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite tools - and I've got a LOT of tools.Used it again on a harmonic balancer replacement. It was exactly the tool I needed for initial diagnosis. After hearing a thump followed by a vibration, I was able to quickly look at the rubber on the HB and I could clearly see that it was cracked all the way around. I could get access to the balancer from the bottom without having to remove a bunch of stuff, but when installing the new HB I had no way to actually see if the groove was lined up properly with the key. It felt like it was okay, but there's no substitute for getting eyes on. So out came the Teslong and in less than a minute I was able to look directly into the end of the harmonic balancer and I could clearly see the key in the notch. The applications for this thing are endless.

Very nice Bore Scope for sure! I've owned several other brands, but so far this one is head and shoulders above the rest. If you've never owned / used a bore scope such as this, it's hard to understand the subtle differences and realize exactly why this Teslong is so great. I'll cover some points below that jumped out at me and which might help potential buyers better make their decision:1. MENU SYSTEM - The menu system on this Teslong is very intuitive. That might not seem like a big deal, but until you have used some of the other scopes available on the market, it's hard to really appreciate how well thought out Teslong's menu and buttons are. I've owned a few Depstech scopes; and while they are very nice, as well, I find that some of their menu functions and buttons are confusing and less than intuitive in nature. This makes trying to figure out what you are doing time consuming and aggravating at times. Nothing against Depstech (they make a great product and I still use their scopes), but the Teslong menu system is just much, much easier to deal with on a daily basis while working. That makes using this scope a pure joy.2. THE HANDLE - This is another thing which might not seem like a big deal at first glance, but it is. If you are attempting to video or photo something inside a motor, for example, being able to have firm control over the unit without covering up the screen and/or having to reposition your grip while the display is falling all over the place is quite a nice feature. The handle on the Teslong allows you to easily keep firm control of things and keep the unit stable while working, without requiring you to constantly adjust your grip on the edge of where your screen is (which is sometimes an annoyance while using other scopes that lack a handle).3. SINGLE CAMERA - Wait what? What about those camera heads with 2 or 3 cameras? Yes, those are okay and they do afford multiple vantage points while working. However, in my experience, I have found that having to figure out the complex set of buttons to switch between camera A or A+B or Split screen with A and B or A and C or camera C and B is just a straight nightmare while working. The fact that this Teslong only has a single camera (which you can articulate) saves you from having to deal with all the overly complex controls required in order to jump through all the different cameras and combination of cameras on the end of the cable. So, single camera = easy peasy menu control.4. THE ARTICULATING CENTER LEVER - This is one of the areas where this unit really outshines its competition. If you're shopping around on Amazon, you might run into similar units which have a knob on the left side of the handle (which is used to articulate the camera end). Here's the problem with that design: when you are holding those units, it often requires you to use your free hand to adjust the knob (especially if you need to operate the scope while in your left hand for some reason). With the Teslong, the lever is way easier to work w/ one hand by using your thumb. This, in turn, allows you to use your free hand to position and/or steady the cable as you probe into things like spark plug holes, etc. Having the ability to operate the scope with just one hand (either in your right or left hand) while precisely controlling the cable in the other is really a game changer and makes this unit super easy to deal with and flexible in all situations. Having that lever in the middle (verse the knob on the left side) really gives you a lot more flexibility when using the scope. You can control the position of the cable (and thus the camera) with your spare hand and then easily move the head back or forth to center your view using the lever w/ your thumb.NOTE: I'll include some snap shots of a 22RE Toyota motor I just used this device on and it was super easy to see if the pistons were oversized or not. The second photo attached to this review shows the camera head fully articulated and looking up and backwards at the intake and exhaust valves, after having threaded the camera into a spark plug hole on the motor. As you can see the images are quite clear.5. RECORDS AUDIO ALSO - This unit has a mic which will allow you to record audio as well as video. Super duper handy. On units without this feature, you just have a video that is silent. With the Teslong, you can also record audio while working, which allows you to narrate what you are doing and what you are viewing in real time as part of the video. This comes in super handy if you need to review the video later at your desk and want to remember exactly what you were inspecting or looking at while working. This feature alone makes this camera really stand out in my mind.6. STORAGE CASE - The storage case is very nicely thought out. It has plenty of room to store the cable. Not having to remove the cable is a nice bonus (with most units the cable just attaches to a USB port, which often times requires you to remove it prior to storage in a case).So all in all, I'm very impressed with this Teslong bore scope. This is the 3rd or 4th bore scope I've owned and it's by far the best and most enjoyable to use. The menu system is extremely easy to use and the one-handed operation is really a game changer in a lot of ways. I'm glad they offer a single camera version too, as this makes the menu even more straightforward to use; the ability to pivot around the head (back and forth from left to right) with just your thumb is more than enough to get the camera on target for the vast majority of jobs. This Teslong is easy to use, simple, down to business and gets the job done without interfering with what I'm doing or forcing me to navigate a bunch of complex buttons and menus. I absolutely love it.5-stars for sure. Nice job Teslong!

As a plumber working in an arctic climate, a large portion of my work involves locating and repairing burst pipes. This camera looked like a good option, so I decided to give it a try.The delivery arrived a day later than expected, but the timing still worked out. I was already on a difficult job trying to track down a leak in a ceiling that would normally require cutting out a bunch of drywall while trying to trace. About ten minutes into evaluating this job (before having to cut open the ceiling), I received the delivery notification. I went home to pick it up, returned to the job site, and unpacked it.Right out of the box, the camera was turn-key ready. It took less than a minute to get familiar with the controls before putting it to work. I was immediately impressed! Not only was I able to quickly narrow down the general location of the leak (by drilling a few 1/2 inch holes through the drywall to push the camera through, and being able to turn the head back around to look for trails on the backside), but the articulating head allowed me to pinpoint the exact source—a severely rotted copper pipe, on top of another pipe, located nowhere near where the water was actually showing up. Because of the maneuverability, I was able to find the problem and make the repair with minimal drywall cutting and far less damage than would normally be required.The light output is noticeably brighter than my Ridgid brand borescope, and the image quality is extremely clear. The articulating head does feel somewhat delicate due to the mechanics involved, but that’s not a downside—it just means you can’t treat it like a battering ram like I can do with my Ridgid scope.Overall, I was immediately impressed with the performance and ease of use. For anyone needing a capable inspection camera, especially in tight or concealed spaces, I would absolutely recommend it.

I WORK MAINTENANCE AND HAVE TRIED MANY THAT ARE SUPOSSED TO WORK WITH YOUR PHONE. ALL CRAP!!THEN I PURCHASED THIS TESLONG. FREEKING AMAZING TOOL!! WORKS GREAT, EASY TO USE, AND IS WELL BUILT!!WORTH EVERY PENNY!!THANKS

I've seen several versions of this camera setup. This one seems pretty good, image wise. Articulation at the end is a full 180, which is very useful. The cable is thicker than most I've seen, so keep that in mind. It is stiffer, which can be helpful as it is also very long. But you might have some issues with very tight areas.Overall, it's a recommend.

The articulating tip is very helpful. The resolution and screen are good to very good depending on whether it is in a clear liquid or "dirty". Have already used several times to check out car engine and home lighting projects. For example, I didn't have to pull off the shade on the ceiling fan to check out the correct bulb bases for replacement. I was able to visualize the sockets for a tight area for the lighting on an oven roof vent. The cable is easier to manipulate giving its greater thickness than some other products. Easy to recharge and controls are clear and easy.

Wish I would have bought this sooner, has saved me countless times already, one of my best purchases and a must have tool as an auto mechanic. Dropped a socket and extention while working on a car and couldn't fine where it went used the camera for a minute and found them in the fan shroud. Took really quality photos showing oil on the piston head. Used the camera to help get a bolt into an area I couldn't see at all and was in an awkward position where I couldn't feel where the hole was, placed the camera in the area and it made it a lot easier. Get this camera it'll save time and make things a lot easier.

*⚙️𝙁𝙐𝙉𝙕𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙊⚙️*Il dispositivo ha un'ottimo schermo dalla risoluzione HD, quindi è nitido ed i pixel a fatica si vedono. Gli unici difetti visivi che ho riscontrato a livello display sono:1. Un bilanciamento dei colori non perfetto. I colori sono snaturati, appassiti e non vividi come ci si aspetta di solito in uno schermo IPS. Per me è un classico LCD TFT.2. Sono presenti nel mio modello dei difetti di banding laterali (soprattutto sul lato destro) causati dalla retroilluminazione. Ovvero si formano delle sfocature biancastra sui lati, molto visibili con le immagini scure.In generale lo schermo non è affatto male, è ben visibile all'aperto, ma𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗶 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮' 𝘀𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮. Inoltre la luminosità è fissa e non regolabile.La telecamera ha un'ottima risoluzione e permette di registrare foto/video fino a 𝟭𝟵𝟮𝟬 𝘅 𝟭𝟬𝟴𝟬𝗽. Per i video inoltre abbiamo un frame rate di 30 fps con la possibilità di registrare 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗹'𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼. Video e foto sono sempre nitidissimi per cui posso ritenermi soddisfatto con la messa a fuoco (fissa). Il fuoco dovrebbe essere tarato da 1,5 cm a infinito. Per cui specialmente nelle tubature, i dettagli sono sempre ben visibili. La telecamera è dotata anche di zoom digitale 1,3x e 1,5x.La 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 è il suo punto di forza, il che consente di ispezionare ogni angolo di una tubazione, un cilindro di un motore anche (il cielo del cilindro) o un corrugato per cavi elettrici. L'unica difficoltà sta nel fatto che il cavo troppo rigido non facilità lo scorrimento nelle tubazioni dove vi sono angoli di 90°. Con la testa snodabile riusciamo ad incanalarci in una diramazione a T o a L, ma a causa del cavo rigido, non riusciamo a spingerla e a farla avanzare. Quindi ci blocchiamo.Il dispositivo ha un 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼 che consente di visualizzare le foto/video scattati. Volendo si possono scaricare collegando il dispositivo al PC con la porta USB-C. Ha un altoparlante integrato per la riproduzione dell'audio. Dal menu possiamo modificare la risoluzione, la data e ora, lo spegnimento automatico, ecc. La sonda è dotata anche di sensore di temperatura sempre visibile sul display. Questo manda un pre-allert se la temperatura super i 70°C, mentre sopra gli 85°C si spegne per preservare la vita della telecamera. Direi che è una funzione molto utile si si vuole ispezionare motori, riduttori ad ingranaggi, caldaie o radiatori.*🚧𝘾𝙊𝙎𝙏𝙍𝙐𝙕𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙀🚧*Il Boroscopio ha un'ottima qualità costruttiva, molto rifinito nei particolari. L'involucro è una plastica ABS verniciata in grigio scuro, liscio al tatto e ben assemblato con tolleranze minime. Nella parte frontale troviamo il grosso schermo LCD protetto da una pellicola in plastica. Subito sotto abbiamo i pulsanti gommati in rilievo dal click meccanico, preciso e solido. Non sono retroilluminati. Dietro abbiamo un pulsante in plastica rigida per l'acquisizione delle immagini (un grilletto). Il manico è massiccio di diametro 35~39,5 mm rivestito in gomma al silicone. Al tatto è liscio, morbido e dall'ottimo grip. Subito sopra abbiamo la levetta per la curvatura della telecamera. Ha la testa gommata ed è semplicemente uno slider da muovere in alto/basso. Scorre molto bene ed è abbastanza preciso. ⚠️𝘼𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙉𝙕𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙀! Lo slider diventa molto duro se arrotoliamo il cavo. Si corre il rischio di rompere qualcosa. Il cavo della telecamera deve essere sciolto.Riguardo al cavo, questo è un corrugato in acciaio inox rivestito in plastica nera. Ciò gli consente di resistere ad eventuali oli, grassi o liquidi corrosivi. E' molto rigido e una volta curvato mantiene la sua forma a meno che vengano applicati carichi maggiori. E' fisso al manuco del boroscopio, non è removibile. La telecamera è fissata sul fondo, ha delle boccole in acciaio inox spazzolato che dividono la parte rigida da quella flessibile. La parte flessibile non è nient'altro che una calza in rete di Nylon. L'obbiettivo della telecamera è protetto da un vetro temprato. Il corpo flessibile è lungo circa 36 mm con un diametro di circa 8,3 mm.
