Just bought a borescope

#1 Post by Gazza »

Ebays finest chinese tat :D

5.5mm head including dimmable LED's and mini camera.
1 mtr of wire so suitable for most guns over 5.5mm bore and less than 1 mtr barrel length.

Allegedly viewable on a smartphone running android but not had success with that yet but when I do will be ideal for in the field.

6 quid including postage :good:

Plugged it into the laptop for a test and frightened the s**t out of myself by looking up my nose, mouth and ears. If you get one do not do this!!!! Some things you just aint meant to see!! wtf

I have one and although it works the resolution and camera angle is not so good.

I use the camerafi app for my android phone and tablet. It works with the chinese mini borescopes and small web cams.

This came with a little attachment to swing the view 45 degrees but havent tried that yet so not sure how good it is.
