Was it you, Bob D, that said he had a bore scope that hooked up to his smart phone? I thought it came from HF, but their cheapest one, they said, was around $75. Any info?

I tried the bore scope from HF and was very disappointed with it. such low light that the camera on the end of the scope had to be practically on top of the part to see it on the attached screen. Then got this from Amazon that WIFI's to my old iPhone 5c...works perfect. JWID

I have a USB one which I got from either Banggood or eBay, don't remember which. It has its own light source which is settable and a right angle adapter which screws onto it. It's about a quarter inch in diameter. Works great, was less than 30 scoots if memory serves. If I remember, tomorrow I'll get it out of the car and see who made it.

I have a "Genuine GM" fiber-optic scope. It has a very bright light, a
right angle prism, a 1/4" diameter head, and it has a adapter that allows
interfacing with a laptop or other digital devices. It cost a whole bunch
more than $30.00, although the prices have come down in the years since I
bought it. I originally purchased it to do powerhead inspections on big
outboard motors. Saves a whole bunch of labor on loose roller bearing lower
ends.

I have a Ryobi ES5000, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it! I have the manual, but what happens does not agree with the manual.

I bought one on eBay and it's reasonable for the price I paid. With the exception of movable articulation, it provides a similar picture as the medical one at my veterinary clinic (that cost thousands).
