Boroscope

[vetdrem]

I just received a fiber optic boroscope that I ordered from ebay. The cost is $16.95 and includes shipping.

It is a 7mm fiber optic camera with a led light that is controllable, and connects to a computer (I use a small laptop at the hanger) using a 6 foot long usb connection. It captures photograph of the image or will even do videos.

I was skeptical, but thought I would give it a try, if it works, it's a good deal, if not, I'm not out that much.

IT WORKS GREAT.

I was showing it off to the guys at the airport and they all wanted the info for ordering one for themselves. the ebay item number is 400488806364.

I can highly recommend adding this to your tool box.

GREAT TOOL FOR A GREAT PRICE

I just ordered one. I want to use it to inspect the piston tops and exhaust side of the rings on my Rotax two stroke. I seem to do more damage than good when I pull the cylinders off at each condition inspection time. Just the gaskets coast over $50 now so its already paid for itself.

Let me know what you think of it when it arrives.

I'm sure you will love it

Thank's for the tip I just ordered one. I have some issues with my tail wheel bolt, and this will come in real handy.

My supereyes camera was delivered today. I ordered one week ago. I'm a dinosaur when it comes to computers so my wife installd the software in about 2 minutes. after fiddle farting with the settings for about a half hour I took it out in the shop and looked down the spark plug holes of a snowmobile engine. It works pretty good. I can push the cord around to get a good look around down there. it takes a little trying for me to get it in the right place if I want to snap a picture. Anyhow, I give it two thumbs up. Heres a picture of the exhaust side of the top of the piston. pretty cool! very good item considering the low price.

Umm... looks kinda dark in there.

there is an LED light with a switch on the camera end. I had the light on but all the settings set to default which appear to be mid range. There are brightness, sharpness, contrast and some more that I don't know what they mean. I'll definetly have to do some experimenting. The image on the lap top screen was much better that the picture I snapped.

You'd better ask your wife for help again!
