" ... Easy to use great pictures! ... "
" ... The camera takes nice pictures from about 3 inches away to a foot or so from the object. ... "
" ... Cameras like this are a niche thing - but when you need one, you need one. ... "
" ... I wish the camera had even more clarity. ... "
" ... The inspection camera works just fine. ... "
" ... I love the 5MP (mega pixel) camera. ... "

" ... The wire part is at the right rigidity and can navigate easily thru turns in the car engine bay. ... I also used it around the house for hard to see places like inside the wall when I fished a new cable. ... "
" ... -relatively good cable stiffness for short runs ... - I never used the length of the cord beyond the first 3 feet, but it appears to be too flexible to run on its own any longer distance, you would probably need to strap it to e.g. ... "
" ... The camera works well for that purpose, particularly because the wire/cord is fairly stiff, which allows the user to direct it somewhat. ... "
" ... but cable flexibility and camera quality (5MP) not up to my expectation. ... "
" ... Great for fishing electric down walls, seeing where the cable is, very handy. ... "
" ... The semi-rigid cable is a great feature, in that it allows the camera head to be fed into spaces easily. ... "
" ... The new yellow wire is a good idea, 'cause it should be easier to tell which wire you are looking at inside a wall cavity. ... It weighs just about half as much, for starters, which is largely due to the new one having a longer wire (pic 3). ... "
" ... It worked really well as the cable from the camera allowed me to bend it and have it hold the bend for searching. ... "

" ... The lights on the end of the camera are wonderful and the bendable wire to position the camera is great as well. ... "
