Best tool purchase I've made in a long while. I'm very please with this scope. I've used the ones that wirelessly connect to your phone. Hands down those are junk compared to this guy. The focus is great, you can see throughout the cavity your peering into. The other one I used would only focus within 5-8 inchs. What good is that if you need to look into a wall or down a wire run. The LED lights on the camera head are bright enough to blind you. It comes with a nice case and head attachments, mirror, hook and magnet. I bought this for boat repairs and it's paid for itself in one use.
The only strike against it is the LCD screen viewing angle isn't great, you have to be looking dead on. This can be tough when you are trying to guide the camera with two hands inside the cavity you're searching.
If you're kicking around which unit to purchase, between the wireless phone el cheapo or this one, there's no competition. This one takes the prize. Spend the extra couple of bucks and you'll have a tool that you'll want to keep at hand all the time.
