I'll have to pop over to harbor freight and take a look.
I have a couple of engines that I would like to inspect.
5/8th won't fit through a spark plug hole I don't think.
Or would it?

Look for item # 66550 when searching on the site.  I couldn't find it
under "bore" "scope" or "borescope", but the number is on the manual
in the link provided.

I too want to know if the tip with go through a spark plug hole.


Matt-

 OK...you made me look!  I just removed one of the plugs from my 13b on
 the engine stand...and the camera fits as far as the threads only...it
 doesn't go down into the hole.

That's too bad.  Bummer.  I agree that it still seems like a neat tool
for doing all sorts of airframe inspection.


Matt-
From Jim Brewer:

Harbor Freight is a knock off of this item:

Now my comments...

Having one right here in my hot little hand to compare...the Harbor
Freight item is NOT a knock off...it is identical  (except for the brand
name!). Not only do they look identical, but the specifications and
information for each are identical.Come to think of it, after I
hefted it, it could definitely pass for a Ridgid product.

A search for "color inspection cameras" comes up with several different
brand names, and ALL of them are identical.  Looks like this is one of
those cases where China makes it and sells it to everyone who wants to
market one, putting their own brand name on them. The prices for this
unit vary from as high as $450 for the 4UCAM model, to Harbor Freight's
$99. The average appears to be around $250.  Dollars to donuts, Harbor
Freight is getting them from the same company that is making them for
Ridgid.

Also one of the accessories available for it is a 9.5 mm camera to
replace the 17mm one that comes with it (the camera and flexible cable
plug into the same hand unit)!  That WILL fit in a spark plug hole! It
also says that the smaller camera has a shorter focal distance for
closer and smaller work.

Two problems solved.  Now if only Harbor Freight offers that tinier
camera accessory as well and we won't have to pay the $100+ that others
are asking for it (for just the camera and flex cable...without the hand
unit and monitor). If I see one of the other brands locally, I'll check
out the smaller camera for fit.

Some other uses for this thing are looking inside electrical panels,
inside walls...and the best suggestion I saw in a Ridgid forum was as a
"home colonoscopy kit"!

I'm loving this thing more every minute! He, he, he....
