Boroscope recommendations?
 
I am in the market for a boroscope, mostly to do engine inspections. I am open to paying up to $300, if necessary.

Randy, There was just a big review on this subject a week ago. Go to the search box. Type in Vividia VA-400 Borescope review. Read all of that, and I think you'll be happy.:o

I haven't received it yet, but also ordered a AbleScopes on eBay. This seller accepted my bid of $99.50: http://m.ebay.com/itm/301862940466

This price seems to be the current going rate.

Works fine, but back to front and upside down......

Still - a good image :D

The software that they have you download has a correction for that....
Called Camera Fi.

I got mine (AbleScope), and ain't usin' no software from China. Even "protecting" that usb port. The resultant image is much better than anything I've tried for the price point. Of course we all want to take a look-see inside every time the plugs are out.

Coincidentally, mine was delivered today. Playing around with it at the kitchen table, I was impressed by the image quality.

My Chromebook and my Windows 10 notebook worked just fine with the camera, without the installation of any additional software.

1+ for the Vividia VA-400. I started years ago with one of the old straight pipe scopes, then bought the same dental camera Mike Busch is/was using, then got another scope recommended by this group. The Vividia is by far the best.
I hope no one comes along with a new greatest recommendation.

Got mine
 
I order mine from China thru eBay. It takes a while, 17 days, but it finally made it here. $99 good deal.

I got mine from Amazon with an Android tablet packaged for $270 I think. I only have Apple devices, so this package was a great deal with all necessary cords and a tablet with pre installed software. The quality is great, as others have said.
