Default Not bad at all

Those are pretty good pictures.
I am curious about the focal length of this camera.
It appears to be several inches.
What kind of camera is it and did you modify the neck to get it into the spark plug hole?

Not sure about the focal length, just assume it is very short since it is a 'dental' camera, real time pictures look better than captures, IMO. This is the camera and I modified it like this.

Yes I bought the HBF more expensive one $160. Reg price is $299 but always see it for $199 and with the 20% off coupon $160. I love it! Here's the big difference, it's CAMERA LENS PIECE. The $69 unit, you can NOT get the lens into the spark plug hole,it's too big. The $160 unit is smaller and I felt it a lot better unit all together. You should be able to look at it at HBF STORE HOWEVER NEW COMPANY POLICY is if you take it home and bring it back there is a 20% restocking fee. I filed a corporate complaint against store policy two months ago. Salesperson said they couldn't open product box and that I would have to purchase it and THEN open the box in the store and at which time if I Didn't want it I would be charged a 20% restocking fee ($40).THATS RIGHT $40 just to look at it in the store. 3 People in line at the register behind me voiced their opinions about such a crazy policy. Good news you can now open box in store. Sad thing was when I got the camera home to charge the battery the charge light wouldn't go off. So back to the store with the defective unit. Second camera works great. I received a apology for the inconvenience for the first visit problems and on my subsequent visit was requested to see manager who welcomed me back to the store. It was a special treat to be welcomed back in such a nice manner.! Manager apologized for the inconvenience. I like the unit for inspections on my RV9A. Plus in wall inspections at home for electrical and plumbing are very easy with the bendable flex cable.
Hope it helps.

Default 'new' ish RYOBI bluetooth inspection cam

this one looked promising.....about $99 cdn. at Deep H.... ( sorry, just always call it that here!) Home Depot.
the cam end looks exactly like a cam I bought online for $40, but doesn't look like they come with 45 angle mirror, ( lots of those on eBay for $5 or so)

Looks like reviews of it are not good....at least not an engine borescope.

Default HF60695

Bought and used the HF 60695. Was on sale $189, -20%, so I guess I paid $151. Works. Note camera has better resolution than the screen by 2x.

As an added bonus, the nephews enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I want to know what they investigated with it (8 and11). It still works, which is knowledge enough.

HF guy said that preventing the ends from separating from the flexi is the key to life. Once it separates, it pulls the internal wires and that's it. I may heat shrink the first half inch of the intersection.
