Camera Trick-

Many of you have probably discovered the surprisingly good fibre-optic cameras that WiFi broadcast to iPads and other devices, available onAmazon. I came up with a way to greatly improve their usefulness and accuracy for inspecting cylinders, valves, and even intake and exhaust ports. I used some safety wire, shrink wrap, and 24 ga tefzel wire to rig it up as pictured below. If you click on the photo in the middle, it should take you to a more detailed video, and the bottom pic is an example of using it even to photograph the spark plug hole into which it was inserted. Works like a charm with incredible control,

Nice idea! Which device did you get?

I’ve had good luck with this one and find the shorter lead better than longer ones- from the Amazon description, about $30:

NIDAGE Wireless Endoscope for Automotive Inspection Semi-Rigid Flexible Waterproof 5.5MM WiFi Borescope Camera Compatible Android and iOS Smartphones, iPhone, iPad (4.92FT)
 
Thanks a lot! I just spent $300 at Oshkosh! lol
