Default TV camera for riveting wing skins?

One of our local RV-9A builders found a miniature TV camera at an electronics store, a little cube about 0.75" on each side. He showed us that he can tape it to a stick & use it to see inside his leading edge. Just hooked up to his TV & gave a great image.

I just went thru riveting my bottom skins on one of my wings in preparation to fitting them to the fuse & there were several places where getting a bucking bar in the right position sure would have been easier with that little camera--an idea I had after the wing was done, of course.

Has anyone tried that? I still have another wing to do...

Default Rigid See Snake

This is what i use. Comes in handy from time to time.
36" flex cable with a color camera on the tip and a 2 1/2" display on the hand grip.
I paid $200 Canadian (wholesale). BTW the camera head is water proof to ten feet.

I think Home depot offers this item in the US
