I'm totally overwhelmed with this. I know to look for resolution and, I think, for an articulating head. I think. Any advice appreciated.
If it matters, I use a Mac.

I bought the VA980 at the Oshkosh special price. Used it when I got home and works great!
Hi Walt, are you able to look back on the valves with the teslong? Thanks.I just recently compared a Vividia VA-450 to a Teslong NTS500 dual lens, although the VA-450 was a bit easier to manipulate in the cylinder, the NTS500 had superior resolution at 1/3 the price.
Needless to say I returned the VA-450 and kept the Teslong.

Hi Dan, I'll have to invite you for lunch next time I have my cowl off, perhaps you can do a live demo of the VA-880!Recently acquired VA-880, far superior to the VA-400 I had been using for a couple of years...
I got the va980 for 300 and the air box for 80 then they gave an additional 20 off so total price was 360, no tax…

Thanks Mark and Walt - the side facing pictures are really great I believe for looking at the valve face and seat. This is hard (for me) to do with the VA-400 - but perhaps I'm just doing it wrong. The images I also find useful are basically 180° straight back from the end of the camera and the VA-400 does this pretty well. I'm not sure how the Teslong would get those images, but perhaps with the side camera and the mirror it can be done.Mickey - to add some detail to Walt's answer, I found this in the product description on the web page Walt linked.
"Two dual-lens options allow users to easily switch from a forward-facing camera to a side-facing camera to greatly increase their field of view."

Dave...I had a Vivida VA-400 and didn't care for the resolution nor the construction. I had to have it fixed once and it sits broke again in my hangar.
I have the same camera as Walt...just the updated version. The head deosn articulate but the camera is small enough to fold back on itself and go through spark plug hole. Here's a shot video I shot...
