$4 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LN3LQKQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 - Only needed to connect to android smartphone instead of laptop
Free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vaultmicro.camerafi&hl=en - only needed on smartphone
After playing with dental cameras shipped from China and other junk from harbor freight, it would have been cheaper to just buy the $$$ Snap-on camera from the start. Avoid the hassle and just buy this setup. Cheap and works perfectly. This has the articulating head, which is a must for the best picture.
Several different camera apps are available. I am sure they all work fine. Save yourself $4 and connect to a Laptop instead of an android phone.
Another problem with the other cheaper cameras, was with the LED brightness. Either too dim or too bright and they get washed out by the reflective Al or Steel. This camera adjusts really well. I could easily see cross hatching on the cylinder walls, what was oil vs. not oil, etc. I should have taken more photos to show how well it did. Ill do it later maybe.
