Just wanted to relay the utility of this cheap-o USB borescope.  I bought one on Amazon for $15 - and simultaneously I bought a more expensive one to compare.  I ended up returning the more expensive one (with a goose neck, etc), in favor of the cheap-o.

It was helpful to look for loose connections when I was troubleshooting a wiring short far behind the panel.

It takes pretty good pictures of valves.  To do this I bend it back on itself and duct taped it to a stiff wire. 

Good stuff

It comes with a mirror, why the bending back? 

I have a very similar one with a mirror- the mirror view is worthless, so I replaced with a dental camera. Taping the wire to it is a great idea I didn't think of

Amazon delivered the camera today...  I'm pretty impressed just playing around with it. It works great with my Mac without any need for drivers. The mirror attachment fits very tight and gives a nice clear picture... after I removed the plastic film protecting the mirror. The plastic film is almost imperceptible  but is there and should be removed.

I don't know when I'll get a chance to shove it down a cylinder but I'm looking forward to trying it out.
