Industrial Endoscope Dual Lens Inspection Camera 1080P HD, 5.5mm with Metal Cable and 4.3' IPS Hard Screen, 8 LED Lights Hydro Camera, 20M(65.6FT)
SKU: GW45.0010
I got this unit for free to do an impartial review.The HD Endoscope is pretty nice unit, it's simple to use and has a pretty good camera.Construction is above average but could be better at this price point. I like the all in one nature of this unit as my old one required a WiFi hookup to my phone.The Good:1) The cable and camera are really Nice. This is my third Borescope and the cable on this one is by far the best one in terms of getting the stiffness and durability just right.2) The Screen has a pretty good resolution, I would not call it super HD but it is good enough.3) The controls are nicely laid out and the ergonomics are good but somethings functions like getting a video recording to start takes a little time to figure out.4) The unit feels like it could take a table top drop onto a tile floor without a problem.The Not So Good:1) The lens on the unit has a very narrow focal length. It works great with wide areas but anything to close causes a blurry picture. You can see the rifling in a 9mm pistol but it's not very clear. It is much clearer when I use it on at least 2" wide pipe. The same problem with the side camera, you got to be at least two inches away to get proper focus. This really comes into play if your searching for hair line cracks.2) Even though it has a great digital zoom on the screen the zooming is not recorded on the final file when making a video. They need a firmware update to fix this.3) Frame rate is low at times.4) Battery life seems to be about 90 minutes with constant use.5) Contrast in the image just looks too harsh. It's either to bright or to Dark. Changing light intensity does not fix the issue.

Sometimes its necessary to go looking at areas of the house you'd rather not. This scope discovered a little thing called mold in my attic (amongst other things) I'm not willing to go to far right now and it can be difficult to navigate the scope the further out you go. Seems no matter how many options you use (dual lens, light intensity, rotating the screen) my perspective gets disoriented especially in an attic. Thankfully it has a TransFLash card slot where you can store all your graphic moments. The battery charges pretty fast and holds a charge the entire day depending on how much light you're using. It's lasts longer than a cell phone battery for sure. The screen his bright and detailed and truly addictive I cant stop wasting time playing with this thing. I had no idea they were available to the general public. If only the lights were infrared, I'm not sure why I would need that, I'm sure its out there.

I like the L LIMINK MODEL AGC-430 HD ENDOSCOPE, BORESCOPE CAMERA as it has a bright 4:3 color screen and a convenient quick switch between front and side cameras. I don’t like that the unit is only provided with a 9.8' Video Snake and no permanent storage case.The AGC-430 camera is delivered in a cardboard box. There is no storage or protection case provided. No accessory case is offered on the product site. The unit is received fully charged and operational. The only assembly is a screw type attaching of the camera cable to the body of the main unit. The Lanyard is already attached and the 32 GB TF card is factory installed. This is a self contained unit requiring no additional add-on items to operate, record and playback pictures. It has the capability of both still pictures and video.For our test we used a dryer vent. It was 18 feet long so we had to look inside from both ends as the snake only reached half way. The plus is good resolution and focus. Adjustable brightness is a plus. The heavier duty cable allowed being able to push through without a kink. Good battery life during our use and test. The forward and side views with both having lights was a big help is seeing what we had to deal with. The ability to switch between the two cameras with the push of the switch at the base of the cable was a big plus and convenience.The CON is the lack of cable length. An 18 foot hose to be inspected and cleaned and the snake provided with the HD AGC-430 is 9.8 feet long. There is no way to twist the cable except to physically try to turn it in a way to see a particular area. The pictures on the screen were good but the stills recorded not as good. Overall we like the unit and it’s performance. Recommended. Four ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ StarThank you for looking at my review. If you found this review valuable please click on the Helpful Icon. Thanks

This is a reasonably nice endoscope camera and monitor. I didn't find it all that difficult to use after reading the instructions and exploring the features for a few minutes.The nearly 10 feet of waterproof camera cable will likely be more than I need for a lot of jobs, but it doesn't really get in the way and it's nice to have the extra reach if I need it. The metal camera cable is stiff and self-supporting up to about two feet, after which, the cable sags uncontrollably and will need support.The camera end is pretty impressive with the dual lenses and 8 LED lights. The addition of the side camera is very convenient, allowing you to switch views with the push of a button. With single camera endoscopes, you'd have to retract the cable and attach a side-looking mirror.And speaking of attachments, there are a couple included that are good for retrieval purposes: a hook and a magnet. The magnet is quite strong and could easily pick up a small part (a screw, bolt, nut, etc) that bounced away on you and rolled under or behind something difficult to move.The image is supposedly 1080p, but the monitor isn't even close to that, of course. Not a big deal, the image quality and clarity on the screen are more than good enough for utilitarian purposes. And you can export pictures and video using the included 32GB TF card, though playback on an HD screen doesn't really do much as the image quality isn't overly amazing begin with (but, again, good enough for utilitarian purposes).

First of all, the good stuff. The 5.5 mm lens is a great thing to have and can get into some tiny areas. The dual lens configuration is fantastic, as are the lights. The semi-rigid cable is really nice, it holds a shape once bent and returns to straight with minimal effort. The picture is good (although I had some visual fuzz that resolved without incident).My only real critique is that the interface is not very intuitive when it comes to capturing video, photos, and then returning to the camera. I figured it out eventually but a bit more guidance in the instruction manual would have been nice.This set up is fantastic for household use, one area for improvement would be an interface that allows the screen to be cast to a computer or other monitor. I specifically want to use this for teaching and demonstration of small features of bones and while the integrated monitor is nice, being able to send the image to additional screens would be a huge help in my work.

Really fun to play with , the camera has a great quality and clear image. It has two cameras one at the tip and one at the side. It has LED light as well.

Had a leak coming from my upstairs and it was ruining my wall purchased this to snake up the wall and find the leak. Worked perfect with no issues I have tried some in the past where the actual snake is rather flimsy, this one does not have that issue. Strong enough to go up about 5 ft no issues.
