SKU: GW45.0026
have a very old house and do a lot of DIY work around the house so I actually only have a few different endoscopes which comes in handy from time to time. I love the fact that I can see what's behind the wall or in a pipe without having to tear it down or open it up, which is obviously a much bigger task to patch. I was so impressed with the K&F Concept brand endoscope and when I saw this articulating model I just had to have it and in fact not only is it the best endoscope on the market it blew my mind and saved me a few thousand dollars preventive claims settlement. Please read on to find out how this amazing articulating endoscope has helped me save tons of money. FIRST IMPRESSION: It came in nice retail packaging and inside the box was a sturdy zipped storage case that housed this endoscope in a perfectly fitted shape for maximum protection. The device looks professional and solid in terms of material and feel, which does not surprise me given my previous experience with K&F Concept products. The 5 inch IPS LCD screen is very clear and the buttons are located just below the screen to change setting and mode. DESIGN, SPECS and FEATURES: What really impresses me about this endoscope is not only the swiveling camera head, but also the way the movement is controlled. They really nailed it by using the dial joystick control in the center of the grip so it can be easily controlled with your thumb while holding the grip. Any other design or button would have ruined the user experience, but they really studied and gave the best possible control. Right next to the dial joystick control are the camera button and light button. It takes pictures in photo mode or starts/stops recording videos with sound in video mode. The light button toggles between different preset levels of brightness or turns off the light. Simply brilliantly made and placed in the perfect spot. I also appreciate that this is IP67 rated so it can be submerged under water to inspect anything that contains water and also block out dust or sand. I was impressed with the built-in 3000mAh battery which can last for days if not weeks after a full charge. The beauty of this endoscope is that you can see everything clearly on the 5 inch LCD screen, so you don't need an app or phone to use it, and you can take pictures and videos and then play them back from the device, to view it from the 5 inch screen, not to mention 32GB memory card is included. What's cool is that it also has a WiFi function that allows you to stream what you see on the 5 inch LCD screen to another smartphone or tablet that has the free app installed, so another person can also see what you're seeing, which is really cool. HOW IT CAN BE MORE AMAZING: I really love this endoscope and while this is the best out there I wish these improvements which aren't a deal breaker for me but would only make it more amazing. 1) I wish the cable was longer. It is only 5 feet long, but other non-articulated endoscopes are about 15 feet long. There may be technical limitations to making it longer as it has a moving head, but 10ft would have been better. 2) It would be amazing if the cable could be detached from the device and then attached to the bottom of the handle (current design) or the top of the LCD screen. This design makes it easier to work with the rigid cable, depending on whether you are looking up or down with the endoscope. 3) It would be out of this world if they could make the next model with 360 degree articulation! HOW IT SAVED ME MONEY AND TROUBLES: We recently had a kitchen remodel and replaced all of our kitchen appliances including the range hood. The new range hood we bought was much shorter compared to our old range hood and we can see the opening under the new range hood for venting which we didn't see before on the old range hood. I decided to use this articulating endoscope to check what's behind the kitchen wall and noticed that there was a badly rotted wooden frame due to a water leak from the roof. We immediately hired a contractor to fix the leak, but the repair could have caused a lot of damage and expense if we hadn't known about it years later. I am very satisfied with this endoscope in many ways. CONCLUSION: Easy 10 out of 5 stars. I cannot say enough good things about this amazing device. It's so much better than those endoscopes with two or even three lenses because it's easier to just move the direction of the camera than trying to switch between different camera lenses. It's also much easier to slide and move the cable if you can guide the endoscope's head in the right direction. If you are in the endoscope market, look no further and get this one and it will be worth the investment. Recommend wholeheartedly!

I'm the owner and landlord, for repair work on pipes etc. it's not easy to get craftsmen into the house. For this reason I ordered this endoscope camera. It is helpful when searching for the error, the small camera is flexible, it is waterproof and heat-resistant. You can work with her on a car as well as in the water pipe. The device is versatile and has a very high quality. At this point I'll leave out all the technical terms and concentrate on the result. The camera works great and gives good results. It doesn't matter if it's dark or not. It is very easy to use and works intuitively. You don't have to be a professional to work well here. That doesn't mean that I can make a diagnosis, but the camera helps me to call the right tradesman and to repair some things myself. The price and quality go well together here, both are very high. Measured by the result but justified. There is nothing to complain about and nothing to complain about.

It's really a two-way rotary camera with good image quality. You have what you paid for.

The K&F Concept endoscope camera can be flexibly rotated through a 180-degree angle and can thus take live recordings from otherwise completely inaccessible places. Water resistance is at the top of the list of requirements. With IP67, the 4.3-inch camera also masters water resistance with flying colors. The 8 LED lights ensure that the waterproof pipe camera (IP67) provides a well-lit video image. The price of just under 300 euros (as of October 4, 2022: 299.99 euros) is certainly steep at first glance, but as soon as you have used the endoscope camera from K&F Concept, you save so much valuable time that the purchase quickly pays off. For example, anyone who has a small business and regularly has to carry out repairs on equipment that is very difficult to access will really enjoy this endoscope camera from K&F Concept.

K&F Concept endoscope camera. With a cable length of about 5 meters, this is aimed at semi-professional users, typical areas of use would be, for example, the examination of pipes, cavities in vehicles, hard-to-reach places in shafts or, as in my case, the inspection of a pellet silo.
Qualitatively, the endoscope makes a really high-quality impression, is heavy and very solidly built, even the supplied case could also be considered for professional users. The scope of delivery includes the case, the endoscope, the probe incl. 5 meter cable, an SD card with 32 GB, two holders and a clear manual.
Here are the specifications according to the article description:
- 4.3-inch color screen
- Resolution video:1280x720
- Photo resolution:1920x1080
- The probe is waterproof according to IP67 standard
- Probe diameter 5.5 mm
- Memory of the included SD card: 32GB (for photos/video recording)
- Battery memory 2600mAh (lithium battery)
- The probe has 8 LED lights
I've had the in use a few times now and can mention the following punks:
- The battery was almost fully charged on delivery, there is a USB Type-C charging cable included, but no charger per se. However, that is not a big deal - any USB charger can be used for this. So far, I have not managed to empty the battery in my few uses, so I cannot make a statement about the runtime yet.
- The endoscope cable is a bit stiff at first, but after unwinding it can be bent well into shape. However, you should not expect a 90° bend, it is definitely too tight for that. Insertion into e.g. empty tubes is a bit tricky, the cable holds its shape, but then adapts to bends in case of resistance. Here, as I said, some practice is necessary at the beginning. Ideally, you do the insertion in pairs, so one person can insert the cable, a second then holds the screen. Since it is IP67 rated, the cable could also be provided with a lubricant, e.g. soap or similar, to reduce frictional resistance.
- The lens head is a bit large with just under 5.5 mm, so it can be a bit tight at drain openings, for example. At our sink, I could not insert the head through the drain grate, I had to remove the siphon and then insert the cable over it.
- The front camera is designed for distances of max. 10 cm, the side cameras for max. 3 cm, that's enough for pipes and cavities, when checking my pellet silo is then due to the size of the image a little blurry, but it is perfectly sufficient to visually check the level, for example.
- The LEDs in the endoscope head make good light, even the darkest pipes are illuminated and you can see the surroundings well on the display. Unfortunately, the image quality is somewhat sobering when viewing the recordings on a PC, for example, despite Full HD photos and HD Ready videos.
- Nice feature: the scope of delivery also includes a hook and a magnet to fish out keys, screws, etc. from pipes.
Conclusion: It's a very robust device, which fulfills its tasks. I lack the comparison to other devices, but I am satisfied so far. The quality of the stored pictures and videos could have been better, but are still ok. I would give 4.5 stars, but then round up to 5 stars.

Great HD pictures. Use it for MX in my cars and planes. The pictures are from a Volvo engine. The Ralcam endoscope is very easy to use. Arrived on a charge that took about 30 minutes on/off.

use the camera mainly in the automotive sector. The pivoting head is really excellent for recording the valve seats and valves! The connection with the app in my case Android works without any problems.

use an endoscope camera as a do-it-yourselfer mainly to explore hard-to-reach corners. The main area of application is the search for leaks in our caravan or other pipes. For this purpose, I once bought an endoscope camera for 200 euros, which fully serves its purpose. So of course I was curious to test what an endoscope camera that is five times as expensive can do and whether such a precious part is worthwhile for me as a hobby craftsman. The professional part is clearly better in terms of image quality and handling. It's all better lit and easier to see. The professional part scores particularly well with the color representation. The operation is very simple and you can control the camera well with the hose. The images on the display are clear and differentiated. You can record photos and videos on a memory card. However, my old endoscope camera also has this function. What the pro part has exclusively is the wifi connectivity. Images can be transferred to a smartphone using an app. This function is very useful when I want to show the images to an expert in a specialist workshop, for example. The workmanship and material quality are very good, plus there's a plus point for the robust and practical transport box. Conclusion: The significantly higher price is reflected in better image quality and more functions. The normal home user will not really need this as a rule and can therefore get by with a cheaper camera. However, if you use such an endoscope camera frequently and would like to pass the images on to third parties, you will find a high-quality tool here at a not cheap but reasonable price.

I was provided the item free of charge for a test, but this fact is not reflected in my reviews. If something is no good, then I write it that way.
Everything you need to get started right away is included in this kit. The device and all the accessories come in a small plastic case. With some devices, there is sometimes the problem that once unpacked, it does not fit back into the case. In this case, however, everything can be conveniently stored again without problems, the space for this is more than generously designed.
The main part houses the 4.3-inch color screen and the controls. The whole thing is very robust and also feels valuable. The controls are easily accessible and also respond very well to pressure. Operating the device is no problem with them. I only had no success with switching cameras in the various menus at the beginning. These are self-explanatory and clear, but switching here was not possible. Even in the (not exactly extensive) manual was nothing to find about it. After a long search, I found the button: It is located directly on top of the connector that connects the optics to the device. This connects to the top right and is about 5m long. It is relatively stiff, but it can be maneuvered well in tight spaces. The image quality of all three cameras is good, and the lighting is also bright enough to make even small details visible, but not so bright that when you are closer to an object, it can then only be seen as a white spot.
The scope of delivery also includes an SD card. With 32GB, it is also big enough to store lots of photos or videos on it.
It is powered by a built-in battery, so the whole thing can be used very flexibly, so you do not necessarily have to have a power outlet nearby. The battery can be recharged via USB-C plug, and the cable for this is also included.
Furthermore, two tool tips are included, which can be attached to the camera. This is very practical when, for example, dirt has to be removed in order to inspect the material underneath.
All in all, everything you need is supplied here for about 140€ (as of 04/22), and that too in excellent quality.
