DXZtoz Two-Way Articulating Borescope, Industrial Endoscope with 0.33in Articulated Snake Camera, Video Inspection Scope with Light for Automotive Aircraft Mechanics- 5.5FT

I had a difficult plumbing problem and I wanted to see the problem before tearing apart walls and pipes to diagnose it. After looking at many different borescopes, I took a chance on DXZtoz product because of the price while still having 180 degrees of articulation. Ideally, I would get a 360 degree articulating borescope, but I can't afford it. This borescope worked perfectly and is very easy to use. I was pleasantly suprised that it came with a nice carrying case and even a 32GB microSD card already installed. The image is plenty clear and the light very bright which made it easy to see inside the pipes. As an added bonus, it can take still pictures and video, which can be reviewed on the device without the scope being attached, or you can pull the SD card out and view them on another device. Very pleased with this borescope! As a sidenote: I almost bought a 3 foot long scope, but am very glad I paid more for the 6 foot scope, it was just barely long enough for my project. If I were to buy again, I'd look for at least a 10 foot scope.

I have had 2 scopes in the past but this one is clearly way way better . The first thing I checked was the view it had before actually inserting it an a small opening . I was happy to find that is has a picture much like a camera , that is a wider view in that use . I find that can be very helpful if you have to first sort of finf your way and the actual entrance you want the probe to enter and see inside of .A good example woiuld be a project I am workinh on on my car . I am tryingto find an evaporator emmission leak . so I am laying under the rear of the car but I have to try to see over a crossmember of the frame and up around the gas tank where there are several com[ponents I have to try to look at to try to find what might be leaking vacuum . The camera is very helpful for this task . The resolution is great ,also the several available lighting levels, and the zoom options . Really great . The articulation of the head of the camera is probably the best feature of all . I used to think that a sort of fixed "fish eye " view by the camera lense was adequate . But I have found that the ability to aim the lense more specifically at different spots is a huge improvement . I am a professional handyman for a living . Sometimes I have to try to see inside drain lines looking for blockages or inside walls to help fish wires , as a couple of examples . I also work on my own vehicles . This scope is very helpful to see down deeper in the engine bay because cars are just a maze of hoses ,wires etc . I have also used it to get a good look inside a catalytic converter to see if the insides were in good shape . In summary this a very well performing camera which has very many uses that come up all the time if you are a guy who likes to work on a variety of projects .It makes things much easier and quicker to get completed . Money very well spent !

This relatively inexpensive borescope has been very useful. I originally bought it to help diagnose a plumbing issue, and since then have been using it to look inside vents and generally in tight place with no visibility. The minimum bend radius can be an issue, but the ability to bend the tip and look around a corner is very useful. The product feels nicely made and has worked reliably with indoor use. The instructions are clear and it is easy to use.

Very clear picture. Adjustable light intensity. The storage case is good quality and works well. With the quality of the picture and case, the articulated camera and memory storage, this feels like a unit that should cost hundreds of dollars more. Very please with this purchase.

I was surprised that such flexible borescopes had become so affordable, with handheld monitor, 180 degree tip flex, video and photo recording. However, it didn't address my need to identify the source of a roof leak without taking off the ceiling since a) the field of view was too narrow, and b) the range of focus was too close. I returned it but, had I had a plumbing or conduit application, it would have been an excellent choice. However, in future, I would seek some additional features: a) A "four-way" bending tip. This is a two-way tip that basically allows the tip to bend to and fro in one plane; a "four-way" tip would bend is two planes at right angles. b) The orientation or rotation of the image should be 0-360 degree, not the 180 degrees. The reason is that the flexible "endoscope" should be used at any angle relative to the monitor. c) There should be some form of wireless image transfer. I realize that such a feature would draw power from the Li-ion battery, but the current design has the mSD card at an awkward access. Perhaps a WiFi or Bluetooth feature powered by USB power plug in would be a good compromise. d) There was no mention of the "tips" included (a hook, a magnet and a 90 degree mirror) in the enclosed manual, nor did said attachments fit over the flexible tip; they were too narrow. In other words, the enclosed "tips" were not obviously designed for this tip. e) A battery level indicator world be useful. f) A replaceable tip with wider angle of view and longer focus would increase the range of potential applications. All in all, a very good, affordable introduction to a flexible borescope for the DIY user, but greater functionality and wider application I had to resort to ripping out a wide area of ceiling to find the leak; something that I had hoped a flexible borescope would have obviated.

I bought this DXZtoz two-way articulating borescope after seeing it reviewed online, and as a shop owner who has purchased plenty of scopes over the years, this one is by far my favorite. The picture quality is excellent,easily the best I’ve used. The way the tip articulates is extremely useful for inspecting tight areas, cylinders, and hard-to-reach components. The articulation feels smooth and precise, making it much easier to look around obstacles instead of just straight ahead. There are a couple downsides: the shaft is a little bulkier than most, and the camera head is larger than some of the slimmer scopes out there. But for the performance and image clarity, those are trade-offs I can live with. Overall, a fantastic scope for professional use.

Works great! Very helpful when inspecting cylinders in my motor and many other great uses for it. I primary bought for engine work.

The quality of the image is great. Design of the articulating camera is good. However, after six months, the unit no longer turns on. Dxztoz immediately sent me a new one without any fuss or excuses. Excellent customer service! I upgraded this review to 5 stars due to the service.
