I got the Aldi version a while ago, used it a few times now, good bit of kit.

I was looking at one in lidl the other day. i was wondering what they were like.

That would be useful if it fitted through the bolt hole of the brake drum, so i could see where the handbrake adjuster is. Struggled to see it when i had to adjust them last time.

ebay has them that connect to a android phone for around £10

Do they have the option to record the video ? or is it just live viewing only ?

 

[mr migwire]

the one i have has the AV output which you can connect to a dv recorder or monitor etc.

there quite good but the little 3 led bulbs on the end are a let down. ive taped a decent light on the end of mine for looking in roof voids and under floors

You can buy cheaper versions on ebay that connect to a computer, Not as good as the Aldi/Lidl hand held ones but only cost about £6-00.

Aldi are doing an action cam too, the sort of thing you clamp on your bike handlebars or clip to your dash board.

Just be careful with the cheap ones on ebay, the heads are quite large and don't fit down a standard injector tip bore to inspect the inside of a cylinder.
I'm searching for one which is 5mm or thinner for this reason, snap on bore scores are 4mm and glide in but they are mega bucks and I don't use one enough to justify the large price tag.

What's the size of the Aldi one then ? it looks quite small.... fingers crossed.

I think the Aldi/Lidl ones are about 7.5mm or 8mm dia, Great image quality too

 

[Johnseat]

The one a lad at work has got is the 7mm and the image is fantastic but it can't look in cylinders ect...
I'm going to measure an injector tip tomorrow and hopefully it'll be slightly larger than 5.5mm so I can can buy the smaller 5.5mm android endoscope on ebay.
