Best Hobbyist / Home Repair Mechanic Borescope for 2025

[MaximumMini]

Got a cheap borescope as a gift last Christmas. It's "ok" but low end and doesn't take photos or videos.

Amazon has a few under $100 offerings
Vevor and Kaiweets

Anyone using either?

Any better ones for under $300 ?

Thanks
The cheapo that I got as a gift has a tiny camera. Too bad it doesn't take photos and the image is sub par.
Still, VERY small camera.
Hope that doesn't mean what I have is as good as it gets

What are you looking for?

I have this one - it cost $45. It will take picture if you add micro SD. Won't win any awards but it was good enough for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT2CX59S

Now if you really want good resolution, I am sure there are many better.

I wouldn't buy one unless it had an articulating head. Like to see the valves inside a cylinder and otherwise look around.
