BITOG approved borescope for 2024?

Disn't sa

Other than a 50' cable, why would you say it's better? I feel like for automotive an articulating head is preferred?

Y it was, just was replying to the post with the link that it wasn't the one I was talking about.

I've got this one:

Probably (definitely!) overkill for automotive use. I've been eyeballing this one for more general use:

M12 unit is like $450 though.

Nice! It could even be the Depstech with a different name, but those can sometimes be dangerous assumptions with Chinese manufacturing.

It seems these all have internal, rechargeable batteries? If so, that's probably what concerns me the most about long-term reliability

The Ralcam has replaceable 18650 batteries so no fear of internal batteries. As far as the reviews go I can see where any articulating scope can be damaged, bring the joystick back to center before changing the angle and do not try to steer it while forcing it, you will damage the cables inside.

Look at the F606B

You can look at the workings closer in the F6B manual.

This in German but he test a model of the Ralcam with 8mm head vs a 1800 Euro Hazet, he is amazed at the difference.

Thanks for linking the user manual. There is a discrepancy for resolution between the Amazon description (720p) and the manual (1080p), so I initially looked past it.

I guess I’m in for an F606B, and a comparison between it and the other one I bought.

My bank account by the end of this:

5mm articulating head with dual cameras though. Plus it would match the rest of my tools which is worth at least $100, lol.

Nothing on Milwaukee's site suggests the cable is articulating? I also don't see a joystick-esque control.

I need to watch some video reviews. Milwaukee is TERRIBLE about stating all product features on their website and has been for decades IME

Shoot, I think you're right.

I too would LOVE one that worked on my dozens (and dozens) of Milwaukee batteries. No worries about state of charge if I leave it on a shelf for 15 months -- just grab a battery off one of my six wall chargers and go!

I have these two. They both work very well.

How are those different or better than this one?

I have no idea. There may be some differences between the specs but I have not compared those between all three.

I was using a Deepstech for awhile, still do if I need to get somewhere over 3' away, but this has replaced it.

The fact I can enter a spark plug hole and look back at the valves/combustion chamber is very nice.
