Teslong Borescope Inspection Camera, 5 Inch IPS Screen Endoscope Camera, 1080P HD Inspection Camera With Lights, 16.5FT Semi-Rigid IP67 Waterproof Snake Camera, Hard Plastic Case (Dual Lens)

As an automotive technician I have used many borescopes over the years for diagnosing engine concerns. This has been the best borescope I have ever used. Best features are the 32gb micro SD card it comes with. The length of the probe. The hard plastic case it comes in and the buttons over a touchscreen. Why, as a tech, would I want to have a touchscreen with oily greasy hands?? Just as an insight, the SnapOn dual camera setup is $1000, touchscreen and comes in a cardboard box with a plastic form liner.

I ordered the Teslong NTS500 dual lens borescope with a 5 inch HD IPS screen, front and side view camera, 0.21 inch probe, and the 9.8 ft waterproof semi-rigid cable back in August and have been really impressed with it so far. I have used it for several projects already - one them really required a borescope as there was no other way to do the inspection right. I had to get in a narrow area between the cylinder block and the firewall of my truck to see if I had signs of a coolant leak starting while I was still under warranty. It is a common problem in my model truck and usually would have shown up by now with the time and miles I have. Also, it is an expensive 8 hour job to repair at the dealer, so I wanted to be sure I had no problems (I don’t and probably won’t if it hasn’t started to seep coolant already). The borescope made it easy to feed the probe in through the fender well behind the front wheel, through a small opening in the splash shield, past the exhaust manifold, and on up and over the bellhousing to have a look at the questionable coolant tube. From above you can’t even see the top of the coolant tube no matter what mirrors and other tricks you try, much less the bottom of the tube where you need to look. Separately I ordered the Teslong Dual Lens 3 ft. semi-rigid cable for the NTS300 / NTS500 Endoscope having 6 adjustable lights and a 0.31inch probe with front and side view cameras. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZCTRVPK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). This was the probe I used to inspect my truck. I was impressed by the clarity of the picture on screen and of the quality of the photos I took, the size of the screen itself, and the build quality of this borescope and the 3 ft accessory cable. The side view camera worked really well when I got to the area I needed to see and I could easily switch between the forward facing and side view cameras using the switch mounted at the attaching connector of both cables. Between the 3 foot and 9.8 foot cables I can do most of the types of automotive or household jobs I am usually faced with. For my purposes, these were well worth the money. One thing I wish this unit had is a replaceable battery. Nonetheless, I feel it was an excellent choice for me.

Camera works great

The Teslong NTS500 is an awesome tool to use for a variety of diagnostic purposes. So far, we have used it to diagnose several car issues, and to identify an unknown odor coming from a small hole in the siding of a home. It has proven to be incredibly useful and well thought out. The dual camera has a bright light, which is helpful when looking in dark areas. It has the ability to take both photo and video and to save them to a micro SD card, something you won't see on other similar devices. As you can see in the pictures taken by the Teslong NTS 500, that is the piston on a diesel engine we were inspecting. The lithium ion battery is long lasting. When compared to another brand of scope, the Teslong is far superior. The camera probe is very small at 5.5 mm and can fit into the tiniest of areas, whereas the other probe we have is too large to fit into many of the spaces we need to see. This is a fantastic purchase if you do any car or home work. I am very glad to have this tool in my arsenal. I have a friend who is a mechanic and uses a different brand device and when I showed him mine he was amazed at the build and picture quality. Please see the video review for more information. I would recommend this to anyone!

What I like: -Teslong does a great job of packaging the product and including a quality manual. -The screen is higher resolution than what is otherwise available. -Additional camera probes are available and Teslong has been around long enough to expect them to continue to be available. -No glitchy/hacked app required for my phone. -Controls are simple and straightforward -Camera probe appears high quality and has a just flexible enough metal housing -Probe size is great and includes two cameras! What I don't like: -Cost appears higher at first, but once compared to what else is on the market, the product has a higher resolution, better build quality, and actual support. I like this product, it took a lot of research to find a solution amongst the sea of choices. Teslong adds value by supporting the product, which differentiates it from the competitors. Good luck trying to figure out a different camera option for some of these other choices on Amazon. I'll update my review if I run into any issues, but I don't suspect I will.
