I like all the features of this little device. It is lightweight, simple to use, plugs right into my IPhone and once you orient your thinking and viewing, you see with clarity, no problem. I use it to take a sneak peak under the pool cover to check the water level to see if I need to drain any out…our winter pool cover is previous. I also used it to look inside the cylinder of a small engine I was working on. Very handy little tool. I also used it to find a nut I dropped in the bottom of my truck engine compartment. Found it! The picture is surprisingly clear and the device seems durable and well made. Nice tool to have in the shop. Read more
This camera works great. It is flexible enough to turn bends in pipes but stiff enough to push along the desired route. If anything, the cable is very long and it takes some management when only needing 3-5 feet. I like the variable lighting provided by the LEDs. I didn't think I would need the feature, but it was useful. The camera links to my Android phone perfectly and requires none of the standard fooling around to get it connected. I can recommend this camera!! Read more
This is a great camera for trouble-shooting in hard to reach and hard to see areas. I bought it to help me inspect the inside of a fuel tank that had a small leak and I couldn't find the exact location. This worked like a charm. The long cable is flexible enough to go where you need it, and rigid enough to stay in place. Picture clarity is great and the app is easy to use. It also comes with all the connectors needed for any type of phone. Highly recommended! Read more
Review: Endoscope: W400-B, App: Sup-Anesok1.0.60(28) running on i(Pad)OS 18.4.1 Good news: Endoscope works as specified: LED lighting, USB-C with USB-C female to Lightning as needed, captures images and video. The 5 m camera cable is long enough and still enough to get to the bottom of my engine bay. Connected as expected to my iPhone (lightning) and iPad (USB-C). Picture quality was acceptable for this price. I saw no real difference between color and monochrome capture in my low light engine compartment. The application is not ‘ready for primetime’. Image capture: An image is captured with a 1920*1440 image size with no EXIF data. It is stored with a filename containing a date and time stamp of the form ‘Image_yyyy_mm_dd hh_mm_ss_msec.JPG’ and also a 32 character random filename. When downloaded, Image_yyyy_mm_dd hh_mm_ss_msec.JPG is saved to the Sup-Anesok album in Photos. The JPG file is also saved in hidden folder named ‘.TakePhoto’. When shared and Save to Files, only the JPG with a 32 character random filename in a hidden folder named can be saved in a specified target folder. This is very unusual. Video capture: A Video is captured with as a 1920*1440 MPEG-4 movie with a filename containing a date and time stamp of the form ‘Video_yyyy_mm_dd hh_mm_ss_msec.MP4’. The video also has a 32 character random filename. When shared and Save to Files, they are both saved in a hidden folder named ‘.TakePhoto’ in the Sup-Anesok local files saved On My iPhone. The 32 character random file is saved to the specified target. The Video_yyyy_mm_dd hh_mm_ss_msec.MP4 is not directly available. It is not saved in Photos. This is bizarre. Workaround: Using the iOS Files app, you can search the Sup-Anesok local files for MP4. The Video_yyyy_mm_dd hh_mm_ss_msec.MP4 should be listed. Press and hold that file, GetInfo, then select the Where path, On My iPhone > Sup-Anesok > .TakePhoto to obtain a listing of the MP4 files. Select files and move to a visible directory. Application name Sup-Anesok is unusual and not descriptive. Sup-Anesok only works on iPad in portait mode. IMO, this is unacceptable but it is quite common on a number of non-iPad apps (SimpliSafe, AT&T SmartHome, eSword LT). I am quite sure iPad is not a big deal to some developers, but rather than force portrait mode, display in lanscape with black bars on the side. Read more

I own a number of “snake-type” endoscope cameras and this is by far the best of the low cost units! The very fact that it is powered off the viewing device and comes with connectors for about everything is great! It even pops up the appropriate app when plugged into the smart device - sometimes after months of not using similar devices you can remember just what app is required. I use these things when running data cables and fishing wires thru walls. Helps under what obstacles are present! Great device at a reasonable price! Read more
The camera works as expected, but the app they give you has an issue that makes the whole system more difficult to use than it should be. First of all, it's very hard to know where the camera's top, bottom, left and right are; just like the last endoscope I had (the one that this one replaced). When you're using this thing to work on something that you can't directly see, knowing where up, down, left and right are is kind of important. It really is. Secondly, the app lets you choose between 0 and 90 degrees image rotation - that's it. The app for the last one I had gave me 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees, which did help a little. And yes, I tried using the other app with this one. No dice. What is so hard about making the app have a variable image rotation so that these cameras are easy to use? I know this might sound a little nit-picky, but you'll never know how much of a PITA this is until you actually try to use the camera to do what it was built for. This doesn't really warrant returning it, but after trying to use it, I'll definitely keep a look out for one that has the user in mind when they built its app. Read more
