Bought one of these after some of you pointed out the $15.50 flash sale on Amazing.

I have owned (3) cameras like this and used a couple more at work.
This is, by several orders of magnitude, the best inspection camera I've ever used.
Spent the morning using it on my latest motorcycle restoration, and the resolution, lighting, focal length, small diameter, the side view lens, and color were just amazing!

I only have two complaints/comments-
1) I wish the body of the camera was heavier or had a clamp on it; with the cable in one hand, and a tool in the other, the camera body kept getting dragged around, usually at the most inopportune times. (needed a 3rd hand)
2) I wish I had bought a second one for my place in the high country. :)

Thanks Guys!

I just looked at several Phone mounts, they all run more than what we got the camera for:
But I think I found one to solve this problem.

How easy is it to direct the end of cable? I could use something like this to inspect the inside hull of my boat given the long cable, but I wonder if the cable is rigid enough to be somewhat guidable on a long run in a large cavity such as under the deck of the boat.
