Works great, fantastic price!! - I purchase this borescope after watching the EAA webinar titled Borescope Ascendancy, which talks about the huge benefits of using a borescope to view the inside of your cylinders, over just doing an engine compression check. The borescope arrived very quickly, in good condition, and in a fantastic metal storage box with the instructions printed right on the front. It was also packaged in a cardboard box which I will also use to store it and keep the dust off the metal box. Luckily, it was annual time, so I got to use the borescope soon after it arrived. It connected easily to an old Samsung Galaxy III phone that I had laying around. I just used the phone to go directly to the company website and downloaded their app. Opened the app and plugged in the borescope and it worked perfectly right out of the box. It is simple to use and I was amazed at the clarity! The articulating tip makes it easy to see in every direction inside the cylinder. I was able to take lots of still pictures to document the condition of the inside of the cylinders and even tried a little video (not sure why you'd need video, though). After its impressive results inside the engine I used to it view inside the inspection openings all over the plane and took more still shots for documentation. I absolutely love this borescope. Simple to use and you can't beat the price! The only negative I've found is trying to replace the small blue rubber cover. There is a tool and good instructions, but it does take a little practice to get the hang of it. Review: Really impressed with this borescope - This thing really works! I bought 4 low cost endoscopes/borescopes with led lights that are not bright enough to get good images in dark places and are hard to point at what I want to look at. I use this for checking aircraft cylinders and it is as good or better than borescopes costing $5000. Hooked up to my computer, it provides bigger, brighter pictures than the $5000 scopes and it is easier to save pictures. It takes me about 2 minutes per cylinder to inspect both valves, the piston and the cylinder wall taking pictures as I go. Then I can share the pictures with the owner and save the pictures for my records. Since the cord is aligned with the articulating tip, I know where I am looking. I have included photos of a cylinder with good valves but where piston slap and a sliding wrist pin has worn the chrome cylinder wall plating showing that the cylinder, piston, wrist pin and rings need to be replaced long before failure. I have also included a photo of a brush (taken in a dark room) to show you the detail this is capable of. I use this with both my Windows 7 computer and my Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I recommend this Rigid Borescope.over the more expensive ViVidia VA-800 USB Flexible Borescope for inspecting cylinders because it is easier to position the probe. I still have the cheap scopes (with a bright flashlight) for inspecting hard to reach areas in wings, tails, under floors, etc. The only negative criticism I have so far is it comes in a padded cardboard box for shipping. It would be nice if it came in a padded plastic box for shipping and storage. ## Features - Direct USB connection to Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook - Compatible with iPhone and iPad using the optional U2i Adapter or Wi-Fi Box (Sold in bundles or seperately) - Over 180Β° articulation with push-and-turn articulation locking feature (locking is back by popular demand) - Full HD 1280x720 resolution with high-quality CMOS sensor - Six built-in adjustable LED lights for optimal illumination - Camera shutter and brightness control button ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00GY7C9ZW | | Best Sellers Rank | #206,291 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #347 in Borescopes | | Brand | VIVIDIA | | Brand Name | VIVIDIA | | Color | Metal | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 204 Reviews | | Included Components | item | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Manufacturer | Vividia Technologies | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | VA-400 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | VA 400 | | UPC | 858499002834 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** VIVIDIA - **Color:** Metal - **Item Weight:** 12 ounces - **Material:** Metal - **UPC:** 858499002834 ## Images ![Ablescope VA-400 v5 Rigid One-Way Articulating USB Borescope 8.5mm/0.33" Diameter 42cm/16.5" IP67 Waterproof Probe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UAUlmbW8L.jpg) ![Ablescope VA-400 v5 Rigid One-Way Articulating USB Borescope 8.5mm/0.33" Diameter 42cm/16.5" IP67 Waterproof Probe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Csy-zY2cL.jpg) ![Ablescope VA-400 v5 Rigid One-Way Articulating USB Borescope 8.5mm/0.33" Diameter 42cm/16.5" IP67 Waterproof Probe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Hej9grxJL.jpg) ![Ablescope VA-400 v5 Rigid One-Way Articulating USB Borescope 8.5mm/0.33" Diameter 42cm/16.5" IP67 Waterproof Probe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41sFz2smhNL.jpg) ![Ablescope VA-400 v5 Rigid One-Way Articulating USB Borescope 8.5mm/0.33" Diameter 42cm/16.5" IP67 Waterproof Probe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51khtfI9vVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love it!
