Teslong 4.5inch IPS Screen Industrial Endoscope with 1080p Dual Lens Inspection Camera Probe, 16ft Waterproof Snake Cable, Adjustable LED Lights

Good working well

Great quality video and pics can be captured by using this instrument. Very helpful in automobile field

Product is useful

Product was failed within the first day and after receiving the camera and it is not working. Tried to return the failed part the amazon was not ready to arrange the pick of the failed part and even blue dart also not ready to pick the return part. Which was disappointed me much than failed camera. Please don't buy the product and avoid the Amazon for the ordering.

I bought this endoscope to try to find the hole in my HVAC duct which was allowing mice into the vents (not into the actual house, thankfully; they were only inside the ductwork with the vent covers serving as a sort of "jail" which kept the mice sequestered to the ducts). The ductwork is in the crawlspace, but some of the runs are tucked up between the floor joists and hidden by underlayment...meaning I couldn't simply go into the crawlspace to look for holes. That's where this endoscope comes into play. I was able to feed the scope through the vent and down into the ductwork and did manage to find a hole (in addition to a bunch of junk). Since I was feeding it into a fairly large "pipe", it was a bit tricky keeping the scope oriented, as the semi-flexible cable may curve and twist as you feed it in. The more cable you feed in, the harder it is to control. Because of this, I think the 16 ft cable is the longest recommended length...anything longer will be too difficult to control in any space wider than a 2" pipe. I also highly recommend getting the dual lens camera. I found myself switching back and forth between the two cameras a lot. Often, the front camera didn't show much because it was lying directly against the bottom of the duct, but the side camera would show the top or side of the duct. The IPS screen is good quality and a nice size. Resulting video/pictures are good considering the size of the camera. I downloaded the pictures onto my computer and the quality actually looks a bit better on the endoscope screen vs my computer...perhaps because the pics are so much bigger on my computer. I've attached a couple pictures I took with this endoscope, both from inside the ductwork and also through a hole in my floor where a cable line runs (the previous owners of my house were lazy and drilled right through the floor instead of bringing the cable through the wall). This was my first attempt at using the endoscope and I'm sure my pictures will improve as I get better at holding the probe steady. I did find it difficult to figure out if I needed to push or pull to get the camera centered on what I wanted. Perhaps that will also get easier the more I use it. All-in-all, this is a handy little endoscope. In addition to household DIY, I could also see this being useful with car/engine repair. Who hasn't dropped a bolt or nut into a small opening when working on your car or lawnmower? The endoscope comes with a hook and a magnet which would help retrieve said bolt or nut. It also comes with a very nice carrying case.

What do I like about the Teslong MS450? 1) image quality (see photo); 2) side-view camera; 3) easy to use; 4) USB-C charging & computer connection; 5) great tactile feedback on buttons. What don't I like? 1) "switch camera" button location; 2) rigid connection at monitor. Image quality: As shown in the photo, the image from the Teslong MS450 is brighter and clearer, and has a somewhat narrower field of view when compared to the Depstech DS450. Both pictures were taken with natural lighting only - no artificial lighting from the endoscope or other sources. Both pictures were taken at a distance of 3 inches from the ruler in the picture. The field of view of the Teslong is about 70 degrees (this matches their claim), while the Depstech field of view is about 83 degrees. Depth of field on the Teslong (in my testing) is about 1-1/4 inches to 4 inches (also matches their claims). Side-view camera: A side-view camera comes in very handy when you can't approach the subject head on. For my purposes, an example of this would be reading serial numbers on rack-mounted equipment. Sometimes the labels are on the back, very close to a wall, or on the bottom, very close to equipment mounted below. In either case, you may only have 2 inches of clearance - not enough room to bend the end of the scope and point it at the subject. With a side-view camera, you can stick the scope in from the side in a space as small as a single rack unit (1-3/4 inches), and still get a clear image of a serial number or model number, without removing the equipment from the rack. Easy to use: the buttons are intuitively labeled, with the exception of the up/down buttons functioning as digital zoom (up) and 180 degree image rotation (down). My only real complaint about the interface is the location of the "switch camera" button - it's at the base of the scope cable where it connects to the monitor; a button on the monitor itself would make more sense. USB-C: some scopes come with micro USB - an interface that's on its way out. Sure it will still be around for quite a while, but I see no reason to buy a new device that uses a connection that's declining in use. I don't think this has anything to do with USB-C, but the Teslong is automatically "seen" by the computer when connected - allowing you to easily download pictures from the device. Some others (including the Depstech DS450) require you to fiddle with the menus before it's "seen" by the computer - and you have to do this every time you connect. Tactile feedback: the tactile feedback of the buttons is excellent, but I think this is more of a personal preference than an objective thing. Rigid connection: I think this is pretty much consistent across endoscopes in this price range, but the rigidness of the scope makes it difficult to manipulate the position of the scope without also having the monitor move erratically. Expect to use one hand to move the scope, and the other to hold the monitor stationary. If you don't, the monitor may end up on the floor, and I'm not sure how likely it is to survive such a drop, especially if you're on a ladder at the time. More flexibility at the base of the scope would greatly help with this. Overall, I think this is an excellent value, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an endoscope in this price range.

Update again in December 2024: The battery still doesn't hold a lot of charge but has improved since I tried it a month ago. It appeared that after a couple of cycles to using and recharging it, I can use it for longer each time. The video is the latest showing its charging status. The battery aside, this is a great endoscope in terms of the overall build quality, controls, and picture quality. Raised the rating back to 4 stars, with the understanding that some battery degradation is normal after 3 years. Update in 2023: I purchased it in 2021 and used it for a few times on cars and home projects. It worked nicely! However, now in 2023, I wanted to use it again. It was low on battery so I plugged in the USB-C charging cable and it didn't charge at all. I used different chargers/cables with the same result. You can see in the pictures the correct charging port was used and there is no sign it was charging. Couldn't seem to make it work now. I put it in the case and stored it in my toolbox/drawer when not in use. It was never abused. Very disappointed! =========== My original review in 2021 below ============== I've used it for car inspection and checking air ducts in the house. It works great! It comes with storage so you can take pictures and review them on the computer as well. The picture resolution is fine but a higher resolution will help especially when you need to zoom in on certain areas for details. Overall, this is a great tool!

Bought this for a specific task but can’t count the times I’ve used it!😌☺️😎

Seems to do the trick for seeing in the hard to reach places. It is movable and records pictures and videos nicely. I have used it to check under and behind the fridge and stove. Also have used to check for "creatures" or their droppings behind the fireplace.
