Borescope
Check this out. I had a member on my Lee Loader forum recommend a USB borescope for your phone to be used observing the primers on the Load-Master press. After I looked at the dimensions of the camera, I thought it might make a great tool for looking at all kinds of stuff!
Here are the picture I took of the bores on my Savage 10FCM Scout and SMLE No. 5.
Here is a link to the unit I bought on ebay, there are a number of others offered that are similar: Borescope

Re: Borescope
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered one. Will be able to use it in engines also.

Re: Borescope
Lots of transliterated Chinese in the listing. Says android. Wonder if it works with iPhone 6?
As to the above, sure beats the $700 unit from Snap-On.
I've been borrowing one of those from a peer for years.

Re: Borescope
Support Systems: Android/Windows 2000/xp/ Vista/7/8/10 so I would say it doesn't work with the iPhone but a search provide one that does.GasGuzzler wrote:Lots of transliterated Chinese in the listing. Says android. Wonder if it works with iPhone 6?

I think I recently priced a unit for a program at work. Not sure what I used as the basis of estimate for it, maybe McMaster-Carr.

Re: Borescope
$12 is going to be heck of a price to beat.
Pity it's not 4.5 to 4.75mm diameter head though. Looks like they have some at 5mm with lower resolution.
Also looks like generic apps through the google store may drive it.

I'm going to download the product's app today. The generic app has a busy string of ads while you are trying to use the camera.Archer wrote:$12 is going to be heck of a price to beat.
