Aldi inspection camera - any good?

Yup. Bought on a whim, used a few times to look into voids etc which it was ok at.

Built in led is understandably small so weedy , & focus is set close to the lens to capture detail I spose, but extra light sources (led torch) help the former, & you can work around the latter.

I have the exactly similar Lidl version, which has come in handy a fair few times over a few years.

Sometimes you need more light (torch), the focus is set close but that's ok usually.

Can't think how I would have done what I did without one..

Has anyone got one? £40

I wanted one of those but none left when I went in :-(

I managed to find a few reviews of a previous model and it sounded worth a go.

Have got one and it certainly seems very good. The flexible camera bit is a metre long but but can buy a 3 metre one for about £25 by post and connect three of those together if you want.

You can buy endoscope cameras to work with a PC/Smartphone for about £10 usb (£20 wifi).

I have a wifi one. Apart from only having a focal range of a few cm, it works.

What advantage does the Aldi one offer?

Well, it's self contained and independent of any other tech, which is good if you don't want to get your laptop/tablet/phone dirty or if you want to let someone else use it without any installation or the need for additional tech.

overpriced, and it's aldi, whose tools I've not found at all reliable.

Are those your videos on pornhub ;-)
