Looking for endoscope recommendations so I can peek into different areas of the 914 (e.g., engine bay). I've never owned or used one. There are so many out there, but would rather go with something that someone highly recommends (vs. me choosing blindly).
Are there pros/cons of getting a unit that works with an iPhone vs. a standalone until? Thanks in advance. |

I bought a cheap one off Amazon recently that was supposed to be compatible with Androids. Had to download a 3rd party app and never got it to work that way. Also tried with my laptop and worked but was a pain due to the size (of the laptop). I’m sure there are good ones out there but best to get a recommendation on model.
I finally kicked down and bought a stand-alone one from Harbor Freight. Still reasonable price and so far happy customer. |

My android one isn't bluetooth, it's WIFI. The WIFI password is in the instructions, mine is 12345678. Once I figured that out I had no problems. I use a tablet, the phone screen is too small. You want the smallest head diameter. |
