I got mine this morning, too. I took a quick look to see if HF had a plastic box the foam padding would fit in, but I didn’t have enough time to do a thorough search. From what I could tell, one of the compartmentalized plastic boxes seemed just about perfect except for the handle. I suspect the scope items could be reconfigured in the foam for a nice fit, but I couldn’t tell for sure. Anybody find a good plastic storage box for it yet?

Good Afternoon Harley and All,



Went to Harbor Freight this morning and picked up my unit.



I also learned something that many of you may already know. When you receive a Harbor Freight Sale flyer, the ones that need a coupon to get the lower price are the ones that have a barcode included in the ad. If you do not have the flyer with you, they generally have the flyer available in the store, but you will NOT get the sale price unless they can a scan the barcode on the advertisement.



The little monitor and camera did not have a barcode so you would get that price without any effort on your part. However, I did pick up a few other items that were cheaper by having the coupons available to be scanned.



Happy Skies,



Old Bob

Another day, more testing of this neat little camera! This morning (a very rainy, wet morning here...good day to play inside! <G>), I set it up in my "computer room" (a converted bedroom on the west most end of my house), disconnected the monitor and walked around the house.

I had a steady image until I got about 25 feet away, in the hall to my kitchen, but even then, never totally lost the image in the house. Went out into my attached garage (~60 feet from the camera) and also down into the cellar.

What did happen was that I would start getting a couple of regular horizontal flash-like lines as the signal became weaker...never bothered the readability of the image though. The only time I lost the image altogether was when I went out into my front yard. But it returned immediately if I backed up a couple of feet.

What this all means for me, is that I can set the monitor up to record to the computer in the computer room, and check out things just about anywhere in my house, including the garage and cellar. Of course things may change when I start moving the camera instead of the monitor!

Found another similar device online that uses a separate monitor, and can be recorded directly into the monitor. The V-Snake ( www.privatebrandtools.com/wireless.htm ). But the base unit (without the record function) is $500, and the recording option adds another $400 to the price.

Harley


Carlos...the monitor slides off and can be viewed without being attached to the handle. No wires. It takes awhile to get used to the fact that to work, the monitor POWER has to be on (I assume that turns on the receiver), the HANDLE has to be on (the transmitter as well as the camera and the light) AND the monitor display has to be turned on.

Maybe that's why they permanently mounted the monitor in later models...without the transmitter and receiver, only need one switch to do it all!

I played with it last night and took the monitor two rooms away from the camera and still had a picture...have no idea how far it can be removed (the instructions say it can be used "in close proximity" to the handle...) but a couple of rooms away allows you to have the monitor close to a tape recorder or computer if you want to save the video you are looking at without having the recording unit in the garage or near the work being examined (it comes with a cable to output the image for recording or storing.)

I saw a big advantage to being able to disconnect the monitor when I was playing around last night. When you are moving the camera by either the flexible cable or the handle, it's a big help to have the monitor standing still in front of you while you maneuver the camera.

It looks like the newer models that Ridgid is still selling under their own name, no longer have that option.

Can somebody please explain why is it advertised “Wireless Inspection Camera” and it comes with “3 ft flexible extended tube” ?
Is the “wireless” referring to the (battery) power only?

We've had several problems with AVG and e-mail (I work in computing

far. I can't say that every version of AVG has a problem, but most
definitely some do.

I've been thinking about a device such as this for some time and want to thank all of you who have and are contributing to the thread. This is certianly a good price and I intend to get one in a couple of days if my Tulsa store has any; which a lot of times they don't have what is advertized because of POOR, or lack of, management.

I was curious about the apparent lack of focus for close ups and wondered if the camera could be replaced with a better quality? I get catalogs from suppliers of security equipment that has all sizes of these little cameras and they are relatively inexpensive.

Maybe one of you fellas with the proper skills could look into this and also check the spec's on the RIGID brand accessories smaller camera, or whomever, and see what it's capabilities are.

This thread got me curious as to what other borescopes in the $100-$150 price range were available.  Here’s a list of a few. I don’t know squat about any of them.

http://tinyurl.com/n4sgbo

http://tinyurl.com/m5kscj          Dental camera, seems to offer serious detail viewing

http://tinyurl.com/nsegl4           fiber optic, no light, no power reqd

http://tinyurl.com/me83ut         powered by USB port

http://tinyurl.com/mqu9vk

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=95833 Another HF borescope…$300

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=91565  HF again, $200

Test 2:

Ok, html is explicitly off and scanning outgoing messages is off in AVG.
