Test the K&F Concept endoscope camera. With a cable length of approx. 5 meters, this is aimed at semi-professional users, typical areas of application would be e.g. B. examining pipes, cavities in vehicles, hard-to-reach places in shafts or, as in my case, testing a pellet silo. In terms of quality, the endoscope makes a really valuable impression, is heavy and very solidly built, even the supplied case could also be suitable for professional users. In addition to the case, the scope of delivery includes the endoscope, the probe including a 5 meter cable, a 32 GB SD card, two holders and an easy-to-understand manual. Here are the specifications as per the item description: - 4.3-inch color screen - Video resolution: 1280x720 - Photo resolution: 1920x1080 - The probe is waterproof according to IP67 standard - Probe diameter 5.5 mm - Storage of the supplied SD card: 32GB ( for photos/video recordings) - Battery storage 2600mAh (lithium battery) - The probe has 8 LED lights I've used it a few times now and can mention the following points: - The battery was almost fully charged on delivery, there is a USB -Type-C charging cable included, but no charger itself. But that's not too bad - any USB charger can be used for this. So far I haven't managed to drain the battery in my few uses, so I can't make any statement about the runtime. - The endoscope cable is a bit stiff at first, but after unwinding it can be easily bent into shape. Don't expect a 90° bend though, it's definitely too tight for that. An introduction in z. B. Empty tubing is a little tricky, the cable holds its shape but then conforms to bends when resisted. As already mentioned, some practice is necessary here. Ideally, two people should do the insertion, so one person can insert the cable and a second person then holds the screen. Since it is IP67, the cable could also be coated with a lubricant, e.g. B. soap or similar provided to reduce frictional resistance. - The lens head is a bit large with its almost 5.5 mm, here it is e.g. B. with drain openings sometimes narrow. With our sink I couldn't put my head through the drain grate, I had to remove the siphon and then put the cord through here. - The front camera is designed for a maximum distance of 10 cm, the side cameras for a maximum of 3 cm, that's enough for pipes and cavities . B. to visually check the fill level. - The LEDs in the endoscope head emit good light, even the darkest pipes are illuminated and you can clearly see the surroundings on the display. Unfortunately, the image quality when viewing the recordings on e.g. B. a PC then a bit sobering, despite Full HD for photos and HD Ready for videos. - Nice feature: the scope of delivery also includes a hook and a magnet for attaching keys, screws, etc. to fish out of pipes. Conclusion: for the required €129 you certainly don't get a bargain, but a very robust device that does its job. I can't compare it to other devices, but I'm satisfied so far. The quality of the stored images and videos could have been better, but they are still ok. I would give it 4.5 stars but then round it up to 5 stars.

have a very old house and do a lot of DIY work around the house so I actually only have a few different endoscopes which comes in handy from time to time. I love the fact that I can see what's behind the wall or in a pipe without having to tear it down or open it up, which is obviously a much bigger task to patch. I was so impressed with the K&F Concept brand endoscope and when I saw this articulating model I just had to have it and in fact not only is it the best endoscope on the market it blew my mind and saved me a few thousand dollars preventive claims settlement. Please read on to find out how this amazing articulating endoscope has helped me save tons of money. FIRST IMPRESSION: It came in nice retail packaging and inside the box was a sturdy zipped storage case that housed this endoscope in a perfectly fitted shape for maximum protection. The device looks professional and solid in terms of material and feel, which does not surprise me given my previous experience with K&F Concept products. The 5 inch IPS LCD screen is very clear and the buttons are located just below the screen to change setting and mode. DESIGN, SPECS and FEATURES: What really impresses me about this endoscope is not only the swiveling camera head, but also the way the movement is controlled. They really nailed it by using the dial joystick control in the center of the grip so it can be easily controlled with your thumb while holding the grip. Any other design or button would have ruined the user experience, but they really studied and gave the best possible control. Right next to the dial joystick control are the camera button and light button. It takes pictures in photo mode or starts/stops recording videos with sound in video mode. The light button toggles between different preset levels of brightness or turns off the light. Simply brilliantly made and placed in the perfect spot. I also appreciate that this is IP67 rated so it can be submerged under water to inspect anything that contains water and also block out dust or sand. I was impressed with the built-in 3000mAh battery which can last for days if not weeks after a full charge. The beauty of this endoscope is that you can see everything clearly on the 5 inch LCD screen, so you don't need an app or phone to use it, and you can take pictures and videos and then play them back from the device, to view it from the 5 inch screen, not to mention 32GB memory card is included. What's cool is that it also has a WiFi function that allows you to stream what you see on the 5 inch LCD screen to another smartphone or tablet that has the free app installed, so another person can also see what you're seeing, which is really cool. HOW IT CAN BE MORE AMAZING: I really love this endoscope and while this is the best out there I wish these improvements which aren't a deal breaker for me but would only make it more amazing. 1) I wish the cable was longer. It is only 5 feet long, but other non-articulated endoscopes are about 15 feet long. There may be technical limitations to making it longer as it has a moving head, but 10ft would have been better. 2) It would be amazing if the cable could be detached from the device and then attached to the bottom of the handle (current design) or the top of the LCD screen. This design makes it easier to work with the rigid cable, depending on whether you are looking up or down with the endoscope. 3) It would be out of this world if they could make the next model with 360 degree articulation! HOW IT SAVED ME MONEY AND TROUBLES: We recently had a kitchen remodel and replaced all of our kitchen appliances including the range hood. The new range hood we bought was much shorter compared to our old range hood and we can see the opening under the new range hood for venting which we didn't see before on the old range hood. I decided to use this articulating endoscope to check what's behind the kitchen wall and noticed that there was a badly rotted wooden frame due to a water leak from the roof. We immediately hired a contractor to fix the leak, but the repair could have caused a lot of damage and expense if we hadn't known about it years later. I am very satisfied with this endoscope in many ways. CONCLUSION: Easy 10 out of 5 stars. I cannot say enough good things about this amazing device. It's so much better than those endoscopes with two or even three lenses because it's easier to just move the direction of the camera than trying to switch between different camera lenses. It's also much easier to slide and move the cable if you can guide the endoscope's head in the right direction. If you are in the endoscope market, look no further and get this one and it will be worth the investment. Recommend wholeheartedly!

Since we have a family hobby workshop and repair our cars there for the most part ourselves, we can always use all kinds of tools and accessories. The Teslong endoscope camera is therefore a good addition to our workshop equipment. Everything that is specified is also included in the scope of delivery and on top of that the whole thing is in a handy case in which it is well protected and stowed. Of course, the endoscope camera is not only applicable in the car repair area, but also wherever there are inaccessible places where you have to see something. Due to the fact that the endoscope has three lenses, you can view the problem areas from multiple angles and even switch between the individual lenses. You can then view everything on the 4.3 inch color screen that comes with it. The images are surprisingly clear and easy to see. By the way, I think it's great that you don't have to rely on an app or a smartphone here. A kind of flashlight was also installed here, which is of course also useful in dark corners or in the evening. The whole story is powered by a battery, which I would say is in the middle range in terms of performance with its 2600mAh. Otherwise, the device is flawlessly processed, makes a high-quality overall impression and we are completely satisfied.

The article was made available to me free of charge for a test, but this fact is not reflected in my ratings. If something is no good, then I write it that way. Everything you need to get started right away is included in this set. The device and all accessories are delivered in a small plastic case. With some devices there is sometimes the problem that once unpacked, it does not fit back into the case. Everything can be easily accommodated in this without any problems, the space for this is more than generous. The main body houses the 4.3 inch color screen and controls. The whole thing is very robust and also feels valuable. The controls are easily accessible and also react very well to pressure. Operating the device is no problem with them. The only thing I didn't have any success with at the beginning was switching the cameras in the various menus. These are self-explanatory and clear, but switching here was not possible. There was nothing about it in the (not exactly comprehensive) manual either. But after a long search I found the button: It is located directly on top of the connector that connects the optics to the device. This is connected at the top right and is about 5m long. It's relatively stiff, but maneuvers well in tight spaces. The image quality of all three cameras is good, and the lighting is bright enough to make finer details visible, but not so bright that when you get closer to an object, you can only see it as a white spot. An SD card is also included. It's also big enough at 32GB to store lots of photos or videos on it. It is operated by a built-in rechargeable battery, so the whole thing can be used very flexibly, so you don't necessarily have to have a socket nearby. The battery can be charged via USB-C connector, the cable for this is also included. Furthermore, two tool tips are supplied, which can be attached to the camera. Very practical when, for example, dirt has to be removed in order to inspect the material underneath. In total, everything you need is delivered here for around €140 (as of 04/22), and that too in excellent quality.

So let's start with the workmanship and the design of this device, the quality is really convincing here and the price-performance ratio is at a very appropriate level! You get a nice little suitcase that shows the endoscope camera when you open it, it is cleanly processed and the buttons have a great pressure point! When you turn it on, the camera goes on and you can start immediately, for example when inspecting a vehicle! The image quality is very useful and absolutely sufficient! The device even has a small light on the back, which can be used quite well in the dark. On the whole, the device is handy and recommendable, so there is a purchase recommendation on my part, I think you can't go wrong here, well suited for workshops!

Put the butter in the fish - A solid camera that will come in very handy for the DIY enthusiast. It comes in a sturdy pouch where it can be stored. Processing is very good. That means the buttons can be pressed, the display is a nice size, the case is stable, the cable (I'll call it that) is firm, but still quite flexible, so that you can work with it well. We used it to check our floor to see whether the empty pipe was still in place to insert the sensor for the underfloor heating before we laid the floor. That worked very well with it. It handled the slight arc well, didn't get stuck in the grooves and the illumination was excellent allowing you to really see the entire inner tube. I can absolutely recommend it from that point of view. It is certainly more for home use in terms of image quality and Co., but in my opinion you don't do much wrong with it.

use an endoscope camera as a do-it-yourselfer mainly to explore hard-to-reach corners. The main area of application is the search for leaks in our caravan or other pipes. For this purpose, I once bought an endoscope camera for 200 euros, which fully serves its purpose. So of course I was curious to test what an endoscope camera that is five times as expensive can do and whether such a precious part is worthwhile for me as a hobby craftsman. The professional part is clearly better in terms of image quality and handling. It's all better lit and easier to see. The professional part scores particularly well with the color representation. The operation is very simple and you can control the camera well with the hose. The images on the display are clear and differentiated. You can record photos and videos on a memory card. However, my old endoscope camera also has this function. What the pro part has exclusively is the wifi connectivity. Images can be transferred to a smartphone using an app. This function is very useful when I want to show the images to an expert in a specialist workshop, for example. The workmanship and material quality are very good, plus there's a plus point for the robust and practical transport box. Conclusion: The significantly higher price is reflected in better image quality and more functions. The normal home user will not really need this as a rule and can therefore get by with a cheaper camera. However, if you use such an endoscope camera frequently and would like to pass the images on to third parties, you will find a high-quality tool here at a not cheap but reasonable price.

My first test arrangements were initially limited to the usual examinations of drainpipes, machine insights, ventilation shafts and computer inner workings or the search for small parts under the cupboard. After a little practice and variations in LED lighting, quite good images were consistently achieved, and in ranges from 30 to 100 mm also very sharp. Everything works intuitively right from the start and flawlessly! Absolutely sharp pictures. The endoscope was long enough and easy to guide. The illumination is really good. And the recording of the camera and the display on the display is very good, so that details can also be recognized. The whole design is also quite robust. What I like is that the cable isn't as soft as my old one. I can manage it much better. The case in which the device is delivered is also practical. Here you can safely stow the device. Compared to my old device, which cost around 90 euros, this is a significant improvement.

Have a small issue with signal loss not sure if it’s something that I’m doing wrong but for a cheap unit picture is great and easy to use. Contacted seller regarding the camera issue and before I knew it they were sending me a new unit. Great seller to deal with
