K&F concept Endoscope Borescope Camera - 4.3 Inch 1080P, 2m/6.5ft Semi Rigid Cable, LED, Orange for Auto, Engine, Drain Inspection
SKU: GW45.0020
I'd previously bought an endoscope that used wifi to connect to my phone screen using a custom app from the manufacturer, but found that they hadn't updated the app to layer versions of Android, so it's now unusable.
This device has its own screen, so no such concerns. The picture was better than I was expecting, and I was able to submerge the camera in a water tank to discover why a pump was no longer working. This saved me a callout fee for a plumber to come and diagnose the problem, so it has already paid for itself.
It feels like the right sort of price point to pay for a tool that I will only use occasionally. There are some extra little gadgets that clip on to the end of the camera e.g. a hook, a small magnet and a mirror.
There is no pouch to contain the items, but I will just keep it in the box that it came in - it all packs away neatly enough.

Item was delivered very quickly and neatly, item was then inspected. Everything was actually already assembled, memory card was inserted, endoscope already assembled and accessories such as Allen key, small spare screw in a small plastic bag. Switched on, battery and was almost 100 percent charged----- ready for use immediately, endoscope actually very rigid and the function of the LEDs as advertised or advertised. The LEDs on the side can only be activated, as can the camera switchover to the left / right view, by pressing the small push button on the endoscope (USB port on the camera). Provide the screen with a protective film and everything can be stowed away and protected well and securely in an associated case. Image quality for close-ups acceptable to good, but editing options to improve quality .... you can still get a lot out of it using an image editing program (but that's not a point of criticism for me, just a comment) .... but completely sufficient for a quick snapshot, inspection / assessment or short video sequences. USB connection fixed on the camera with a small screw, also has a reason because the cable is a bit rigid, it protects the connection in the camera from accidental loosening or breakage. The small support foot that you can attach to the camera is well intentioned but somehow not fully developed, unless you don't move the endoscope cable anymore, otherwise the camera actually does what it wants....slips back and forth or possibly falls .down Camera settings such as date, time, language, etc. can be set quickly and intuitively. Manual available ..... But you should take the time to check all the functions and familiarize yourself with the camera. If questions arise, the customer service provides or offers very fast and friendly support in a short time.....Great If the quality and customer service remain the same, which I hope, the camera is a clear purchase recommendation for me

The endoscope camera from K&F Concept is well made and is of good quality overall. The scope of delivery includes the endoscope camera and a description. The endoscope camera is easy to hold, has little dead weight and is very easy to handle. The screen can be tilted so you always have a good view. In the settings menu you can e.g. select the desired language, everything is clear and easy to understand. The endoscope camera is designed to be very user-friendly, the camera can be rotated 210° without much effort, all you have to do is turn the front dial. The 5.0'' HD LCD screen is very clear and the size is absolutely sufficient. The camera offers high-resolution image and video recording, which is stored on the internal TF card. When recording a video, the image and sound are recorded. The size of the memory card is 32 GB, which should be enough for a large number of shots. But there is also the possibility to connect to your own smartphone via Wifi and save and share recordings there. All you need is the Smart Endoskop app, which can be used free of charge. With a video recording, there is also the possibility of audio recording. The endoscope camera from K&F Concept convinces with a reliable functionality, the brightness is easy to control, the camera is easy to control. The recordings and live images are pin-sharp and reproduce the smallest details well. Overall, I think the endoscope camera from K&F Concept is well designed.

The endoscope is delivered in a sturdy case. A USB-A to USB-C cable is included for charging, an extra stand, an Allen key to loosen the camera hose connector and a spare screw for the hose connector. There are also two tools that can be slipped over the camera head, one with a rake and one with a magnetic head, to retrieve lost parts. There is a 32GB micro SD card in the device. A German-language manual is included. The processing quality is very good. All applications work fine. Switching between the three lenses is done on the camera connector, all other functions are attached to the display housing. The long hose is quite stiff, so that you usually need both hands to guide it. I understand that this rigidity is necessary to be able to guide the hose over long distances, but without the screen part being able to be fixed somewhere, it is very difficult to handle. The image resolution of 1920x1080 is ok, I found it a bit difficult to focus in narrow drainpipes. A distance of at least 3 cm is required for the front camera and approx. 2 cm for the side cameras. Despite the small handling problems, I really like the endoscope. With a little training and possibly another person to hold the display, it's very useful.

The shipping and packaging from Kentfaith is top notch as always. The endoscope camera from K&F Concept is just right. I had to run a LAN cable through the tube from my 1st floor to the ground floor and couldn't get through. This is very annoying because I have no other way from top to bottom. With this camera I found the problem and fixed it. The image quality and the light were just awesome and everything is just right. The processing and the quality of the device is P/L technically top. When using it, I noticed something that you have to take care of the device. I'll get a bracket for it or the manufacturer could install a magnet if the built-in technology allows it. The connection of the camera is connected to the housing with a locking system > TOP. The hose is also correspondingly very rigid, so that it can also cross any obstacle without any problems. The charging cable is included in the scope of delivery. The power pack is not on board for this. Nevertheless, I can recommend the endoscope camera with 2 lenses

I needed to check some exterior windows for maintenance and this super dandy little video camera holds up the (parked) ladder. I love this little tool.

The K&F Concept is an endoscope camera with two lenses. It is delivered with a sturdy hard case. In addition to the actual endoscope camera, consisting of a control panel about the size of a mobile phone (with a 5" screen) and a mounted endoscope tube, there is a charging cable (USB 3), a mountable support for the control panel, a magnet attachment and a hook attachment for the camera, as well as brief instructions in various versions Languages. A no-name 32GB card is already inserted in the control panel and offers plenty of space for recordings (more on that later). A charger is not included, but any mobile phone charger with a USB port can be used without any problems. The 2600mAh battery was with me fully loaded, so that you could start testing right away. Since an apartment is being renovated in the circle of relatives, there were various possibilities for inspection and recording. The familiarization with the operation works almost without operating instructions. The upper gray rocker is used for the lighting controlled and the photo/video recording is carried out.In the middle of the control panel The mode button (photo/video/playback), the setting button for the camera functions (resolution, date, shutter sound, language, formatting, etc.), the two scroll buttons for the menu settings and the enter button are located in a circle in the middle. In the lower area is the yellow-green rocker with the on/off switch and the button for the rear lighting device (torch replacement for dark environments). For wet environments, the camera hose is well shielded against moisture, the 5 meter hose length is also sufficient for expeditions into remote areas of pipes, shafts, etc. The illumination of the front camera with the 6 LEDs (dimmable) is good, the illumination of the two side cameras consists of only one LED, but this is easily sufficient for close distances! When switching between the three lens systems, the lighting also changes. After you have unraveled the somewhat rigid endoscope tube, you can get started right away. I had set the highest resolution (HD 1920x1080). I took pictures of a cable basket on a ceiling, a narrow pipe, the end of an old water connection and an old chimney. The recordings are sometimes taken with the central front camera, sometimes with one of the two side camera lenses. All recordings looked flawless and perfect on the screen of the control panel. Accordingly, I was disappointed on the computer with a large screen. Depending on the recording, the images are just 50-110 KB in size, so the quality on the screen (despite Full HD) is not exactly great. The sound is also recorded during video recording, the maximum video resolution is 1280x720 (HD ready) According to the product page, the front camera is designed for a distance of approx. 3-10cm, the side cameras for a distance of approx. 1.5-3cm beyond that, it quickly becomes fuzzy. In cramped ducts, cable ducts, etc., this is sufficient to carry out a quick inspection and visual check, but here too the exact distance must be taken into account, because the camera systems seem to have fixed focus lens systems and are therefore set to a precise distance. At the end of the old water pipe you can see very well how quickly the image can become blurred. The somewhat rigid hose makes it extremely difficult to adjust to the correct distance in some tight situations. At larger distances, such as the cable basket or the chimney shaft, the performance of the camera system is exceeded, here you really have to examine the entire length piece by piece with the endoscope tube for the inspection. Handling the endoscope system is not easy. On the one hand, the rigid endoscope hose has to be brought to the right place, on the other hand, the control panel has to be held and operated. This is extremely difficult without a second person. Although there is a small thread on the back, it can only be used to attach a small bracket that serves as a support. The thread is too small to attach the control panel to a tripod, for example. The accessories in the form of a hook and a magnetic holder are interesting for fishing out a lost key in a gully or a screw in a drain. The camera then supports the search. Conclusion: Basically, I think the endoscope camera is good, the workmanship, the accessories and also the control panel and its operation make a very high-quality impression and definitely justify the current price of almost €129. Anyone in the private or commercial sector who is often instructed to carry out inspections in narrow areas is well served with the system. The resolution of the camera system is quite sufficient for a quick inspection or a search in the private sector. However, if you want to document damage with pictures, for example, or work in the commercial sector, you will definitely want a higher camera resolution and a further recording distance of the lens system. Despite all that, I still give it the full 5 stars
