Was in Lidls today with Mrs Fergie and I went for an amble through their special offers bins that they have in the centre of the shop.
And I found an inspection camera for £39.99 - nice size full colour display and a long probe with the camera at the end which has a screw collar for the attachment to the hand held unit. All comes in a black poly moulded case.
This is about half price or so and it's got to be brilliant for looking inside those pesky cylinders to look for steam cleaning evidence etc - as well as whats goes on behind fascias, too.
Amongst other things - so if you've always sort of thought you could use one, hopefully your local store will have them.

@Pikey bought one the last time they were flogging them, handy bit of kit if they last any length of time.

Might ave to treat meself :)
 
Is it a complete self contained unit? I bought something similar from eBay but it needs plugging into a laptop to see the images.

Yes, self contained.
They used to be circa £75? A few yrs ago ,still quite cheap at that but I got one that plugs into an old laptop with an led bulb on the end from China for £17 and that works fine.
 
I have a cheep one of fleebay £10 and 10m long water proof, found an app to run it on me phone, come in handy for work.
 
I use a micro USB camera that connects to your phone. Only about £10 from flea bay and they come with a couple of extra attachments such as a 45 degree mirror and a magnet plus its is IP rated. When needed I tape it to a bit of garden bamboo.

Sorry just seen Brian's post above.

Common problem with them Alan. Had a couple like that. The metal strip takes positive from the base of first battery to go in and makes contact with the tab on the board to put 6 volts through. If the strip touches the edge of the second battery to go in you only get 3 volts to board. And you get battery low message. A small strip of insulation tape over strip inside battery carrier sorts that out. ;)
