SYANSPAN 7/9 Inch Screen or Display or HD 1080P of the Pipe Inspection Camera and Endoscope Monitor Aparts and Accessories

I found this camera extremely helpful for DIY sewer maintenance. It makes a huge difference to know what is going on in there vs. guessing. Cons: instructions are poorly translated / inaccurate as you would expect from just about anything you buy on amazon. Example: what is said to be a green light when charged is actually a blue light, on / off switch is labeled off/no, that sort of stuff. The screen is small but usable ( think early smart phone size) . the charging port is slightly misaligned with its hole in the case, so there is some jiggling involved in the plug in process (be gentle). The push rod coil is about 3/16" (5mm) so I'd call it usable but delicate. I've only used it to 15' and a few elbows deep. Hard to imagine it going 100' around a bunch of elbows but I haven't tried it yet. Battery is internal so not sure how that goes at end of life. Pros: Picture is clear and if the water is clear in the pipe you can see reasonably well under water ( i suggest getting it opened up with a snake first so you can flush out the murky water). I could easily identify large roots that had been cut through and smaller roots like hairs hanging from the top of the pipe. It is light and small, easy to carry. Tips: Tread lightly, I personally know several plumbers who have gotten their cameras stuck and had to break concrete and dig too get them unstuck. watch for holes in the bottom of the pipe that the camera can fall into and get snagged when pulling back. I'm not sure what the threshold is for how hard you can pull before the camera breaks off of the push rod, but I am sure there is one and you will be sad if you exceed it.

Besides the battery issue, this thing is amazing. Worked flawlessly. I was able to just use a portable battery pack, or keep it plugged in with the extension cord, which was no big deal for me. The cable is rigid enough to be able to force the camera down the pipe just fine. The camera quality is great. Overall 9.5/10. In some places this thing might cost less than paying the plumbers to do the same thing. I had an old sewer line that needed to be cleared. This camera allowed me to see that the debris was just the interior of the pipe rusting away over the last 30 years. Plumbers refused to even try to clear it and quoted me $14k to replace it (which def needs to be done at some point, maybe just not right now).
