I've been considering one for a while, the only thing that put me off is the "poor" resolution - you can get them on fleabay with a
2mp resolution and output to laptop which most of us have for less, but I've heard of issues with them.

The Lidl one does have a built in screen, 3 year guarantee and an IP67 rated probe, so it does add some value over ebay item.

Deal!
On the basis of that reccommendation I've just bought one. I wonder how long it will take to get here from Hong Kong?

Looking at the feedback from the hongkong folk I wouldn't be too happy ordering from them to be honest, hence having held off on that.

Oh bu66er never noticed that !
Still I may be lucky and the majority of the feedback is OK.

Seems like a fairly reasonable percentage to me, considering the volume of sales, 7 in 1000 chance of having some bad luck isnt bad odds.
I can only find 2 feedbacks relating to the endoscope over the 10 pages of his feedback, both good, so I wouldnt be too concerned.

Lets see who gets one first! Does it take longer to get to Scotland or England from Hong Kong - which is closer

I bought the Lidl one, can't be doing with fragile laptops and USB cables draped around when working on a car. Initial tests look very
promising with a surprisingly clear view.

Well not bad at all for a tenner, the lead is a bit floppy, but that can be fixed.
See it here on yootoob, I stuck it into my PC through a drive slot.
The actual picture on a 22" monitor is better than that

You really need to dust inside your PC
Just got mine, seems to work a treat, I've no problem using the old knackered laptop balanced on the workbench.

There should be a "blush" emoticon button, a 250MM and 3 x 90MM case fans have turned the PC into a vacuum cleaner

Ok, now they've caught up at the back....
What software are you using to use the camera? - I've had to download something (but it already worked on Skype earlier by just altering the
Video options).
