Hi!
Sorry if this is the wrong sub-section. I felt because this was video related, it'd be the proper place to post.
I'm looking for a good borescope / endoscope. I want one that allows me to plug the end directly into a cell phone / laptop ( / maybe tablet).
I see a bunch on the internet. I saw a review site that lists one as the absolute best out of all of them, but after doing some more research on that specific one, I found out it was a scam.
I'm looking for one at least 25 feet in length. Longer is okay, but I don't want anything shorter. Can someone recommend a decent manufacturer for one of these?
I am fishing wire and going from the 2nd floor to the basement is proving to be much of a challenge. There is no blocking behind the walls, which is good for this. So I cut a square in the drywall, where I want my faceplate, I use a drill and drill through the floor behind the wall using a 1 1/4" bit.
I find out where that area is in the basement and drill up with a 1 1/4" bit. This is how I'm picturing using this device. I will run the fish tape from the basement up to the 2nd floor. I will then use the endoscope / borescope to look through the 1 1/4" hole, find the fish tape, and hook onto it with the endoscope / borescope hook attachment. Then I will carefully pull the scope out, with the fish tape attached.
Yesterday, I ran one line, and it took me from when I woke up till 1am! I got the fish tape all the way to the 2nd floor, but getting it through that 1 1/4" hole took forever. I had to keep pulling the fish tape down a little, pushing it back up, hoping I'd hit that little tiny hole. I have a bunch of these to do on the 2nd floor and don't want to spend days just trying to get the fish tape ran.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
