Relatively inexpensive endoscope with great viewer clarity, but missing a key feature

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What’s this? )

For the money, this is a nice, completely self-contained endoscope and bore hole inspection system. I have an earlier DEPSTECH inspection camera and cable but I have to use my iPhone to control and view the inspection video. This system has a built-in screen on the handset. Certainly, more expensive endoscopes have more features but this is nice to place in your tool bag and have it handy for inspections. Reviewers have commented that the user cannot capture images and that there is no control over the tip. You will get these features but the price will most likely more than double. That being said, it is too bad that DEPSTECH does not include at least one of the mirror tools that can be affixed to the end of the cable for side viewing. They do include the hook and magnet tools but none of their 3 available mirrors.

PROS
• Completely self-contained endoscope with a controller/viewer, i.e., no smartphone is required.
• Charging cable with USB-A at the charging end and a USB-C connector at the endoscope.
• Controllable, LED lights facilitate viewing.
• Digital zoom.
• Good, relatively high resolution screen that is large enough to be useful.
• Two tools (hook and magnet) are included.
• A very brief, multilanguage booklet-style manual is included.

CONS
• Case must be purchased separately but excluding the case does keep the cost down.
• Presumably, to keep the cost down, there is no ready way to capture the images. This would have been a very useful feature but, then again, it may have increased the price.
• A side-viewing mirror tool (there are three different angles available from DEPSTECH) is not included. Certainly, including one would have made this endoscope more useful and should not have added too much to the cost.

Great Value

Admittedly this is my first endoscope, but I already see signs for improvement if I purchase another. I use this to occasionally inspect wall spaces when remodeling. My most recent use was to inspect waterlines between a ceiling and floor for any leaks. One feature I see that was mentioned in several reviews, is the lack of image capture. I also had to paint the top of the camera so I could easily determine orientation. But my biggest gripe would have to be that the cable isn’t rigid enough. It’s advertised as semi-rigid, but you can only extend the camera about 18 inches before the weight causes the entire cable to sag. This is a problem if you have gaps of space to traverse, you’ll actively have to consider where to lay the cable to keep on track. Could really be an issue if inspecting vertically up.

Good quality basic endoscope

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What’s this? )

This Depstech endoscope is completely self-contained, a considerable advantage over those that need to be connected to a smart phone or other screen. It comes with 2 screw-on tips, one hook and one magnet (for retrieving objects from drains or for picking up a bolt dropped in an inaccessible place), a short USB-C recharge cord. and an owners manual, though the controls are very simple and intuitive. The 16-foot semi-rigid cable is stiff enough to hold itself vertical for several feet and forms easily into bends and curves. The screen is remarkably sharp and clear (photo), though as small as one would expect from a hand-held device.

This is the perfect tool for seeing into inaccessible places. We’ll use it for plumbing problems and for retrieving dropped parts, no doubt, but also for checking a boarded-up fireplace at the mountain cabin to see what sorts of critters might be in there before opening it up, and checking for rodents in sealed-up voids.

The endoscope does have some limitations. The screen is very small, there’s no screen capture provision, the magnetic tip and hook tip just about completely obscure the camera’s image, and of course snaking 16 feet of cable into a drain with no directional controls isn’t necessarily easy to do, but this Depstech endoscope is a good, versatile, and inexpensive tool.

I used it to inspect cylinders on an older car before attempting to start the motor.
Also to check the gas tank for rust or other damage, unit provides a clear picture on the hand held screen. Nice tool at a good price

Simple to use, and clear lighted image

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What’s this? )

The media could not be loaded.

This is a great tool for fishing cables in a wall, or looking for blockages in pipelines etc. It’s waterproof, so you can push it anywhere you need to look, and it has a bright light on the end with variable brightness settings. It also comes with an attachment like a Hook that allows you to push it somewhere to retrieve or remove a blockage for example. In my video, you can see me testing it by pushing the end into a can of coke and taking a look inside – which is well lit and very clear. The image on the screen is very good, and suits most needs I think. Highly recommended.

Not something one would use daily but very handy when needed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2023

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What’s this? )

This endoscope inspection camera fills a niche market and does it really well. It’s pretty simple to use, turn it on with the power button, and get the camera into tiny places to inspect possible problems. The camera is aided by a light which can be set in 4 different brightness (off, low, medium, and high). I’m not sure about the high setting though for me it made things harder to make out on the screen as it projects too much light too close. There are two attachments that can be added to the camera end of the device: a hook and a magnet to help you fish out tiny items that were dropped. There is a digital zoom on the camera that offers 1.5x and 2x zoom which doesn’t seem to be a lot and in real life offers very little extra magnification…but who knows? It might come handy one day when I just need that much extra magnification. I really like that it has a built in battery that can be charged via a usb type c cable! Hooray!

And here are some improvement points that could be better in a future edition:
1) the lens has a fixed focus, so getting too close will result in blurry images, this is when digital zoom could help, but it’s really not much extra magnification at 2x
2) the screen is small and not very good. you can make out most details sure, but it could be better in my opinion. for the majority of the tasks it will be fine though
3) would be lovely to insert a memory card and snap photos so you can look at those photos on a larger screen later on, especially if you’re facing an issue that needs analyzing (like fixing an engine or something).

Altogether it’s a really good device that can be easily recommended at the price of £50 at the time of writing this review.

Good product, slightly let down by absence of image capturing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2023

The Depstech endoscope inspection camera has a 5m semi rigid cable with a 2 mega pixel camera on the end of an 8mm diameter stalk. The screen is approximately 6cms across the diagonal with a 4:3 aspect ratio and is very sharp.
The endoscope has 4 buttons underneath the screen, there is the orange power button which requires a long press to turn the unit on or off and there are two buttons for the zoom feature which supports 1.5 and 2 times zoom, the fourth button controls the light around the edge of the camera, there are 3 brightness settings plus an “Off” setting.

There is a USB-C socket on the side for charging the device from a 5V power supply, the appropriate cable is included. The endoscope should give you 2-3 hours runtime, which is the same amount of time that it takes to charge.
The endoscope has holes on the bottom of the handle for fitting a hook or strap which could be useful when working on a car.

The picture quality is very good even in a low light environment without the camera light turned on, although in the latter case there is noticeable noise. I did not find the zoom feature to be of much use, preferring the 1:1 setting.

The endoscope comes with two accessories which attach to the end of the stalk, a hook and a magnetic pickup. I found that the magnetic pickup blocks most of the image since it is directly in front of the camera.

The uses for such a device are almost endless, I could have done with this unit when I was trying to get at a clip on the back of a turbo unit in my car, but other planned uses are to check around the back of my washing machine for leaks, checking the sink, examining what is blocking the guttering down pipes and possibly checking the flue of my gas fire, because birds keep building nests on top of the chimney.

The thing that I don’t like about this endoscope is that there is no facility to capture an image or video, this would be useful because it is easier to see things on a larger screen and you may want to give a third party an image of a problem that you wish them to fix.

Good image quality.

The ‘DEPSTECH DS260 Endoscope Inspection Camera with Light’ arrived in a branded box; the box also contained a USB charging cable, instructions, and magnet and hook attachments.

The display unit is lightweight and the inspection camera tube flexible, but will stay in a preformed shape. Best focus us at around 125mm

Image quality is good, even when zoomed, though it would have been nice if the user could rotate the displayed image to accommodate the cameras physical orientation, which can make it easier to understand what is being seen.

The camera has a great number of uses, for me checking drainage pipes, and under floor. And the most important when you think something has fallen behind a heavy cabinet.

It may be worth putting distance markers on the flexible section, so you have a reference to how far the light is down a pipe etc…

There seems to be a pair of holes at the bottom of the handle designed for a wrist strap which could be of benefit in many case, though one was not included.

useful live observation of hard-to-reach places

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 5, 2023

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What’s this? )

A fantastic device: So easy and intuitive to use I didn’t even need to read the instruction manual. Press the “on” button for 2 seconds and you’re off.

It’s really useful to get an eye on hard-to-reach places. On top of our second storey window there’s a gutter with something blocking it, so we used this to see what was going on without having to climb up with a ladder. The camera is on a stiff semi-rigid cable so it can hold its position without you having to hold it the whole length of the way.

I can see it being useful for seeing what’s going on at certain places like on the roof, gutter, in hidden boarded up spaces in your home, or looking under the floorboards without having to lift them all up. Also useful for checking out the internal mechanisms inside machines or plumbing systems without having to break them apart. I suppose it could even be useful for hobbies like exploratory caving. It’s not intended for medical use but you can have a peek at hard-to-see areas using this like to see something on the back of your head, on your back, or behind your ear or somewhere like that, that would otherwise be quite tricky to view.

There is a light by the camera which you can leave off, or switch on, to brighten up the area, which is useful if you’re looking somewhere dark. There are several options of brightness you can use.

It is a stand-alone device. I’m no video-expert but I can’t see an obvious way to record what the video is showing. It seems to be more of a live observation device.

All in all, well-made tool with a wide range of possible uses.

Handy for hard-to-reach inspections

This handheld endoscope has been a useful addition to my toolkit, especially for those hard-to-reach spots around the house. I’ve found the screen to be remarkably clear, making it much easier to identify issues in dimly lit areas. The simplicity of its use is a major plus – no need for extra devices or complicated setups. Its ergonomic design fits comfortably in my hand, allowing for extended use without discomfort. The zoom function is particularly helpful for detailed inspection of small or intricate areas. The device’s durability and waterproof capabilities have also stood up well during various tasks. It’s not just a tool, but a reliable partner for anyone needing a closer look in tricky places.
