New toy, new toy !!!

[emjaybee]

New toy arrived today !!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

:jump

My cheapo USB/Android phone endoscope camera has arrived.

Packaging a bit scruffy (cardboard bag inside jiffy bag) but contents look okay.

The instructions are a bit crap, looks like they've received a shrinking ray at some point. You are supposed to download a file onto your phone, the file installs an app and that should run the camera. Er, no. The app kept stopping and a Google search revealed that app won't run on the latest Android system.

:(

However, the same search also said to try some of the other USB camera apps. So, three apps later I now have a working USB phone endoscope!

Yeah!

The picture is pretty good, a couple of photos to follow, bear with me, I can only upload one at a time.

This is the camera itself.

This is the dimmer control, haven't worked out what the button does yet.

[emjaybee]

This is a picture from the camera. This was about oneinch from the subject.

[emjaybee]

This was also about an inch from the keys, but with the LED lights turned down a bit.

[emjaybee]

I haven't tried it on the laptop yet, but that's not what I bought it for.

Well worth the £10 I think, granted it was a bit of a faff to find an app that worked, but for that price, who cares?

Happy days, lots of fun to be had.

Nice toy, what app did you use?

[emjaybee]

I found "Scopecam" worked. I haven't fiddled with it much, but for a tenner I'm not expecting it to produce a Hollywood blockbuster.

:lol

It's a clear picture, shove it in the chassis, then go order some waxoyl :lol

There are some things you just don't want to know.

I would guess that the button, when used with the appropriate app might enable you to take a snap shot on demand.:nenau


Worth a tenner though.:thumb2

Most software supplied with low cost far eastern electronics, do not work that well, most are clones of clones and then reverse engineered. :augie

That's what I was thinking, but I can just press the button on the phone to capture the image.

It's a great little camera for a small amount of money, and the bonus is if you lose it, break it, get it stuck in a 'ole, you goes and buys another!

:D
