Hi,
I am looking for a camera for finding hidden rust in my car. This camera looks interesting:
-
Good: The screenshot shows what appears to be rust in a cavity. Is the picture genuine? Is the colour rendition indeed good enough to clearly show up rust against other dirt? In spite of the automatic white adjustment?
-
Good: The grip is almost coaxial with the gooseneck (pistol grips are clumsy and they facilitate damage to the joint)
-
WiFi is good - no cables + separate monitor does not turn with the camera. My laptop has WiFi but you only mention Android, iOS Smartphone or Tablet. Can I still get the picture on my laptop?
Some other features that i am looking for:
-
Wide angle of view - at least 90°. Advantages 1. better orientation, 2. greater depth of focus.
-
Good illumination, adjustable, not more than 6 000 K (daylight), less would be better for finding rust.
-
60° screw-on mirror looking slightly backwards, with a round nose to get past obstacles. (A mirror sticking out on a wire is wobbly and easily gets stuck/is damaged.)
-
Mirror image correction feature (software).
-
Menu for colour/brightness/contrast adjustment with memory for preferred settings. Automatic white adjustment can cause problems!
-
Button on the grip for snapshots and videos, so you don’t have to let go.
-
Grip that is concentric with gooseneck. Needs less space when rotating. The leverage that a pistol grip provides invites overloading and damage. It is supposed to be a precision instrument, not a weapon!
-
Grip that can be moved along the gooseneck? (You often don’t need the full length and it can get in the way.)
-
Camera diameter 8 mm or less. The smaller the better, as long as the picture is OK. Max. 6 mm is required to pass through 8-mm clip holes in car bodywork at an angle.
-
Interchangeable goosenecks: semi-rigid, flexible, combined semi-rigid-flexible (don’t know yet what would be best).
-
Numbered marks every 10 cm along the gooseneck starting at the camera.
Have you got what i want? Have you got my ideal endoscope?
