Would the estamed members be able to recommend a snake camera, or endoscope, or key-hole camera to look inside masts, hard to get places below deck, hidden chainplates etc.
I googled the subject, l would like to hear of u s e r s experiences and recommendations if possible.

Search boroscope on eBay. They're probably not suitable for hoisting up a mast, but would be good for down holes, around corners etc. The wifi bit in these transmits from the handle or cradle to your phone, not from the eye/lens/head.
The type mentioned in the post above looks like it would transmit from the head, which would allow longer distances - if the wifi is strong.
A boroscope is on my shopping list, but I worry the field of view of the lens will be too small to be often useful. At $140 I'll keep thinking.
BTW, there are cheaper ones with generic USB plugs, but I want one to talk to my iPhone, thus the wifi.

Thanks for your input. Especially yours spongeblob!

I am still searching for someones opinion, who used such device with success in the past.

I bought one from Aldi last year to look at awkward engine bits. I'll be using it next
week to see inside the engine when I drain the water for an anode change. I descaled
the engine a year ago and I want to see if any salt build up has started. I've had no
trouble with the unit I bought and it comes in a handy tidy box.

Thanks for all.
That is the one, the boroscope!
