Borescopes
Does anyone here use a borescope to inspect stuff, like pistons through a spark plug hole? If so, which model scope do you use, and which one do you wish you could have? Flexible or rigid? Articulated or passive? Obedient or non-obedient? Fiber optic or optical?

Well, I've used a few different ones.
In the engine shop we use a snap-on one... I'll get the model number when I get to the shop today.
This one we used for bore-scoping the 316ss orbital pipe welds on the biopharmaceutical water systems I used to design back in the day... Its way more expensive but its like your 1/4" tall and standing in the pipe looking around...

Y2K,
I was just playing with the BK6000 about an hour ago (it's not on the web yet). It has internal (with usb output), and an SD card port for video and still photo recordability as well as sound, and a 1" larger screen then the BK5500(3.5" rather then the 2.4") and does black and white along with color, and has a removable and rechargable lithium ion battery pack with a fairly large menu covering everything(even comes with a cd for drivers and software)... a VERY nice piece(about $400 more then the 5500 I think).
I'll probably be looking at the 5500 myself if it happens and I can live with the smaller screen as when it's at the shop I can use the video out port to a monitor. Do you know if it's easy enough to record through the computer when plugged in or if it comes with software to do so?
Snappy wanted me to take the BK6000 for a few days and try it out, but I was afraid (for Deb) I might want to buy it rather then the 5500- lol.

I was considering getting a Pro Vision 618 as a starter. It's cheap enough at $99...
