Anyone have any recommendations on an inexpensive inspection camera that will view 360°, up and down? I prefer one that uses my cell phone for the screen. I have a cheap one from Amazon that does a pretty good job looking straight down, but it won't look up at things like the valves or the tip of the fuel injector, and it's very difficult for me to turn it around, to look in any direction other than the way it went into the hole.

Thanks

The ones I've owned have a little mirror attachment you put on the tip. Search online to see if there is an accessory kit for your camera.

Thanks. Mine does have the mirror attachment, but so far I've never used it because I'm afraid of an attachment falling off down in a cylinder.

Not sure what budget means to you but the vividia ablescope is a decent tool to work with. Check uot the video in the link:

You are right to be cautious. My rule: nothing from Wish goes inside an engine any more...

I love this one:

This one looks to be the same tool, but I have no experience with this website:

We have the TESLONG at the shop and compared to our 90s snap on it has been a game changer. More budget friendly than some of the other options. The quality of the photos is VERY good for the price point.
