Ralcam Two-Way Articulating Borescope 4.3" 📷
Description:
This compact inspection camera brings clear imaging to tight spaces, combining a flexible probe and an integrated display for hands-on diagnostics in automotive, plumbing and HVAC work. It is built to navigate confined areas while offering crisp visuals and simple recording for documentation, making inspections faster and more straightforward.
Key Points
The unit features a manoeuvrable probe that bends and rotates to access awkward angles, which helps when inspecting engine bays, pipe interiors and ventilation ducts. The 4.3-inch screen is anti-glare and displays HD images without requiring a smartphone, so the operator can view and record directly on the device. 📷
The probe is reinforced with a tungsten braided sheath that balances flexibility with rigidity, allowing you to feed it into small gaps while resisting kinks. Brightness of the integrated LEDs can be adjusted to suit very dark cavities, so details remain visible even in low light. 🔦

Usage Recommendations
Use the two-way articulating action to sweep and pivot the camera head while advancing the cable slowly, which improves the chance of capturing useful angles without forcing the probe. For plumbing checks feed the camera gently into the pipe and adjust LED brightness to avoid washed-out highlights, especially on reflective surfaces. For automotive inspections move the probe incrementally to avoid catching on sharp edges.
Consider that the 3.3-foot probe offers good reach for most domestic and workshop tasks, though it may not access very deep or long ducts according to the manufacturer. The 8.5 mm head is compact enough for many tight entry points, but larger boreholes will allow easier manoeuvrability. ⚙️
Practical Tips
Keep the supplied protective case for transport and storage to protect the display and connections. Clean the camera head after each use to prevent build-up that can affect image clarity, and store the cable coiled without tight bends to preserve the braided sheath. When recording, confirm the framing on the screen before starting to capture stills or video to ensure the evidence is usable.
