Almost made a stupid mistake ;)

I wasn't thinking at all on this. I have an auto shop and am selling some of the things I don't use much. One of the things I have is an Olympus articulating borescope. I put it up on Ebay not realizing I could use it for checking behind walls etc without tearing them down. It can snake through a hole no bigger than a 1/4" . So I went back on Ebay and raised the price so hopefully no one will buy it. I realized what I could use it for when I was looking around in the house I am leasing, It is older and there are a ton of places that I want to see behind and under that I can't really tear out. Nobody will notice a hole that small.

Anyone else use borescopes or fibrescopes for this purpose? I would imagine they do, I would just like to hear about it.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, I will go do that. I thought you could, just have to read how.

That is what articulating means. It is movable from the user end of the equipment. There is also a light source and typically a camera mountable lenz on the olympus. The tool works via fiber optic bundles for both light transmission as well as the image. Very useful for this application.
