Amazon.com Product Description
The Milwaukee 2310-21 Cordless M-Spector Digital Inspection Camera lets you get a clear picture of problems in hard-to-reach places. Whether you're working with wiring inside walls, examining the fragile pipes of an old home, or looking for serial numbers on parts in an engine that you don't want to disassemble, this versatile, snake-like inspection camera uses digital imaging technology to display crisp, color images on the screen of a hand-held unit. This means you can assess projects without causing unnecessary damage. Digital Technology for Useful, High-quality Images
When you can assess a project without having to do unnecessary damage, you save yourself time, effort, and money. Unlike some micro-cameras, this digital inspection camera provides accurate, high-quality images, so that you can get an idea of what you're working with quickly. With a 2.4-inch, high-resolution color LCD display, you get plenty of detail. An exclusive, adjustable 2x image zoom feature lets you pick the magnification that most accurately shows what you're looking for. LED illumination makes it easy to see inside dark pipes and walls, and three stage brightness control combines with digital glare reduction to help you use this lighting to get a usable shot, not just an over-lit, difficult to decipher photo. Flexible, Easy-to-Use Design
The Digital Inspection Camera fits through holes as small as 3/4-inch, so you can use it to look inside pipes, and you can thread it into complicated machines. This is possible because of an innovative design that includes a durable, detachable, three-foot-long water-tight flexible cable and an incredibly small camera head. An ergonomically designed handle lets you comfortably hold the hand unit in several different ways, a feature that's especially important for professionals who perform lots of pipe or wiring installation projects with the help of an inspection camera. Additionally, up-front power and image control buttons make it easy to operate this camera with one-hand. Convenient, AA Battery Power
Powered by four AA batteries means that you have the convenience of using your choice of rechargeable or disposable power and don't have to worry about tripping over a cord. The digital inspection camera also offers a power saving, auto shut-off feature, which preserves battery life, so you can work longer on a single charge. What's in the Box
6-voldt digital inspection camera, 3-foot camera cable, and a carrying case.

Excellent product!!! November 11, 2009
John Frum
After having used a similar product at work, I decided that I needed to buy one for myself. I did a bit of research and settled on the Milwaukee 2300-20 M-Spector digital inspection camera. The resolution is absolutely awesome and the ease of use is idiot proof. The only down side that I see to this boroscope is that the head of the camera is a bit larger than I would prefer. I'm hoping that Milwaukee will offer and extension that adapts to a much smaller fiber thread but have not seen that thus far.
 Worth the lower price November 10, 2009

Picture is marginal and light is too small. If you have a space where you can also shine a flashlight the picture is pretty good. At the reduced price, I still think I got a good deal as there are some jobs (I mostly work on restoring an old boat) where this is really the only option for seeing.

It's not camcorder quality but you can see what you need to. October 27, 2009

The cables a bit stiff so don't expect it to easily follow tight corners. It will hold the bends you put into it. no smaller than about a 5" radius. The lighting is not perfect but you can make out what you need to. It would be nice if the head could rotate. It takes practice to orient the view on the screen with the position off the head. There is a cable extension available which would probably make it more usefull. It's a fun toy to show off and make jokes about bargain rates on colonoscopies.

Good picture - little difficult to use at first until you get hang of moving the camera around. I'm an electrician and use it to see into walls and around large objects. Already paid for itself in labor when I found a "buried" junction box under a kitchen cabinet in a mobile home while troubleshooting a shorted circuit. I would have had to tear the whole kitchen apart to find the trouble if I didn't have this handy tool.

A few weeks ago, I found myself in a strange situation -- a piece of steak became lodged in my esophagus. Yeah, I could have made a visit to the ER, and dropped enough money to buy a used Hyundai. Luckily, I had this little gem tucked away in my garage.
I think it's important to mention that any upper GI tract inspection should ONLY be done with the optional 3-foot scope extension. Without it, you won't have enough cord to put the camera in front of your face for viewing, and feed the other end into your mouth.
After a few minutes of coaxing, I was able to make that tricky turn at the pharynx. From there, it was a fairly easy shot straight down to the offending steak obstruction. I took a little break to compose myself, and then gently nudged the steak down toward my stomach. I would have kept going to get a look at my stomach, but my limited understanding of the durability of the gastroesophageal junction's surface caused me to stop short of it.
I was impressed by the detail this camera allowed me to view -- the striated muscle and feline rings were observable, but (obviously) not with the clarity one would expect from a much more expensive GE medical device. I was able to see enough to leave me feeling comfortable that I have no negative issues to worry about down there.
Breathing during the procedure was kind of tricky, but I attribute much of that to panic, and not to a blockage by the scope.
If I had to do it again, I think I would use a more suitable lubricant on the scope. The only throat-safe lubricant I had at the time was olive oil. It didn't obscure the camera's view, but it certainly lacked the lubrication properties necessary for a procedure of this type.
