Default Blocked Conduit - Need to See in 3/4" Conduit - Fibre optic Camera?

I have a 3/4" Conduit that seems to be blocked at the end. We can kind of
hear the Fish tape tink at then stopping point, though we don't know where
it is... We don't know how to locate the end of the conduit. We were
thinking if we could see the end, it might help us determine the location.
It is about 6'-8' to the end of the conduit. I've tried looking for Small
Cameras, but nothing that will really fit in the Conduit. Found a bunch of
Borescopes, though they are too expensive.

It would be great to get something like this:

short.

Any Suggestions on how to see to the end or find the end?

Thanks!


Put a blasting cap on the end of the fish tape. Use a large enough
one and you will either clear the pipe or blow a hole out of the
concrete.
