I recently came across this from Ridged:

It isn't really cheap, but it sure would have been handy for
fishing around inside walls and...

You would think they would have given it a bit more
resolution and the ability to take pictures. But then they
wouldn't be able to come out with an improved model I guess
a few months later.

I found it for sale on Fastenal's website, ~$280.

The Stanley Laser measures, TLM series (100, 200, 300) would
be really cool to have if I was still running conduit. It
seems like my one inch wide tape measure was never quite
long enough to reach what I wanted. See:

It is suppose to have plus/minus 1/4 inch accuracy at 100
feet which isn't too shabby. Plenty good for running
conduit.

Too pricey to have around nowadays for occasional use.
Around ~$100 for the TLM100 version.

I have the TLM100, and it's worth every penny. I use it for cave
surveys. It also happens to be made in Austria (not China) with
technology licensed from Leica Geosystems.
