Any experience / recommendations? Some of the chinese ones on ebay at ~
£100 look quite good.


Depends on whether you'd be happy with the small screen and relatively low
resolution. The all in one units tend to be SD. The ones without screen
can be HD.


I'm basically after convenience, looking for obstacles or gaps, so lower
resolution should be OK; but useful to have one with memory or a memory
card as these seem to save at VGA (640 instead of 320). I know that
doesn't sound much but I have had a few cases during plant
investigations where a VGA image from a basic usb microscope in an
otherwise inaccessible location has been incredibly useful.
