I want a little camera to put through holes in floorboards, to
check for leaking pipes and the like. USB, attached to the
laptop should do the trick, but I have tried one before and it
was pretty crappy with a very small depth of focus.

Can anyone recommend one that actually works well? Preferably
not too expensive.



Lidl 40 quid not USB.


Is that a current offer?

I can't suggest any current offering, but I have two of these
cameras. One has lights (get quite hot) at the camera end and is
hopeless.

The good one has a camera that is at right angles to the
gooseneck tube and has a focus ring. I think this came from Lidl
ages and ages ago. I've used this to provide a temporary camera
pointing at the tow hitch , with the usb cable running along the
guttering of the car (Disco at the time), and it made hitching up
various fishing and pleasure boats a single-handed doddle.
Other uses include photographing the inside of a guitar prior to
replacing the bridge and checking odd places under furniture etc.

The only real difficulty with the Lidl one is that it doesn't
have any inbuilt lights, and this made the guitar, in particular,
a bit of a challenge finding a torch to fit and provide the right
illumination.

My Lidl jobby has LEDs built in & the ability to vary their
brightness from the handset. In Lidl 40 quid this
week..

This looks like it:

What's the image quality like? How sharp and detailed is it?



Good enough for 40 quid.
