That $320 borescope I bought off Amazon let me down big time

I picked up this wifi borescope for inspecting hard-to-reach areas on the Cessna 172 fleet we work on, and the picture quality was fine for about 3 weeks. Then the camera head just stopped rotating and the wifi kept dropping out mid-inspection. Anyone found a rugged borescope that actually holds up to daily shop use under $500?

Oh man, I feel your pain on that. I had almost the EXACT same thing happen with a wifi borescope I grabbed for checking inside engine blocks on some fleet trucks. The wifi dropout thing is the WORST when you've got the scope wedged in a tight spot and suddenly you're staring at a frozen screen. For under $500, I'd look at the Teslong rigid ones with the side-view mirror attachment, they're built way tougher and don't rely on that spotty wireless connection.

Wait, the camera head just stopped rotating after only 3 weeks?
