Flexible Endoscope Camera 5.5mm | Mini Industrial Borescope for Android Phone and PC
This compact inspection camera turns your Android phone or Windows computer into a powerful diagnostic tool. With a slim 5.5mm camera head and a flexible, waterproof cable, you can easily see inside tight spaces like engine parts, plumbing pipes, or wall cavities. It captures clear photos and video directly to your device for easy review.
This mini endoscope is built for practical problem-solving. The camera features six adjustable LED lights, so you can see clearly even in dark areas. The IP67 waterproof rating means you can safely use it in wet or damp environments, like checking a drain or a leaky pipe. It is a simple, reliable tool for both professional inspectors and DIY homeowners.
Setting up the endoscope is straightforward. For Android phones, you download a free app and connect the camera via the included Micro USB cable. Your phone must support OTG (On-The-Go) function, which most modern Android devices do. The endoscope also works with Windows computers (2000, XP, Vista, 7) for more detailed inspections. The flexible cable is available in lengths from 1 meter to 5 meters, giving you the reach you need for different jobs.
The camera head is only 5.5mm in diameter, allowing it to fit into very narrow openings. It records video at a resolution of 640x480 pixels and has a 66-degree viewing angle. The kit includes useful accessories like a small hook, a magnet, and a side mirror attachment, making it easier to retrieve dropped items or inspect hidden corners.

Usage Scenario
Mark heard a strange rattle inside his car's air conditioning vent. He couldn't see anything from the outside. He connected this flexible endoscope to his Android phone, slipped the small camera head into the vent, and turned on the LED lights. On his screen, he clearly saw a small screw that had fallen in. Using the included magnetic attachment, he easily fished the screw out, saving himself a costly trip to the mechanic.
Micro Comparison
Unlike rigid borescopes that cannot bend around corners, this flexible cable endoscope can navigate tight bends and curves. It is also much more affordable than professional-grade video inspection systems. While the 640x480 resolution is not as high as some expensive models, it is more than sufficient for most common diagnostic tasks, offering a great balance of cost and functionality for everyday use.
