Default Snake/Endoscope USB Cameras ?

Anyone used one ? an thinking of the cheaper USB Ebay types, doesn't have to be fancy but don't want to buy a useless POS, just want it to check the sills on my car and any other awkward to get to spots, thinking that even a £20 job should do me as long as it produces some kind of picture, don't want one with a dedicated screen and don't want to spend loads.

I had one a couple of years ago. The picture was very noisy, which is a big deal for something likely to be used in dark corners where there's not much light available anyway. Also the lens wasn't set up properly, so it would only focus on things a couple of inches in front of it, everything else was blurred.

In short, it was crap, and I sent it back.

You'll be able to see the inside of your colon, too.

It was only time before someone suggested an alternative use to sticking it down the plug hole and inspecting your valves!

I got one, report much like AndyC, but I kept it. The focal length and illumination as well as definition stop it being terribly useful sadly.

Er an endoscope goes up your tradesmans entrance Even with Vaseline it might be a bit hard to push into yourself AND look at the video feed.

I think it would be quite easy actually, but it isn't an entrance, rather an exit

Now please, no attendances at A/E claiming that you sat on your snakescope. Perf of bowel would be nasty.

You could try your urethra too, but wash it first if using it for that after doing your colon.

Not that even given the wider bore of the other option I have any desires to have a nosey up there, that is purely for medical proffessionals, like john with his well greased finger and surgical gloves !

I've had a urethral swab before, and I can say that was the most awful medical thing I have had done to me...the plastic thingy nips a bit of flesh away for testing and it took months to feel ok again (still not 100% though).

I cannot imagine how bad it would be to have a camera shoved up there.

It wasn't just a camera up there. I had a 13mm bladder stone removed so had a camera and all the other associated tooling shoved up the old chap as well.
Not painful at the time as I was knocked out but bloody painful after and for about 2 weeks as well. The catheter wasn't much fun either but I pissed like an elephant after it was taken out

You haven't lived until you have had an aged Indian doctor burning the warts off your **** with a soldering iron type implement, nothing like the smell of your smoked sausage wafting up and then the pain when the anesthetic wears off.

Mark, if you can see it on the outside, then theyre knackered already. Dont be put off by some of the silly talk about prices to repair them though - Id expect £400 -£500 to see them made good and painted well enough to last another ten years.

The real concern is the area where the rear torsion tube mounts to the body and you dont need to look through a vent to see that.

There isnt anything showing on the cills, as in the hollow sections under the doors, the bits I can see, from the outside are some surface rust behind the rear wheels where its knocked the stone chip off on both sides, no worries on that, treat, sand, re stone chip and paint, there is a patch on the NSF wing at the bottom about an inch by half an inch which I will probably cut out and weld a patch in, the other bit which you could say is on the cills is in front of the Near side rear wheel right at the end which isnt the box section or near any mounting points, its the bit where you can see both sides so I am not all that concerned and am fairly confident I can tackle it myself but want to get a good look through the vents to check internally if there is anything that hasnt manifested itself on the outside yet and also to check under the battery tray as its hard to get at and looks a bit crusty but is still solid, it was full of stuff that has acumulated like the old earth strap, a remote control for a portable telly, old sockets, screwdrivers and all sorts of crap.

Worst comes to the worst I have cash set aside for dealing with it, and at the end of the day, its a four grand car, just thinking I need to catch things over the summer to protect that four grand, also my dad wants to check a water loss on my mums car.

Child birth is quite natural. Having a thing shoved up your urethra is completely not natural! Besides I think for blokes it is a no-no just psychological like having something shoved up your bum! It is like being violated a bit, that is how I felt.

We still talking medical procedures ?

I think us blokes are a little touchy about this but alledgedly we are all geared up for it being pleasurable, hence why a good Poo is enjoyable. Our male pride and desire to reinforce our hetero credentials means we dont partake or pretend we dont

Hmm I was thinking for a man having an orifice penetrated is a kind of a natural violation unless he is the other way inclined. It's got nothing to do with 'pride'. Wome otoh are made to be penetrated.
