This is a ‘does what it says on the tin’ device, no more, no less. The in-body torch is nice to have too (your phone can stay somewhere clean), so thouse who get the DIY tools out more than a couple of times a year will find this makes a worthwhile step up from a wi-fi phone accessory. The claimed 1.96-200 inch focal range seems somewhat optimistic though, or perhaps the 2592 x 1944 pixel screen is simply too much resolution for the camera.Īlthough we could quibble about the excessively tight USB socket which connects the camera cable to the main unit, or the slightly squidgy buttons, the 3,300mAh battery supplies a very practical five hours worth of working time. The camera itself is well lit and provides good visibility, albeit a little blue looking from the LEDs. The Depstech DS450 (and its dual-lens siblings built on the same case) feel natural to use in the mobile phone era the 4.5-inch IPS screen is about the same size and – with the camera cable connecting at the top centre – is easier to hold vertically. Camera connector a little fiddly -Depstech’s dual lens version not much pricier -Recorded video is a weird 20fps The flexibility on power is handy for long jobs away from a charging point you can either use a 10.8v Bosch Li-Ion battery pack or AA cells (in an included adapter). It should also help making quotes and reports thanks to the ability to store images or video onto the included 4Gb MicroSD card and, if it’s easier, output via a USB connection. A detachable hook, magnet or mirror end are included and, to help with orientation, the system can also keep the video’s horizon level even as the camera turns.Īs such, it is ideal for plumbers, electricians and other fitters checking safety issues and attempting to minimize exploratory drilling or removing dropped items from drains. The buttons offer image rotation, variable light intensity and digital magnification, while the 3.5” display offers immediate feedback (though at 320x240px it is not in any sense HD).
This is a solid unit with a rubberized grip ideal for holding in one hand, and the protective bumpers in the design are appreciated. Rechargeable battery clips fiddly -Expensive initial cost
