Default Borescope camera recommendations

I am looking to purchase a handheld borescope that does not connect to my cell phone but rather is an all in one with the handheld unit. I need one I can manipulate the end camera (though not manditory) and it also has a side camera. Color is a plus but the most important item is that it can take a photo of what you are viewing and download it onto a removable card. Does anyone have any suggestions based on units they have purchased? I have looked at several, just looking for people that own then and what their thoughts are. TIA

Chris White had one similar to this at MCACN this year and really liked it.

Rick, I think you are friends with Chris on FB ? Ask him which one he got. It looked similar to the linked tool, but it was a better known manufacturer.

I just bought the same one. Have not unpacked it yet. Perhaps later this week. I should have taken it today when I went to buy a car. Would have been nice to check the transmission and diff numbers

Looking forward to a review when you get a chance Tim!

After spending several hours on the net Christmas eve comparing units and reading reviews, I ended up buying this unit. I have several cars to inspect in Canada in two weeks but unfortunately my procrastination means it won't be here in time. However, I will check it out when it does arrive and let everyone know how it works. I have been using an ACDelco for years but it does not take photos and everything is in black and white. Otherwise it worked fine. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.

I can't tell you which one to get, but I can tell you to avoid the Innova ones at Harbor Freight. I tried two of the damn things and neither one worked, right out of the box with brand new batteries.
