This would be a cool tool to use to see inside engines. If a manufacturer can get the cost to under $100 I'll buy one. I hope the price comes down on these soon.

My wife is in her ENT residency, where fiber optic scopes are used quite a lot. However, they seem to be about 10-20 times as expensive as this tool. I am slightly concerned about the flexibility of the shaft with the ProVision, as it's pretty big at 1/4", but for the cost, probably worth it. I think a tool like this would be wonderful for running wires through walls. This may be exactly the tool I have been coveting for quite some time.
