Ah, the inspection camera. It’s like an unwritten law; you can put this tool in a room with 30 guys and every one of them has the same thought at the same time: “Let’s put this camera somewhere it’s not supposed to go.” At the Milwaukee event they actually had a toilet there for us to snake so we didn’t have to bother dragging it to one. Fun and games aside, the 2313-21 inspection camera is a serious bit of gear — and it’s now armed with a 360 degree rotating screen.
As you might expect from a high-end inspection rig like this, the 2313 checks all the hotlist boxes. It boasts a 2.7″ high-res color display with a image sensor pixel density of 640 x 480 (the display res is 320 x 240 by the way) and a 9mm camera head. It’s waterproof, hence the toilet, and gas and oil “resistant” with a 3′ cable length. The party piece is the rotating display — which sounds like a nothing add-on until you’re crammed in a tight spot with limited space to position the inspector and need to get a good look at the screen. Then a swivel sounds like a sweet plan.
The price point will be over the $200 mark; we’re guessing around $200 – $275. For the kit, that includes the 2313-21 M12 M-Spector 360, 1 red lithium battery, a charger, hook, and a magnet & mirror.

I have the original one from Rigid and boy does it come in handy. This one looks like it has better resolution. I may have to upgrade.
I just ordered the boroscope cited by Ian in the recent thread about cameras. @ <$30 it doesn't have to be HD capable, and there are a couple of reasons it may be more useful. It, too, is waterproof, and sports a 5 meter cord. Being tethered to a tablet or laptop sounds cumbersome, but my hope is that I will be able to use the wifi capabilities of my Andriod phone in conjunction w/ a laptop to expand the possibilities. I'll keep you "posted"
Hmmm…..
Even with insurance, this is a LOT cheaper than a colonoscopy at the hospital.
I like the water proof part….I can sneak a peak into the wife’s shower and be around the corner…..HAA AHAAA HAAAA HAAAAA and could get video of my daughter playing with her stuffed animals….I love extra uses for Shop tools
