The cam is awesome and cant really ask for better with this type of cost. The description did not state the type of wire. I purchased one of these a few years ago and it was of standard type of flexable wiring like a typical usb cable. This one actually has a more rigid cable that you can kind of form or shape up to about 3 or so feet. Hope this helps. GOOD PRODUCT, GREAT PRICE!
This looks to be a fun and useful tool. I bought it to look in our sewer for what is causing a blockage. I can also see using it in repairs of machines. It would have been useful recently to look inside my dryer to locate the bad bearing and any lint blockages. Also to look inside engine cylinders through the spark plug hole and inside manifolds. I have a Honda scooter that has a small screwdriver dropped inside the panels somewhere which I hope to find with this tool and extract with a magnet. I have looked at my own teeth and tonsils, which is fun. Well worth a few dollars. It plugged into my phone and the app downloaded without problems. Even if it doesn't last long, it would be worth every penny.
The camera works well. I had a little difficulty getting the app downloaded because I wanted to use a laptop. The "cord" is stiff enough to maneuver where you need it to go.
