 Phenomenol product for the money May 3, 2008

When I first purchased this item I was weary of the product. However, after some use, I was amazed at how efficient and highly workable this item was for me to use.
Thank you Rigid for producing this tool.

I received this product as a gift. It worked great for a few minutes. Then, the screen started intermittently showing solid-blue alternating with static. New batteries didn't solve the problem.
I now have to ship the product back to the manufacturer at my expense. They estimate that it will be repaired within two weeks.
This may very well be an isolated incident, but I thought I would at least add my data point to the din.

This machine works very well. The only issues is that you can not take a picture of the screen nor can you save or download anything you see. This is very important. Customers want to see what you are talking about.
 Not perfect, but a very useful tool. September 24, 2008

I'd been eying inspection cameras for some time and finally pulled the trigger on this model as the price was reasonable and, as somebody else has already mentioned, it included a set of small attachments. So far, I've used it while retro-fitting an exhaust fan into a bathroom that previously had none. Suffice it to say that there is no way I could have fished all the required Romex without this device. The hook attachment is indispensable for such a task. I was able to catch my fish tape at a 90 degree angle through a floor joist and double top plate even with a fair amount of existing Romex to get in the way.
The camera can become a little shaky and difficult to maneuver when the gooseneck is fully extended, but I can't see how this could be avoided without adding expensive directional control. My biggest disappointment was the mirror, as the lights at the end of the camera shine directly into it, making it completely useless in any environment that is not already lit. (...and when would you ever be using an inspection camera in a space that was lit?) I did not experience an inverted image as many people have previously complained.
If you find yourself fishing power or data lines through existing wall cavities with any degree of regularity, this tool is well worth the price.

being the ultimate tool freak I had to have this one. what a waste of money! the screen is so small it's hard to see, the flex camera shakes so bad when extended you can't see a thing. the image is upside down and when you twist the flex arm to straighten it out it almost kinks and then moves all over the place. the slightest vibration make the focus unbearable. I would not recommend this to anyone!
