I use Apple products exclusively.There are many free imaging apps that display the Ablescope's image. All of these apps worked with the scope's LED dimmer, but finding one that worked with the scope's snapshot button took some doing. I eventually installed Digital Viewer on my Macbook Air, and it works well. Pictures and videos are not saved to Apple's Photo app, but maybe that's not a bad thing...Regarding its functionality, the ability to bend the camera between straight ahead to 180 degrees back is fabulous. I've tried other endoscopes, but their use is limited by the fixed angle of the camera. Taking snapshots is easy, but a fully controlled video takes a little bit of practice (the attached clip shows that I need to work on my technique). I found that to get the valve at the proper size, it helps to turn the prop to move the cylinder up or down, which in turn moves the camera closer or farther from the target.Finally, I tried to image the seat of the intake valve, but it's only possible to see a small portion of the seat. The camera and bending mechanism is small, but not that small. ### ⭐ Zero Customer support *by S***W on Reviewed in the United States on 30 September 2020* So this is a good tool for the price. It is the second unit that I have bought. I had a mishap with the first unit and needed parts to repair it. No phone contact so I sent an email and never received a reply. The first one worked several years before we broke it...from abuse. After searching for a similar product to buy I ended up reluctantly buying another. Nothing else compares for the price. JUST DO NOT EXPECT CUSTOMER SERVICE from Vividia. It does not exist. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We like the articulating head, but wish Vividia would put a higher resolution camera on it *by P***T on Reviewed in the United States on 16 October 2019* There aren't any other low cost borescopes that have the head that turns 180 degrees. This scope works really well for looking in engine cylinders.The image quality is good, but it's too bad that this is only a 0.3MP image (480 x 640) when you can buy an inexpensive 2 or 5MP videoscope for $30. I wish Vividia would upgrade the sensor to a higher MP one.The focal distance on the one we got was not what Vividia claims. I tested ours and it is 2-15cm (.75" - 6"), not the stated 4-40cm (1.5" - 16"). Hopefully this will not be a problem for our usage, but I am disappointed that it is not as advertised. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vividia Ablescope VA-980 Semi-Flexible USB Digital Inspection Camera Borescope with 180 Degree Articulating 8.5mm Diameter Probe - Vividia Ablescope VA-W03A WiFi Box USB to WiFi Converter for iPhones/iPad for USB Digital Borescopes and Microscopes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/376806276-vividia-ablescope-va-980-semi-flexible-usb-digital-inspection-camera](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/376806276-vividia-ablescope-va-980-semi-flexible-usb-digital-inspection-camera) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
