Default Borescope camera recommendations

I am looking to purchase a handheld borescope that does not connect to my cell phone but rather is an all in one with the handheld unit. I need one I can manipulate the end camera (though not manditory) and it also has a side camera. Color is a plus but the most important item is that it can take a photo of what you are viewing and download it onto a removable card. Does anyone have any suggestions based on units they have purchased? I have looked at several, just looking for people that own then and what their thoughts are. TIA

Chris White had one similar to this at MCACN this year and really liked it.

Rick, I think you are friends with Chris on FB ? Ask him which one he got. It looked similar to the linked tool, but it was a better known manufacturer.

I just bought the same one. Have not unpacked it yet. Perhaps later this week. I should have taken it today when I went to buy a car. Would have been nice to check the transmission and diff numbers

I can't tell you which one to get, but I can tell you to avoid the Innova ones at Harbor Freight. I tried two of the damn things and neither one worked, right out of the box with brand new batteries.

I have a snapon with a 5.5mm tip that works very well, it's even able to take and transfer pics. Unfortunately they are 700+ now
