Endoscopes / Borescopes

Have thought for a while that this might be a useful gadget to have in the armoury for those impossible to see crevices in cars!

I have seen quite a few around but does anybody have any first hand experience?

Some come built in with their own screens but seem to be quite expensive. What are the cheaper USB ones like? Effetively it's just a USB webcam on a long bendy thin stick with some illuminating LEDs - cost savings in that no screen included and can just be plugged into an old netbook.

Like this for £50:

Cheaper ones on ebay/amazon.

Thanks chaps, it's for general automotive use but at the moment I want to look inside a door panel to check a linkage on a central locking solenoid. Think I will take a punt with a 20 quid eBay one.
