:) I have just bought a Milwaukee 12 volt digital inspection camera. Have not had a call to use it yet, but looks like a good tool.
Has anyone used this one?

i looked at one(milwaukee) in HD and I didnt think the picture was really all that good. I want one to look for cracks in HX and check coils but it seemed to me that even if thier was a crack I dont think the picture is good enought to pick it up.
Do you think the picture that clear.

I don't know about anyone else, but I found reasons to use my Ridgid cam. :D

Seriously, I checked the Milwaukee out at HD and decided I didn't want the hassle of the rechargeables, but otherwise its a good camera, you will like it.

The Ridgid has a good but not great picture. The biggest problem that I have with it is that the camera isn't self levelling, so you wind up looking at a twisted or upside down picture. I haven't found a crack with it yet, but don't do a lot of that work.

My cam winds up looking for ice and other airflow obstructions in supermarket cases.

Adjust the camera head beforehand until everything looks upright in the camera, then paint a white dot on the top of camera head housing for up. Makes it easier to set up the next time you need to use it.

Oh that idea is too simple, it will NEVER work...:D

Thank you.

What color dot goes on the bottom. Could Twilli use two white dots on the bottom?
