I purchased the solid shaft 21″ version for around $70, shipped, from Amazon. It is fairly amazing. The new ones are 26″ long. They both come with a 45 degree mirror so one can see the entirety of the bore.

Mine broke after about six months, the LED stopped working. It may have been my own fault, maybe not.

In any case, Julie @Teslong replaced it, and it was in the mail the same day. :-]

I’d call that excellent support.

At.20 diameter this won’t fit into my .17 caliber(.172 dia.)rifle barrel. Would like to know if there are plans to add a .17 caliber scope anytime soon? Thank you.

Just got one and am impressed. I need to learn what I am looking at. I am using the HD application that the manual suggested and the picture is great however the light glare blocks some of the image. I need to figure out a way to diffuse it. My problem is that when plugged into my Samsung 10 inch tablet that the light and apparatus runs full time. It appears I can only turn it off by unplugging it. Anyone else have this problem and any suggestions?

I store mine in a 3ft length (straight) of small diameter poly tubing in a vertical position next to my cleaning rod rack.

Several have complained about not receiving the case. Teslong explained that they were having failures due to the tight coiling of the probe necessary for the scope to be stored in the case. As a result they no longer provide it.
I have had my scope for less than a week and have strongly recommended it to everyone I know! Thanks for the review.

AccurateShooter: Thanks for the explanation. Can can purchase a larger case for a few dollars or just keep everything in a shoe-box.

John,

Thanks for your initial review here.

The video Quality is amazing. I am certain the next version would be better. For Example, the mirror has to have some way to lock it in place to keep the video focused.

Overall it is highly recommended.

I just read on the Amazon, the new shipments do not contain a portable bag.
So, The author has to remove the indication of free portable bag.

EDITOR: The unit we tested was purchased directly from Amazon about 1 month ago. It came with the case. The TESLONG was sold out for a while then showed up again. We don’t know if the case will be offered in future.

1) Mine came with no leather/poly case. What is about with that? I will contact the seller and request one.

2) Video Quality is Excellent. Best I saw from a borescope

3) Their primary software is garbage. It locks up immediately. I am using CameraFi2, also suggested in the tiny manual. So, tiny you need to use the borescope to read it.

4) Value for your money is very good.

5) Score: 3.5/5 stars. -1 star for the software, -0.5 star for the no case. I assume I will get one.
