Autel MV400 ReviewIt is Thursday, so that means it is tool review time. I will be reviewing the Autel MV400 Digital Inspection Videoscope, or as I call it, borescope. I have been looking for a good alternative to buying a really expensive borescope from the tool truck guys. I purchased this borescope for 3 main reasons:

  • Inspecting engine internals
  • Inspecting behind dashes and in air ducting
  • Looking for carbon buildup on direct injection engines

There  are a bunch of other uses for a camera like this. It is also nice because this borescope, videoscope, will record video and pictures on to a micro SD card. I used that feature to record the video you see in the demo. There are some things that I really like about this camera, and some things that make it just an okay borescope. I will say for the price $145.70 on Amazon, it is a good deal.

Join me today as we scope out this borescope:

  • Why I bought a borescope videoscope
  • What is in the box
  • Features
  • 4 LED lights
  • Good things about this borescope videoscope
  • Where this borescope videoscope is not good
  • Borescope/videoscope demo
  • Final thoughts
  • Buy the Autel MV400
  • and more
