USB Snakescope with magnetic attachment

USB Snakescope with magnetic attachment

Some objects are capable of raising a titter on looks alone. Take the USB Snakescope for example. But before we make a load of childish, ‘you wanna look up my what?’ style jokes, it’s worth stating that this impressive borescopic still/video camera has thousands of extremely practical uses.

Thanks to its long, robust, semi-flexible insertion tube (no sniggering at the back) and adjustable twin LEDs, it can explore all kinds of difficult to reach nooks and crannies, even wet ones because both camera head and cable are waterproof. It’s ideal for shoving down your plughole! ‘Hooray, I can see me ring!’

Capable of producing images in VGA quality (640x480)

Better still, it comes with idiot-proof software that allows you to view, tweak and archive your findings. It’s even got a clip-on magnetic attachment so you can retrieve lost screws and other metallic items that have dropped out of reach.

"Anyone seen the Firebox kitten?"

No slouch in the camera department, the Snakescope is capable of producing images in VGA quality (640x480) so differentiating between lint and screwed up tenners is easy. Speaking of peering into areas where the sun don’t shine, this quality gizmo is ideal for exploring the recesses of your sofa and examining car engines, cavity walls, mouse holes, loft spaces and more. Actually we’re sure we’ve seen Jack Bauer using something similar. Maybe he’d lost his keys?

Description

Handy tool box

Yes, we realise the first place you’re going to stick the USB Snakescope is down your trousers, but once you’ve recovered from the disappointment you’ll discover that the possibilities are endless. Take it to work and you can use it to peer around corners (‘Quick, the boss!’) or spy on colleagues over your monitor, periscope style. In fact the only place the USB Snakescope can’t look is inside your innuendo-ridden mind. Shame.

visitor avatar Will this work on windows 7 64bit?
Josh, Uk - Nov '09
Firebox says: I'm afraid not, Josh.

visitor avatar So, was looking to get a web camera for my mom who's just gotten her very own laptop and wants her family to see her on skype. Does this work as a regular web cam too?
Ad, London - Oct '09
Firebox says: No it doesn't, sorry!

visitor avatar Is the camera neck motorised or do you need to prebend it?
Daryl, Newcastle UponTyne - Oct '09
Firebox says: Its bendy Daryl. You manually bend it.

visitor avatar What is the length of the cable connecting the camera to the computer please?
Helen Gadsby, Leicestershire - Oct '09
Firebox says: Approx. 2 1/2 feet

visitor avatar What is the diameter of the camera tube and the minimum focus distance? could be really useful for work!!.... Honest!
BatRunt, UK - Oct '09
Firebox says: The camera diameter is 14 mm, with the wire being slimmer than that.

visitor avatar Are there any attachments that can increase the length of the snakescope and what is the maximum length?
Jodi, Uk - Oct '09
Firebox says: There are no attachments unfortunately. The cable is approx. 2 1/2 feet long.

visitor avatar Im guessing the LED's allow you to use the camera in the dark? also does it have to be plugged in via usb in order for it to record? as it would be annoying having to take your pc with you to check your car engine.
Kizz, Coventry - Oct '09
Firebox says: It does, yes.

visitor avatar Got one of these a few days ago and have installed it very easily on both my netbook and desktop machines (both running XP). Had some great fun looking under the bed and behind the cupboards. Really your only limit is your own imagination. Great bit of kit and great price from Firebox.
Mike W-G, Staines - Oct '09
visitor avatar What is the length of the actual telescopic camera-rope thing itself? Thanks :D.
Hamish, Stoke - Oct '09
Firebox says: Approximately 50cm

visitor avatar The possibilities really are endless, I've already managed to find some lost accoutrements, as well as take a sneaky peek up my colleagues skirt. Thank you, Firebox, you've done it again!

Firebox says: Now, now...careful!
