My repairman showed me this two weeks ago, and I was so blown away, I ordered one. Can use on Windows, iOS, or Android...$20.. check the alignment of your instrument valves, slides, etc. --so small it is perfect for SmartPhones, iPad, etc....all Wi-Fi...technological leap once again....

I have several of these things. I'm waiting for one with a body about 1/2" long and 1/4" diameter in order to be fully useful.

Curious, what situations do people use these in?

No, but good to see how alignment is...and what crud is inside ( 'time to clean'), etc....

Well... felts compress and rotor bumpers degrade. The camera is also good for identifying obstructions. I found a bottle of valve oil lodged in the back bow of a euph a couple of weeks ago. You can also spot globs of solder inside tuning circuit tubes.
