Boroscope, anyone?

[Maineiacs]

I've seen a number of posts about the ducting runs being too long or being bent too sharply to be fully functional. Since I can't quite fit my head into the ducts for a closeup look, I'd like to use one of the relatively inexpensive boroscopes sold on Amazon - among other places. (also would like to peek around the underbelly)



Any personal recommendations for one that would let me creep in virtually 10 or 12 feet for inspection?

Just me, beyond the the vent box the duct is damn flimsy. I will not put anything into it. I ripped some by just pushing a vacuum nozzle in one to remove construction debris. If your having real problems drop the bottom, easy to fix, re route duct and seal up openings that should be sealed. Look over the holding tanks.
I guess the question is why do you want to look? Any issues the bottom comes down or opened up to repair anyway.

As ken/claudia said, it's extremely flimsy.

I started in with my "boroscope" & looking at the first hard bend, decided not to push. The next step is to open the coroplast enough 1" to go in that way. But the access is 3-4' away (rear > front) & other entries along that route have wire & pipe.

Still plan to go in but not till temps go down.

The "duct work" is flimsy to say the least. Crushing it or puncturing it would mean more work.

Instead we use a tall heater-fan to move heat into bedroom when connected
