how did I ever get by without one of these.....

https://www.screwfix.com/p/magnusson-inspection-camera-21-3-colour-screen/7942x

As mentioned elsewhere there is a leak under mother in laws Bath and annoyingly the Bath has been tiled in with no access other than smashing a load of beautifully installed tiles.

A bit of lateral thinking saw me drilling a few holes into the space under the bath from the other side of the wall (a bedroom) and sticking the camera through until I located the leak. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to access the pipework that needs attention by knocking a hole in the wall. Easier to repair the wall than retile the bathroom, even if I can find matching tiles....

Comes with an assortment of hooky things that can be added to the camera, might come in handy for recovering something one day.

An added bonus is that I am now available for surgical procedures.

I was going to get a Bluetooth one but read nothing but bad reviews.

It is a bit weird being self-contained...I am still inclined to move the screen rather than the probe!!

You can get some that plug straight into a phone.
Just be careful we had a cheap one like the one in the link at work which I borrowed to look into the petrol tank of the BIRD.
It never touched any petrol in the tank but next time we tried to use it at work, the fumes had fogged the lens!
