Review: Teslong TD450S Borescope Inspection Camera

Video review on this borescope from Teslong, this is their TD450s model with an articulating tip. This is a two-way articulating borescope and I’ll show you this in a moment. This has 5 feet of reach and can navigate through tight places, viewing objects it just passed through with the articulating head. The borescope and accessories come in a hard EVA carrying case to keep everything in one place and protected. The carrying case is 16.6” wide, 8.5” deep, and 3.34” in height. It also comes with a 32 GB memory card and has a USB-C charging and data cable. On the lid of the plastic case is a zipper pouch to keep all your accessories safe and prevent them from falling out. #teslong #borescope #camera

Press and hold the power button to turn it on.
This is ready to use straight out of the box, no assembly or setup required which makes it very portable and user friendly. It has a 4.5-inch IPS screen. IPS screens are known for having a faster response, wider viewing angle, better color and contrast, outstanding color accuracy, and screen consistency. This means you’ll have the best possible experience when doing an inspection. The screen has a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. It has 8 LEDs which have various brightness settings to see in those dark places. Being able to adjust the LEDs can help see detail, sometimes having the LEDs too bright can cause viewing issues so having them dimmable gets around this.
As you can see, the articulating tip is controlled by a thumb lever under the monitor.
As mentioned earlier this has a 5-foot cable, it’s semi-rigid, can hold its shape, and can maneuver around tight places. The tip can articulate in two directions, has a 70-degree viewing angle, 2 MP camera, is 0.33 inches in diameter, and has 0.6-4 inches for depth of field. It can articulate a maximum of 210 degrees so it’s able to view back at an area it’s already passed through. The camera is equipped with a temperature probe and has a heat alarm feature when it exceeds 70C or 158F.
M switches the different modes. The front trigger button is to either take photos or enable recording when in video mode.
The top left of the screen will have an icon showing what mode you’re in. The top right will show the temperature if the microphone is on if there is an SD card, and your current battery charge. The bottom left will show if you’re currently recording, this is only in video mode, and the bottom right is the date and time stamp.
The down arrow allows you to rotate the image.
Settings opens up the various options, first is the resolution and there is only one setting of 1280 x 720. Next on the screen is a sound recording and date stamp.
Pressing the setting button one more time will bring up more options. This includes automatic shutdown, language, units of temperature, date and time, format, default settings, and the current version of firmware.
Next is the light button which changes the brightness of the camera. And finally, we have a zoom button, which will enlarge the image to further improve detail viewing.
Its compact and lightweight design makes it easily portable to any workplace, the 3000 mAh lithium-ion battery provides plenty of work time throughout a long work day. There is a built-in microphone to document whatever task you are doing, this is great for logging information at the moment and keeping all your information in one spot.
Overall I have to say this is an excellent addition to anyone’s toolbox. The camera cable is a little more rigid than compared to other models which may make it a little harder to maneuver around tight spaces but it’s also not as easily affected by bumpers or objects where it changes your camera view too easily. The short cable does make it easier to manage, so if you don’t need a borescope with a long reach, then this is perfect for you. Some of the uses and not limited to are inspections in walls for water leaks, determining where components run, or pest control. It can also be used for engine inspections, checking frames for rust, and finding fluid leaks.
