If you need to see inside a tight space, you can get a lot of value out of an endoscope camera. It can be hard to tell which endoscopes youll end up loving when shopping online. There are so many to sort through, and it can be hard to compare them to get a good deal.Here are some Buyer's Guide
Compatibility
The most important thing to consider before buying an endoscope is what devices it will be compatible with. Many of the endoscopes on our list work via Wi-Fi with smartphones, while others connect via USB cable to certain phones and computers.
If youre going to be working outside, its a good idea to get an endoscope that connects to smartphones, as you typically wont want to lug a laptop or desktop out there. If youll be working primarily indoors, it can be okay to get one that connects via USB.
Camera quality
While you may be hoping to get a camera that provides crisp full-HD video, the miniaturization that goes into this process means that full-HD video can be really expensive in endoscopes. However, you still have some options that can deliver crisp video without a huge price tag.
p endoscopes are a good choice. They provide image quality roughly halfway between 720p and p, though its not as standardized as the other two, so it can vary. 720p endoscopes also produce good image quality at a reasonable price.
Length
Length can be misleading with endoscopes. While you might think that more is always better, many users find that they just need a few inches or a few feet of cable, and anything beyond that gets in the way.
Something else to keep in mind is that most of the endoscopes on our list use semi-rigid cable. Semi-rigid cable bends, but it takes a little force to do so. That can make this type of endoscope bad for exploring pipes or tight areas with many narrow bends. There are other kinds of endoscopes that are better for those applications.
Battery life
If youre working with a battery-powered endoscope, you need to know if the camera and the Wi-Fi chip, if applicable, use a lot of power. If you have a battery with milliamp hours or less of capacity, youll get two hours, or less, of juice per charge.
At the other extreme, endoscopes that have battery packs with -plus milliamp hours can provide more than five hours of work. If youre looking for a device that can work for a big portion of a workday, youll need a device with a big battery.

Tips for choosing an endoscope (UPDATED )
Nowadays, the medical services market is rapidly expanding, and endoscopy, being an important part of it, is no different. Endoscopy has become an integral part of different branches of medicine such as gastroenterology, pulmonology, gynecology, urology, otolaryngology, surgery and others, since it appeared in the middle of the last century. Endoscopic equipment opens wide possibilities for diagnosing various diseases, convenient screening, and effective minimally invasive medical manipulations. Many studies have shown that surgeries performed using endoscopy equipment make an extremely positive therapeutic impact and substantially lower the risk of complications.
Types of modern endoscopes
There are two main categories of endoscopes according to their design features:
- rigid endoscopes which in their turn are subdivided into two large groups: endoscopes proper which are inserted into the body through natural openings and laparoscopes which are inserted through incisions. Rigid endoscopes look like short metal tubes equipped with an illumination source and a magnifying device. Such endoscopes are widely applied in urology, gynecology, otolaryngology, and general surgery. Rigid endoscopes are the oldest type on the market. They are used in the majority of surgical endoscopic applications and enable endoscopists to visualize the surface of organs
- flexible endoscopes can reach the most distal parts of the human body, this way having an extremely important diagnostic value, especially in gastroenterology, pulmonology, and gynecology. There are two main groups of flexible endoscopes fiber endoscopes and video endoscopes. Fiber endoscopes are simpler in construction and are mostly used as observational devices. Video endoscopes, equipped with a video camera, a wide instrument channel, as well as water and air supply systems, are ideal devices for surgical manipulations in the examined cavity.
To make the right choice, it is important to clearly understand what the device will be used for. It is necessary to determine the manipulation types which are planned to be conducted diagnostic or therapeutic, as well as body regions meant to be examined.
What to pay attention to when buying?
So, what do you have to pay attention to when buying an endoscope?
- device dimensional and ergonomic features, since the equipment usability directly depends on them;
- device resolution and compatibility with modern endoscopic systems affecting the resulting image quality, and consequently, equipment working efficiency;
- angular field, focus range, and bending angle of the distal end the features responsible for the direction and field of view;
- instrument channel compatibility with accessories and its diameter;
- cleaning compliance and/or the possibility of full immersion in disinfectants.
The endoscopic equipment manufacturers price policy is also worth considering. Publicly funded health care is often quite limited in financial resources, and therefore, preferences should be given to reliable devices from proven manufacturers able to provide adequate extended service maintenance for their products. Private clinics can afford using expensive cutting-edge equipment available on the market if their executive staff is sure in their commercial return.
As for the equipment brands, OLYMPUS, PENTAX, FUJINON (Japan) and KARL STORZ (Germany) are leaders in this field. Currently, Chinese manufacturers, HUGER, in particular, are actively entering the market.
