I use a Apeman A87 that I bought off ebay for £26.

Yes Apeman 👍👍
I can’t find a link
It wasn’t Amazon
But I paid about £49
I’ve used a second hand old go pro series 3
And a campark
Both lost signal
Frequently!
Apeman very rarely loses signal
Really pleased👍
Be careful of sj cam’s there’s use to be
Copies (not so good)
I’m sure Smudger has a link 👍

I bought mine listed as used but it turned up brand new, it was a bargain.

One of the issues I have is seeing inside the gutter in low light (gloomy or heavy overcast) conditions. My camera is fine when the sun is shining.
I also don't have an auto focus. Some of the identical cameras (I don't know the make) have a manual focus, but mine seems to be 'sealed'.

The Apeman I use has been very reliable
I had 1 pic Saturday where the sun made a large shadow in gutter but that’s rare
I find it’s great for inspecting and taking snapshots 👍
I need to delete photos 😀
Most people have family pics on their phones
I’m chocka with gutter pics 🤦♂️

Love my go pro hero. £100 off the bay and handy for other stuff too

Which one have you got? Can't find one for £100??

I splashed out on an apeman about 18 months ago, I think it was £40ish, but it's paid for itself in terms of keeping me off ladders at silly angles and letting a custy see what's in their gutter. I charge for a look with the camera, which takes about 10 minutes from set up to putting back in the van.
Obviously you don't get the quality of a go pro or a quality drone, but then if I contrive to wreck the camera it's only £40 and the sd card is recoverable.

Can you sync the Apeman to your phone ??

Anyone got any links to these cameras?
The only link so far is for the skyvac one and it's overpriced and poor quality.

Hello Soupy
Not sure who I bought mine off of
But this looks same 👍
Plus goodies and 2 batteries 🔋 I also bought
Quick loq camera holder off Gardiners
Now use old Slx pole as inspection pole 👍
Trying to find away to fix camera case to carbon gutter goose neck
Araldite glue me thinks 🤔
Time 🕰️ lost through switching vac pole to slx to vac then inspect
As said DV king app to view and download pics
I what’s app some before and after pics to customers
But just do around 6-8 pics now as it gets ridiculous 😀

Very much the same as mine (akaso action camera).
I think they're pretty much all the same, and come with all the fixings. I just put mine on an old plastic gooseneck and it connects over its own Wi-Fi to my phone. The phone is mounted on a silicon phone holder that is meant for bicycles, cost around £5 from Amazon.
It all goes nicely on a spare slx27 I have, with a Gardiners gutter spike added to the gooseneck. I use the gooseneck to run along the gutter, so it kind of guides the camera at the right distance and angle from the inside of the gutter so I don't have to look up from the camera as I do it.

I use a GoPro Hero 3 and it does suffer with Wi-Fi disconnections on anything just over normal gutter height.
What’s this apeman like on that please? Does it do live preview? TIA

I haven’t got a charger Spruce, I just use usb cable and plug 🔌 into side of camera.
I have x3 batteries 🔋
They don’t last long
🤔 20 minutes maybe half an hour
No worse than the campark or go pro 3
I had.
I take a look and a few pics then switch off camera 🎥

Hello yes I had go pro 3 and a campark that gutter vac systems praise.
Didn’t buy theirs got cheaper and all mentioned are useless,
Apeman is reliable think 🤔 I’ve lost connection once.
Had apeman inspecting gutters at full stretch of slx 27 no problem, taking pics 👍

It says it has 10M Wi-Fi connection which is I think better than go pro.
It does live preview though?

Yes live view , recording, taking pics👍
I’m on a gutter clearing Facebook group and found an old post regarding these cameras
They seem to be one of the best for value, reliability, performance 👍
Thanks lee
