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 🤦‍♂️

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.
The good thing about science is that it's true whether you believe it or not.

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 😀
