Options to inspect a cartridge from below - mirrored loope, endoscope?
I would like to order a device to look at the underside of my cartridge without pulling the cartridge off my tone arm
Just staring from the side doesn’t cut it. One with a light would be ideal although I can point my snake arm turntable light in the area I am looking at.
If there is the option to transmit the image to my ipad, phone, etc (wireless or broadcast / snapshot, usb) - that would be great
Does anyone make a mirrored magnifying
High magnification would be great, variable nice too
Has anyone used an endoscope? Digital flexible inspection camera? DIno lite hand held microscopes?
I don’t mind spending some nice coin (but not too nice) as I can use it in some science projects as well.
Thanks

Wow just what I need. Major thanks! Just want to get some good magnified views of my cartridge from various angles, especially below. I was looking at $200 alternatives (to use for science demonstrations too) i would have liked a mac version, oh well, drag out the old retired laptop here is an insightful review of this and another cheap usb magnifiers (you can skip forward to the good stuff) https://www.eevblog.com/2014/01/07/eevblog-566-cheap-usb-microscope-reviews/ he likes the Andonstar, looks good thanks again |
Folkfreak thanks for the insights i really just want a crude view of the condition of my stylus funny - the dino lites were just what I was looking at quality/price wise as I was narrowing things down (also might still buy one to use for kids outreach science education) but I decided to buy this based on price for an quick view - 80% / $50 solution. it looks like both units can go hand held as shown in tthe photo link wluke linked to. Thanks for discussing the limitaions of doing this. yes I considered groung clearance. I use an SRA stand on an SRA rack. Total clearance to cartridge is 7". lets see how this works thanks |
