VSATEN USB Otoscope, Digital Ear Camera 720HD Ear Scope Inspection Camera with 6 LEDs Light, Ear Wax Removal Endoscope for Android Smartphone Tablet, Windows & MacBook OS Computer (Not Fit for iPhone)

There are a lot of Five star reviews here and they are mostly the same. This made me think that there was something fishy going on. I just bit the bullet and bought it anyway because of the price compared to similar products, It arrived on time, the package includes a whole set of cleaning tools and the camera has a long USB/Mico cable. Set up is easy, up and running in minutes.Some negative reviews are not accurate (May be due to product update):It does work with Windows 10, I did see another review that said it doesn't. incorrect too. The software is not not sketchy at all, but it's FPS and lag is not good. This does work with any camera app, Windows camera software is much faster for real time feed back and the image quality is better. For other camera software like Media Player Classic. VLC, YawCam. YouCam...etc. be sure to change the video steam to to PAL.Product use:Getting use to the orientation of the camera takes practice. The amazing thing is the magnification, it is like having a portable microscope. If you ever tried to navigate with a microscope camera, then you'll understand why navigation is difficult and why you need a really steady hand. You maybe tempted to push in to the ear canal, this is not necessary. Put the device just outside the ear canal and shine the light in. You will be able to see your ear drum. slowly move in to get a closer look. The latency lag with the default software is terrible. For windows 10, I recommend the windows store camera or some other Hardware accelerated software. The attachments are for cleaning but they do also help illuminate the inside of the ear. If the attachment obscures your view too much, look in your ear without the attachment.Cleaning:My ears have been itching too frequently. I had a look and saw that my ears did not have wax, but there was a lot of dry flakey skin. I used the sticky attachment and was able to clean it all up. You can get close to the ear drum, but if you have impacted wax next to the ear drum, you should see a doctor to have it removed. This attachments for this device are not meant for probing close to the ear drum, which is a good thing for safety reasons. If you have a steady hand and want to clean right up to your ear drum, then you should purchase a more professional kit, but that is pricy.

Unfortunately I cannot fully recommend this product at the price point of $40, $20 is more reasonable for the following reasons. Firstly, the size of the scope can be a problem, you may or may not have clearance issues at certain angles so using the included removal tools may not be applicable . Secondly, while its supposed to be 720p the quality even with a phone with a high end display is lacking but is still good enough to see what you need to see.. In all, an Otoscope with a 1080p camera and a Thinner scope would be a better buy, 720P at a $20/$40 price is not worth the cost/quality.Edit: Oct 2019 to reflect quality of customer service, +1 StarEdit: Dec 2019 Unit stopped consistently working with the app and the picture from the camera no longer provides a clear picture, as such it can no longer be used.Edit: Aug 2020 - It still works actually, the reason why it "stopped working" apparently had to do with my phone having Android 10, which for whatever reason no longer supports this kind of a device, so a device with an OS BEFORE Android 10 will continue to function, which is how i found out it still works due to the OS warning on the CameraFi2 app which made me decide to try a different phone. So rating has been changed to reflect that it in fact still works.

Returned mine as soon as I could. The camera resolution was not so good and it heated up after a few minutes of use... good flashlight tho

This tool helo me get a better idea of whats wrong with my kiddos. I used to go to the doctor alot because i thought my kids had eat underground since they would tug on they're ears often. But now I'm able to look inside and see if i really need top GO top the doctor. Connects just fine to my android phone just fine and the little camera is so powerful. It's a little tricky to get an image buscado you need to position it in a way that e camera is not too close so it can focus. But once you can get the hang of it, it is amazing. Ypu can see hair particles hairs. We're even able to see into the mouth . Just make sure you supervise your kiddos if they ate cooking too lazy with it as they get very excited. Great sturdy material, and the camera and was rounded so it was comfortable fpr going in the ear.

This otoscope lasted 7 months. Sometimes the live picture quality was bad and you had tap on it to get it to clear up. The photo quality was always slightly blurry making it difficult to share it with the dr. Over time the live picture are got smaller and smaller no matter how well it was cleaned. Over all, it did what I needed, just not what I wanted.

I was pleased at the quality of pictures this camera was able to capture of my eardrum! The adjustable light was a nice feature as well. The C to USB adapter that is built in to the cord of this otoscope made connecting the camera to my Samsung Galaxy S8+ a total breeze. The application was simple to download and with the easy to read instructions I had the scope up and running in under 10 minutes. The attachments that come with this otoscope kit are great and will help us with our at home ear health needs.

Bought this to look into my elderly Dad's ear. I was extremely disappointed as there was little documentation that came with it and I had to search online for some. I never was able to get it to work on my samsung s9 phone. I did email their support and they were very responsive but we could not get it to work. It did work, however, on my PC so I tried that but the light gets hot inside the ear rather quickly and it burns. You can only use it for short bursts and not long enough to be usefull for us. I am returning the product to find one that has a light that does not get hot and maybe a better picture & one that works on my phone easily. I gave them 2 stars because of their good response time via email and I generally throw out the 1 & 5 star reviews to get what the product is really like for most customers.
