Great news. Now I can order one
Thanks for that, I was wanting to hear some reviews on that one!
Got my wifi version tonight as well. It blows away the Lyman I was using.
The neat thing I didn’t realize was it is truly wireless as it operates off of a rechargeable battery. Best $75 I’ve spent in a while

Even though I just got the Teslong wired camera and think it’s great, the wireless one is hard for me to ignore at $75.

In addition to these models, there will be the version with rod, the version with a cheap 3.5inch monitor, and the upgraded mirror set. Will soon~~

Please describe what the "upgraded mirror set" includes, and when it will be available. Thanks!
I've been using the Lyman borescope for the last year. Does the job, but the image quality is nothing to get excited about.
I'd love to hear a comparison of the image quality between the Lyman and the Teslong from anyone who has used both.
I have used both, and I can tell you that the image of produced by the Teslong is far superior to the Lyman. I also like that you can adjust the light intensity which helps reduce the light wash out.

I agree completely. My Lyman has gone into hibernation since I received my Teslong. No comparison at all on image quality.

I concur
Here’s a quick run down on the new Wi-Fi one.

For those with airguns .20 and larger this tool is great to have. Don't think for a minute that airguns will not lead up. This is one of my RWS Diana 34 .22 cal spring piston rifles. I run a Hoppes solvent covered bronze brush through every 1000 shots to restore top accuracy. I only run H&N FTT 14.6 gr. pellets in these guns.
Maybe some day Teslong will come out with a .17 cal. unit.

I asked Teslong customer support a question yesterday about any plans for a 17 cal. instrument in the future. I got this reply a short time ago.

Dear bobm,
Thanks for contacting us.
We don't have a .17 size bore scope at this moment.
It has no economic module camera to applied for a .17 size rifle bore scope. It would be very expensive. So we don't have plan to develop it at this stage.
Thank you.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Best Regards

Well here I set with a new bore scope that has given me a overload of information that I can't decipher. Yes I can see all the things that are mentioned, erosion, carbon, copper and even worm holes. I can tell that this is going to drive me nuts trying to get my bore as clean as a new one. Then after all is said and done I am thinking that my rifles aren't going to shoot any better after they are super cleaned than before. I will have waisted days, yes days on the net and cleaning rifles. just to stay as confused as ever, and gain nothing.
My wife says I should just stick to putting it up my nose. Her first reaction to that was ''that's discusting''
Well back to cleaning my already clean rifles. See you later.

Link, I did that nose probe thing for my wife, too. Got the same reaction. She was shocked to see she has a forest of finer hairs in her nostrils. I used it recently to remove a tiny splinter in her finger. Used a pointy new Exacto knife blade while viewing the 17" screen.

Been using bore-scopes since 2007 and occasional use since 2001, for both customers barrels and my own barrels.
About the best thing they have done for me is to teach me how to clean and maintain a new barrel through it's accuracy life span.
They have also taught me how to attack and go at barrels that have been neglected, which often need there own unique individual ritual.
Can agree some what with input like @Link wrote above, in that some barrels after certain amounts of neglect and/or wear, may very well not benefit from a "super cleaning". What I have consistently seen is from the time a barrel is new, if it is cleaned often and down to "shiny blue steel" every time it is cleaned, the throat and rifling do not erode as fast, accuracy is more consistent, and they clean out with less effort and ritual. Which is why myself clean my own barrels at the end of each day, no matter if I fired 5-rounds or 105-rounds (they get put away clean and oiled). And "shiny blue steel" from day one until I retire them, is my goal. Ran-over fouling, is what layers, erodes, and harms barrels the must - IME.
I'll suggest to those new to a bore-scope: rather then looking for faults and erosion in barrels, concentrate more on developing cleaning rituals, techniques, and learning what all steps, procedures, and cleaners will work best to fulfill your own demands and needs. Perfect cleaning methods to maintain new barrels through there life, as well as for experienced barrels (which can need uniquely different rituals). Find what works best for factory barrels/rifles verses match grade barrels, both new and used.
Note: barrels that are badly layered with burned-in carbon, it's not necessarily important (or even practical) to get it all out at once, just not to let it get any worse, and maintain it better in the future. Have seen barrels that looked pretty horrible inside, that still shoot very well.

"Have seen barrels that looked pretty horrible inside, that still shoot very well."
I could not agree more, Donovan.
With that ....it's time for another photo session with the Teslong bore scope!
This is a Remington 24" SS 7mm-08 new take off barrel I installed last June. I have never looked inside it prior to today. I had it out today for another 100 shots of offhand practice. The exact round count is now 1200 shots. The powder charge has always been 40.0 grs. IMR 4320 with any brand of 120-150 gr. bullets I can find cheap.
This barrel shoots fantastic for a factory mass produced product. Today the 139 gr. Hornady SST was on the menu. A couple of three shot clusters of two inches on the 300 meter steel, then strictly offhand for the rest of the box.
I generally use this cleaning routine on all my rifles.
...wet mop bore with Hoppes #9 BR.
...ten passes each way with a proper fitting bronze brush.
...let soak five minutes while cleaning and lubing bolt.
...push through three individual patches wrapped around a Parker-Hale jag.
...rotate a tight fitting multi folded patch into the chamber neck.
...push in and twist a patch covered fat bore mop into the chamber.
Done.
This rather ugly bore delivers great accuracy.
