Be cautious of bending the camera cable or wrapping it to tightly for storage.

Teslong has advised the fallowing: "do not store the borescope in the original hard storage case. The small case requires you to wind the camera cable too tightly which can damage the internal wiring inside the cable."

Teslong Customer Update Email
October 2019

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for purchasing our NTG100 rifle borescope! We are grateful that you chose Teslong for your rifle bore inspection needs.

As a professional manufacturer of inspection cameras, the NTG100 Rifle Borescope is our first attempt in the field of firearm inspection. Fortunately, a large number of consumers have now put a great value on our scope after an American shooting friend of ours pointed out the need for a high resolution, but reasonably priced device. We carefully read each comment we receive on Amazon and we follow the message boards on Sniper’s Hide forum. We truly appreciate the encouragement and support we have received with this product and we are committed to further improvement of our rifle borescopes.

As I mentioned above, the inspection of a rifle barrel's interior is a new application for us. While our prior knowledge gained from years of endoscope production was very helpful, the need to downsize, to miniaturize all parts in order for the camera to fit into even a .22 caliber rifle caused some initial parts weakness. We heard of a couple of problems from a few customers during the first batch of sales. These problems are unforgivable on any product, but all those customers have decided to wait for our after-sales and replacement units. We are extremely indebted for your tolerance and understanding as we bring out this brand new product.

We make no excuses for the problems our customers have experienced, and we are committed to customer satisfaction with our products. Below I have listed the common issues our customers have experienced with our borescope and what we are doing to address these issues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem 1 - When the camera cable is wound too tightly, the wire inside the cable can break.

If you purchased one of the early versions of this rifle borescope, please do not store the borescope in the original storage case. The small case requires you to wind the camera cable too tightly which can damage the internal wiring inside the cable.

To help address this problem we are reinforcing the internal structure of the cable to provide more integrity. We are also switching to a larger case and adding a reminder to the cable indicating that winding the cable too tightly can damage the product.

In addition to these improvements, we have also lengthened the service/replacement period to 36 months. If you experience any issues with your borescope, please send us your Amazon order number with a brief explanation of the problems you have experienced. If necessary, we will send you a replacement borescope.

Problem 2 - The side-view mirror can fall off.

We are applying a stronger adhesive to the mirror which helps prevent the mirror from coming lose.

To our customers that purchased an early NTG100 Rifle Borescope, we will send you a better mirror by other paper mail. The paper mail will be slow, please wait a few days. If your original mirror does not have a problem, please just keep the new one as a spare part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have experienced any problems with one of our products we would like to sincerely apologize. We are committed to your satisfaction and would like the opportunity to make it right!

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to send us an email. We are committed to making a good product and we want to own up to our mistakes.

If you like our product, we would appreciate hearing about your experience on Amazon. The success of our product relies on your feedback and we look forward to reading your review!

We appreciate your business and would like to thank you for choosing Teslong!

Best Regards,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To help center the probe in a bore, use rubber O-Rings (different thickness for different bore diameters)
One about a 1/2" back from the head, and another 2 to 3" further back.

(I use them on my wand style bore-scopes as well)

Thanks for posting,Tagging this thread.

Seems obvious but the light seems to strong. Adjust it until it almost turns off. Until full power. Can’t seem to find a happy medium.
Any tips?

 

[jpx2rk]

I turn my light level down as low as possible, but then still have to wiggle or move the cable just a wee bit to move the business end to "adjust" the light even more for a better view. It takes some practice and time to get the correct lighting on a spot you want to see/take a photo, and can be frustrating to say the least.

Donavan, do you lubricate the o-ring with anything to make it slip through the barrel? Thanks!

Thanks for this tip! What size O rings are you using?

 

[ToddP]

Does anyone have tips on keeping the mirror in place? Even with the "locking" ring tightened, moving the borescope through the bore tends to cause the mirror and locking ring to loosen, resulting in the camera going out of focus.

 

[DShortt]

Instead of o-rings, you can also wrap masking tape around the cable to center it. # of wraps will depend on bore diameter. If it won't fit in the bore, that's too many. If it still wobbles around too much, that's too few.

 

[SteveUrban]

Buy the adapter kit that has 4 different sizes. It works great.

I had that problem initially. I changed to setting mirror for best image, tighten lock ring, then tighten mirror against lock ring. Hasn't loosened since.

tighten lock ring, then tighten mirror against lock ring.

How do you tighten the lock ring without butting it against something? Can’t remember my model number but it’s a rigid model with one lock ring.

Rather curious just what that means myself.

The lock ring tightens against the mirror assembly - finger tight is enough to keep it from moving.

I knew that much. What confused me was the wording. “tighten lock ring, THEN tighten mirror against lock ring”

I put some teflon tape on the threads. Its tricky because threads are so small. You may say a few obscene words or even make up a few in the process.

 

[jelenko]

On my Teslong screen on an Android, there's an icon that seems to indicate changing the view from vertical to horizontal.
When I press it, the 'horizonal' view appears to be higher magnification, less shadows but less clarity.
Anyone else notice this?
