thrill of victory, agony of defeat... teslong endoscope

Before I go investing, you guys in the know and experience with one. My understanding is it only works with smart phones, laptops and desk pc's right ? How about a table, as I don't use or have smart phone ?
 
I have used mine in a 20 cal barrel, but the mirror won't fit. Without the mirror it just fits
 
I have a Teslong Borescope and it works fine on my Mac (amazing clarity) but won't work on my iPad, I am going to buy a android tablet and I am considering an amazon Fire tablet to make the borescope more portable.
I am holding off on the fire tablet until I find out if it will actually work on it, I hate returning stuff.
If anyone tried the scope on a fire or another tablet please post the results.

Update on the Teslong and Wipe-Out:

I was so depressed about the condition of my bores when I first used my new Teslong that I decided to try Wipe-Out. Where has this stuff been all my life?!?!
One application took my .223, .280 and .30/06 to bare metal.
My .243 took 2 applications but had had very heavy copper streaks in the grooves prior to the first cleaning. Now bare metal.
Now the problem children...My two .17 Remingtons (which are too small to use the scope on but I figured they had to be just as bad as the others) are now soaking for the third time! Each patch is coming out a lovely dark blue :eek:. The Wipe-Out is working but that is how fouled they are. And all this time I thought my cleaning routine was effective.

Thanks to my Teslong, I found my errors and switched to something that actually works. Kudos to both!

I use it on my fire Tablet, but it certainly should work on an IPad.

Forum Boss:
OK you have confirmed that it works with FIRE Tablet. Thanks!

But according to MFG. it will NOT work on iPAD or iPHONE
Repeat, it will NOT work on iPAD or iPHONE

Bare metal isn't always the answer for good accuracy so along those lines, did you need to fire a certain amount of rounds to get back to former accuracy or did they shoot accurately right off the bat?

Haven't gotten that far yet. Lousey weather right now. I was much more interested in getting that darned copper out! I'll check back when I get a chance to shoot.

What were you using for cleaner before?
 
I use it on my fire Tablet, but it certainly should work on an IPad.
Thanks for the reply, the Teslong will not work on a iPad and I couldn't find a way to hack into it.
Now that I know it works for you I will in the next few minutes order a fire, I actually wanted to order one anyway to use with my target camera in place of using my iPad.
Thanks for the info.

Lately, mostly Sweet's and Butch's as well as Hoppes. In the past I've used a long line of latest craze de-coppering agents too numerous to recall. I'm not a competitive shooter, but do shoot quite a bit. I clean regularly, but obviously not thorough enough! Hard to believe each was as accurate as they were with that much copper.

Editor: My system is 4-5 soaking wet patches with Butch's or Carb-Out-- just to get the gunk out. Then two applications of Wipe-Out, ideally when barrel still warm. Foam barrel, wait 15 minutes for bubbles to dissipate, then foam again. Patch out in 4 hours.

That works VERY well for me with custom barrels, which now rarely see a brush.
