Milwaukee 2300-20 M-Spector Digital Inspection Camera Review
Buy this with reasonable expectations and you’ll be glad to have it. It’s not intended to have infinite distance focus or a super tiny probe diameter. Also, plan to have to become accustomed to the image not always being “right side up” on the screen. You can turn the probe so that the image is oriented correctly, but it works great either way. The three LED intensity settings allow you to avoid the bright spots others have complained about by using lower power when you’re looking at something close to the probe or high power when it’s a few feet away. I have used it to find a broken bolt on the back side of the engine, and to trace some wiring in my old home. It worked great for these purposes and you can’t beat the price.

The picture was in color and the “bright spot” that I had read about was negligible on the highest setting. I would probably not pay more than one-hundred dollars for this product considering the work I do. I think this is very useful in viewing otherwise impossible to see areas. I don’t however see the thick, rigid cable easily passing around a p-trap. I had also read about the picture freezing when the cable was moved. This has yet to happen to me. I was able to see object details better than with my unaided eye at close range. Overall, I’m pleased with the product and expect that innovations will lead to better viewing and remote cable control.

Yesterday I performed what could only be described as a colonoscopy on my living room wall, using this product. I was trying to snake some audio video cables a few feet down a wall that contained insulation, and I was using this camera to guide the cables past the insulation. There are better ways to snake wires but I had just purchased this and wanted to test it out. It’s kind of difficult to work with, the flexi-stiff cable is a bit cumbersome, but it got the job done.

The camera head is much too large to be practical for use in most confined areas. Also, the gooseneck is too large in diameter and much too heavy (it tends to droop down) to manipulate easily. There is too much glare off the LED light. The LCD display is small, somewhat grainy, and hard to make out at times. I noticed some stress cracks in the plastic body of the unit where the gooseneck meets the body. I don’t know how this tool will hold up in the long run. Overall I’d say it’s more of a novelty item than something that’s truly useful.

The unit itself seems to be well made. The screen is clear and the camera and light function well. I have held a provision model and the rigid model which are both slightly more expensive and I prefer this one. It has four lights modes (none, bright, brighter, brightest) and a zoom function. The 3/4 inch head is larger then you might think, but putting both a camera and LED on a unit will lead to that. It also ships in its own case. I got the AA battery model as I knew I wouldn’t be using this a lot and even with lithium batteries I don’t trust them to work if I put this on a shelf for 3-6 months at a time. This was even 10 years from now this unit should function and I won’t be looking to replace a lithium battery pack. Like any model in this range understanding the proper orientation of what you are looking at will be difficult an the viewing angle will be small and the range may not be great in a long space. This is not a fault of the unit though it is just the constraints on the technology for the price.
