I'm seeking a camera with some flexibility, be small enough to fit inside the diff case, and show what can be seen inside of a used transaxle to determine its condition. I would love to do this and post some pictures. I know the back side of the threaded holes can be seen with the transmission empty and the rear plate and dip stick tube removed. Being able to see how far out the bolts have moved (or IF they have moved) would be beneficial. This could also be employed for a preventative measure when changing the fluid, especially since the Rotella substitute is much cheaper.
What I need is a camera that can at least do this:
1. Be around $50
2. Connect with USB to laptop
3. Fit diameter of transmission fill hole
4. Offer a little bit of flexibility
5. Possibly offer its own light source

I would recommend the Snap On it has the smallest camera that I have found but it's over your budget. I think it is around 600.00. The thing works great I have used it on a lot of engines.
