Options to inspect a cartridge from below - mirrored loope, endoscope?


I would like to order a device to look at the underside of my cartridge without pulling the cartridge off my tone arm

Just staring from the side doesn’t cut it. One with a light would be ideal although I can point my snake arm turntable light in the area I am looking at.


If there is the option to transmit the image to my ipad, phone, etc (wireless or broadcast / snapshot, usb) - that would be great

Does anyone make a mirrored magnifying


High magnification would be great, variable nice too


Has anyone used an endoscope? Digital flexible inspection camera? DIno lite hand held microscopes?

I don’t mind spending some nice coin (but not too nice) as I can use it in some science projects as well.


Thanks


Tom

I use the Adonstar USB microscope. Under $60 on Ebay. It works with both PC and Mac (plug-n-play with Photobooth). Search 2MB USB digital microscope

My Adonstar came several attachments including a 45 degree mirror that snaps on the end.  It's a great tool. The link is to photos I posted at the VPI forum.
Amazon has several identical products branded under various names other than Adonstar.   The one with the flexible gooseneck instead of the solid stand gets low marks on stability so stay away.
