Anyone using Vividia GB-4510 borescope?

[Kevin1]

How is it? How does it compare to Hawkeye or Lyman Borecam?

No one? I can't find any info on this borescope. I just ordered one for $350. I'll see how it is.

Just by price I’d say probably more on par with the Lyman (the one I have) than the Hawkeye.

The original price of the GB-4510 was $450. You can get the Lyman for under $180.
What I like about the GB-450 is the thinner tube and the fact that you're not limited by a subpar LCD screen.

definitely. The Hawkeye IS 10x the Lyman.

I tested the GB-4510. It's nowhere as clear as the Hawkeye pictures that you see online. So I was a little disappointed. Then I ordered the Lyman Borecam to see how they compare. The GB-4510 is significantly sharper than the Lyman. I really don't like the Lyman. The resolution is too low for me to detect carbon rings, etc...

I'm sending it back the Lyman and keeping the GB-4510. It's no Hawkeye , but it gets the job done for half the price.
