Snake Scope

The Snake Scope is a thoroughly clever bendy camera that you can poke into all kinds of hard-to-reach places. It's great for poking around in engines, down the back of the sofa or seeing round corners when you're undercover.

Not only can it see round corners, but you can also light your way thanks to the LED lights on the end (which are dimmable). It's also 100% waterproof, so if you fancy monitoring the health of your u-bend then all you need to do is stick it down there. Can't think why you'd want to do that, though.

Anyway, the camera itself returns great quality 640 x 480 pictures and can take stills as well, so you needn't worry about not being able to make out whatever it is that you're filming. You can also switch between colour and black & white modes, which means you can give a film-noir quality to your footage of behind the radiators. This camera is great fun, but genuinely useful as well.
