    What about pulling off the brush on one of these[^], and mounting an LED and WiFi camera? You'd still be well under that 25K.

    Why not leave the brush on there...he can clean and see what he's cleaning at the same time.

      I'm sure my ex-wife will crawl around in sewers for you (she's used to it, I'm sure). The only problem with that is that has no hope in hell of fitting in a 6-inch pipe (or even a 66-inch pipe). She lives in a trailer in Oklahoma, and I'm sure you can get here pretty cheap. All of her other husbands have.

      That level of Man-Bitching deserves more than the 5 I just voted. But I hear she has experience of fiddling with a 6" pipe.

        I've been pricing robotic cameras for sewer pipe inspections, and I'm appalled at the pricing! For a unit that can traverse a 6" pipe, they want $25,000, and that's before options to make it more usable! I'm thinking that $5000 is more realistic, assuming only a 1000% profit. Does anyone know of such a product, or something that can be adapted to this purpose, that sells for a more realistic price? Note that while it must be water resistant, it doesn't have to be water proof as we drain the line before inspection.

            I recently looked into these as well (was thinking of buying one instead of paying someone 150$ to come check the sewer line from my new house out to the street.) The prices I found disuaded me... However, here is one good for up to 130ft for $1100 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YDLRJI/ref=asc_df_B003YDLRJI1339802?smid=ACXZDXAAF532Y&tag=nextagusmp0404127-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B003YDLRJI[^]

                          It does indeed! :-D Considering the markup of $500 worth of parts, I'd call it a below-ground-floor opportunity! I told the boss that if he'll buy me the machine tools, I'll have a prototype done in a jiffy, at a much lower cost.

                            Build two and sell one for a massive mark-up, offsetting the cost of the first. (The accountant inside me speaks!)
