                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's an excellent suggestion, but I'm afraid the lines in question are a bit longer than 130'. I may still try it, as I can design a decent video amp to extend the cable, but the boss keeps me stuck in admin stuff these days, and doesn't let me play designer very often. :(

                      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.

                      I'm glad that you're not feeling bitter about her, John. :-D I'd send in my own ex, as she's rather slender (well, she was until her new hubby - poor kid - got her knocked up), but she was so full of it I fear that it would only make matters worse. I am so glad she's in Texas...

                                That should work, but where will I find a 500' snake? And how will it carry a camera without opposable thumbs?

                                      Roger, I don't know anything about sewer pipes, save for the fact that they are super gross and liquid plumber magically fixes them when they get clogged. Beyond that, I'm thinking you get yourself a Lego Mindstorm NTX kit, a wireless web cam and build your own S.L.U.D.G.E (Super Lego Underground Droid for Gunk Examination) Bot. And if that doesn't work out, which I'm fairly certain it won't, throw a Nerf gun on top and you can have endless fun using your co-workers for Nerf target practice; not that I would ever endorse such childish behavior ... unless the robot looked like a Dalek, in which case, I would totally endorse that, especially if you get it to fire a plunger at people. Good-luck.

                                      Great idea! But those blocks tend to come apart at the worst of times, and I wouldn't care to be the one to chase after them down there.

                                          How far does the robot have to traverse? If not far can it have an umbilical? If not far and can have an umbilical is a simple matter of mounting a camera on something as simple as an RC car?, or other small wheeled object? If farther would have to get a Wireless transmitter and receiver, all depends on how much DIY you want to put into it. I got this [^] as a first hit when googling.

                                          Good site, and worth looking into - forgive the pun. Sewers are required by code to have manholes every 300', but service laterals have no limits. I'm thinking about 500' should be a minimum, which gets a little unmanageable with an umbilical. I've suggested calling in a proctologist, but that didn't go over very well.

                                          Will Rogers never met me.
