$10 Cube-A-Scope, DIY Cheap Boroscope

The year is 2012, the Great Cube War of Call Center Six has all but decimated productivity. You need an edge, I way to give you the upper hand. You need to achieve victory! Behold, The Cube-A-Scope 5000! When not in use gathering reconnaissance and protecting your boarders, The Cube-A-Scope can function as a standard webcam! In fact, the Cube-A-Scope can be had for as little as FREE!!! That's right, advancement in modern manufacturing have all but eliminated the middle man. Teams of researchers have spent countless hours toiling over top secret documents to make this technology available for the public! XDXDXD

  On a more serious note, I had some much fun playing with the cam, I almost forgot to publish the Instuctable. You can build this the way I did, or you could have the cables zip tied(*note zip tying will give the same result but save a lot of time)

This is great! Do you think it would work as well to use a camera from a phone?

Yes, this webcam actually has six of them around the lens.

Great build! I I recently built a similar camera for sticking into small spaces for automotive and electronics work. I think it would be a good spy cam too.

Hey thats good, what about putting a Led light to see in dark places ?

[HydeTheJekyll]

It wont look as nice, but you could use a wire coat hanger in a pinch.

nicely done! reminds me of the cameras they put under the door in movies to see how many people are in the room before they bust in the door! i have a couple old webcams i could use for this...now just to find a flex neck....
