Image quality is good, especially from the front camera, though we’d argue that despite Desptech’s claim, the image isn’t sharp much beyond a meter (3ft) – but that’s still far better than most. General operation is easier to manage than some, and the menu isn’t challenging either. The device powers up quickly, with only a brief flash of the ‘Depstech’ logo before you’re looking through the camera and able to work. (Image credit: Adam Juniper) Depstech DS500 performance The side lens has only one LED to illuminate its view. Operating the probe is much the same as other endoscopes in terms of pushing the semi-rigid flex down a hole, with the exception that a long-press of the image rotation button (top left of the cluster) switches lenses. Once you’ve set a language and date-and-time here for your recording’s metadata there isn’t a lot more to do. Pressing the backlit rubber buttons requires a firm press and a menu can be invoked which is operated using the same keys which control the probe brightness in normal operation. The weight is a reassuring 438g (about a pound), rising to 622g with the flex attached in no way too heavy to use and the plastic feels firm if not luxurious. Attaching the camera cable is via a screwed 5-pin socket on the back, while a 32GB TF card is already in the socket next to the charging port (though both, and a recessed reset button, are safely hidden beneath a rubber seal). Open it up and you’ll find the main unit opposite a welcome guide and, underneath a padded flap, the flex and accessories. The DS500 makes a good first impression, not least because it arrives in a good quality zipped hard case. It get very good reviews from end users.(Image credit: Adam Juniper) Depstech DS500 build and handling Quick Camera can be downloaded from Mac APP Store.
