@@jeremynewman6842 look up Billy Chong on Facebook and send him a message

If it’s that black push rod camera I have one and it does the same thing. Absolute garbage. I think it’s the push rod cuz I have 2 heads for that camera and they both do it. Mine sits on a shelf. Not only for that reason though, the push rod is horrible too. I never got passed 40’ with it

@@terjavec yea black cable. Yea not the best lol, trying to get it back going

@@marct1660 yeah it ended up being a bad push rod but then the replacement also went bad shortly after. So I don’t use that one that much. But I still use them. They’re good little cameras, I just had bad luck with push rods haha

@terjavec cheers

Qyteco is sold by Mia Meng. Billy Chong sells a different brand

Depends on what you want. My favorites are the Billy Chong cameras but basically just go to Facebook and look up someone named Billy Chong and talk to him through messenger. Otherwise you can find me and I can send you his profile. Or for the qyteco you can look up Mia Meng on Facebook

Pretty impressive for a little 4.8mm push rod

@@Larry-0850 absolutely, this one is probably my favorite camera

@@frankspencer3440 204 my brother.

@@northvillejam my go to locator for anything is my metrotech vloc3-cam locator

The only way I know is through Facebook messenger

Oh alright I thought you were talking about this new one haha. I think for a camera that is capable of doing virtually every drain inside of a house, that little one would probably be your best option. I want to say it’s 4.8mm push rod. Self leveling is nice but it’s not hard to figure out what top and bottom is

@@terjavec Thanks again for your help. We ended buying the mini and also his locator after watching your videos. I told him he is lucky to have you out there.

@@MontgomeryPaper ​​⁠oh that’s awesome. That locator is just as accurate as high end locators. It’s just a little harder to initially find the signal.

Hard to say. I haven’t got a chance to use this one one yet. It’s a different manufacturer than the older red one. I know the red ones that were awesome in like 2”-6”. This greenish push rod is slightly smaller so I don’t know how it’ll compare. I was hoping to use it today but the opportunity never came up. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get to try it out

@@n.l-hr6ot I don’t think the full size red push rod will but the I know the smaller blue one can

@@FaNTi5YTV I love flex shafts, depending on the situation I generally try them first. I don’t have the 204+ but I that the regular 204, 102 and 306. In the 306 I haven’t broke my cable yet so I’m still using the ridgid cable. I’m using the 6mm plumber tools cable in my 102 and I usually run the 8mm plumber tools cable in my 204 but I’m currently using the ridgid dead core cable in it, which is basically the same thing. I prefer ridgids sheathing over plumber tools so in the 204 with plumber tools cable, I use air brake tubing for sheathing

@@vicv1597 I got this from jet flexi in the uk. I used it a handful of times now and I’ve basically destroyed the cable. I just got a 100’ grabber tool from boldan but it runs off an air compressor. I haven’t used it yet but it looks promising

Hey there, sorry I’ve never had a viztrac but I’d assume they are similar to kyrie, probuilt tools, secon, etc. For qyteco, I ordered mine from Mia Meng on Facebook. I believe you can get them from either alibaba or madeinchina

Pretty sure it’s for the wireless keyboard

@@cesarestrada1283 well it all kind of depends on your budget, but to just get started for not a ton of money invested you contact Billy Chong on Facebook and get his smaller red camera and his locator. I’m a huge fan of his cameras but I prefer better locator. The locator I use is a Metrotech Vloc3-cam but it’s expensive

@@terjavec thank you taking the time to answer. What is the price of the Metrotech?

@@terjavec I see, yes it’s expensive. So yeah I will start with more low budget locator Thank you very much

@@cesarestrada1283 I don’t really remember but I think it was around $3k. But it’s a very good locator. Also if you get one, I’d opt for their rechargeable battery. I’ve been using that battery pack for about a year now and I haven’t had to charge it yet and I locate pretty much every day

@@terjavec Hi again, I have make more investigation about my most commun need with other people who works in the rat control inspection and they told me that most of the time I will be making inspection 3 or 4 inch pipes diameters. So which of the billy Chong camera with leveling head would you recommend me, taking into consideration that I can only afford 1 camera for now and I will use it for straight pipes and for 90 degrees angles in 3” or 4” diameters. I prefer the opinion of Somme one who has work with them on the field. Thank you for your time.

I haven’t but I’m pretty sure they are like the same as the metrotech. In general the cheaper Chinese cameras have very small sondes and don’t work as well as like a ridgid sonde. But if you don’t need to down to like 8’ deep the Chinese cameras are just fine

@@terjavec houses and 6plex buildings how deep their sewer lines goes normally?

Mine didn’t come with a mirror either. I ordered one off ebay for cheap. It was really easy to install

Hey there. I’ve only used it a handful of times but its worked great every time so far

@@terjaveccan you post a video of it in action? Was hoping to learn if the sonde is better quality than the the 23mm

@@BradGulledge-sj5gt I’m pretty sure I made a video with the sonde on this one, I think the sonde is better on this one than the small ones. I’ll check if I have a video

I’m using a locator with that camera in this video ruclips.net/video/OBSbOPe0nf0/видео.htmlsi=23xWkYHG4nNV0FuB

Any chance you could do a video of this camera in action (like pushing through a pipe)? Was hoping you could give some feedback after using it for awhile. Max distance pushed, etc. Would hope this was more functional than the last pan tilt you reviewed of Billy's. Th epush rod only being 7mm I wonder how far it can actually be useful for.

I forgot to say that the part would be for a k9-102. Thanks.

Hi there, I’m not sure if you’re looking for the coupling for the 204 or the 102 but the part number for the 204 coupling is 65868 and the part number for the 102 is 65863. I’m not sure on the size of the dies for the crimping tool off hand but I bought a cheap one off eBay for like $40 that had a bunch of different sizes and it had the correct sizes with it

He 100% is… however this was a qyteco camera. I have like the same one from him as this one but I was in a rush and this one was closer for me to grab haha

Great video!

Yes it’s always on

I guess I don’t really know how to answer that. It’s a 3/8” cable but it’s still pretty flexible. I wish it was stiffer so it could be pushed long distances easier. Generally what I do is push my ridgid m40 camera in the line first, if my camera can push to the clog, then the 306 can. I primarily use this for root removal in 6” clay lines. These flex shafts aren’t too good at thick toilet paper clogs

So on the qyteco, it ended up not being the board, it was the push rod. I replaced it and it would good. However, a couple months later, the push rod did it again. But, there was something wrong with the board too but I found out that they all did. They all had battery drain issues but that had been fixed. I replaced my board again like a month or 2 ago and it completely fixed my battery issue

Also I’m still using my original camera from Billy Chong. His seem to be much better as far as durability

It’s the switch to turn the machine on

Thanks for the video, man. I'm still on the fence about buying one of these. Lol.

@@kevinhorsley8372 man the 306 is a beast. Destroys roots like instantly

Man, I should just order one and get it over with.

I don’t know about yours but I don’t have any issues with mine, the mirror sits back so far in my 2023 that I could have a screen extending the length of the windshield and the visor still wouldn’t touch it

@@terjavec I think it may come down to preference in visor usage. My wife and I both will push the visor forward all the way to the glass. Although, technically speaking, you don't have to do this as you get the same effect having the visor at the same angle facing you. None the less we do push all the way back to the front wind shield glass, passing the rear view mirror. Measuring it looks like I have about an 1 and 1/4 inch clearance. The g900 looks like it needs more than that on the camera side. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

@@timmeyer111 I usually have my visor all the way to glass too but like I said, at least on my 23, the mirror is so far back that it would be impossible for the visor to hit it no matter how wide that mirror was. I never had one on my 2016 so I can’t recall if the mirrors were in the same place or not

Yeah my sonde on my nano quit working the second time I ever used it. Ridgid won’t fix it under warranty either

I don’t have either of those but I’d assume it’s the sonde in the camera is weak. All of my cheaper cameras have weak sondes compared to my better cameras. I wish they would put better sondes in there cuz that’s the only reason I still keep ridgid and other cameras in my van

@@terjavec well that my im planning to get me a gen eye or ridgid sewer camera ,, but you know they are very high priced ,, so i would like to make a comparing between those camera ,, i like forbest they got good quality image and they affordable compare to ridgid or gen eye

@@carlossosa2940I have 3 ridgid cameras and I got them all off eBay. Sometimes you can get good deals

@@terjavec do you think is there any chance to put a ridgid or gen eye sonde transmiter on any other cheap camera ,, thats the only thing im concern about my forbest ,, giving me hard time to locate the sonde sometimes other than that ,, is all good

@@carlossosa2940 you could always duct tape a sonde onto one of those cameras.

I’ve never used one so i can’t give you a good answer, but I will say this, I don’t think I would go cheap with a locator My vloc3 is dead on every time. If I were just trying to get a general idea of where a line goes or roughly how deep then a cheap one would be fine but if I’m locating for someone to dig it up, I’m gonna make sure I’m 100% accurate

@@terjavec Thank you I appreciate that.

i have a gen eye locator and i love it easy to use i would say is better than ridgid scout

I’m not sure, you’d have to contact someone that sells them but I think I was like the 2nd sale in the USA and I believe it was around $1500

I recently uploaded a locator video comparing my vloc3-cam locator and the new forbest locator

@@terjavec awesome thanks I will check that out
