- This is the new Forbest sewer and drain camera I got from Billy Chong. I just opened it up and did a little first impression video. Seems promising. Also a little update on the skids, the white one does secure itself, the bottom unscrews from the skid so you take the head off, put the bottom part of the skid through it then screw the other part of the skid on from the other side. I’ll make another video for size comparison
Hello Tony, we really appreciate your hard work in putting out these videos. This is exactly what we are looking for. We have been looking at the Billy Chong units based on your recommendation. If we are mainly using the camera at 4” pipe and below, do you feel that the mini camera’s ability to get into small areas outweighs the self leveling capabilities of the self leveling 23mm? Thanks again for all your work.
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
As we discussed before the mini has a 4.8mm push rod and 18mm camera head. If you were two buy another camera to supplement that (I.e. just to cover bases if you need to go into a bigger pipe) would it be more like a 29mm with a 6.8mm pushrod or some other size? I was wondering about this as you get closer to 4-6” range does the 4.8mm get harder to push any distance thru the pipe.
We were actually referring to the video where you had the four Billy Chong cameras. Specifically the two ADH units in the middle between your older one and unit with the pan and tilt. As a general rule of thumb given the pipe size of under 4” and saying you could only have one camera, would you prefer the flexibility of that mini verse the self leveling of the bigger 23mm unit. Thank you for your quick response.
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.
What do you think about flex shafts what is your go to flex shaft have you ever order one off plumber tools ? Do those work or just get the rigid k204+ ?
@@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
