Anyone bought an inexpensive Endoscope type camera?

Not for my bike. I have a small yet persitsant wet patch on our lounge ceiling, directly above is the bath corner.

A local plumber investigated, he diagnosed it was caused by a leak on the bath/shower area that he videoed. Leak has not been fully cured by the plumber, he fixed the bath seal leak, obviously two leaks. I had a free second visit when some additional sealing was done on a small section.

Leak appeared to be fixed, it has returned after a couple of days, it's linked to when the shower is used, it's not any of the shower pipework or joints. all bone dry. The leak appears to go away for a few days then return, consistent with maybe a copper pipe leaking at a compression fitting or similar.

I made a small hole in the center of the wet patch to avoid more of the ceiling being affected. I suspect it might be the hot water pipe that is in the cavity between the floor boards & the lounge ceiling.

Has anyone here used one of the inexpensie Endescoppe cameras that have a built in LED lamp?
I'm thinking I need to check this out myself before I start cutting a bigger hole in the ceiling.
This wet patch started in late summer 2024 then seemed to hibernate until just before Christmas when it returned.

We had a leak like that below the bathroom. It was hard to track down but turned out to be a longitudinal split in the plastic waste water pipe that only leaked when hot water from bath or shower made the pipe expand.

I had a £6ish quid one that plugged into my phone, it had a light in the end that was adjustable for brightness.   Pretty decent for six quid.  I lost it somewhere, probably hanging out with the side cover grommets😃

This was it

Oddjob:
I’d suspect a leak around the shower myself Ted, if the pipes look dry and it only leaks when the showers used then it’s most likely running down the side of the shower tray/bath and running to the lowest point before dripping down.
