I purchased the 4188xt in March of 2022. I had been trained on a few models by another manufacturer but have never used the Forebest scope. I was starting my business, so this was budget-friendly, and it fit well in my work truck. Transportation and carrying up to the roof, if needed, is pretty simple. When I first purchased I had a few multi-family inspections that I used nearly all 200ft of the pushrod. Fast forward a couple hundred inspections later I noticed the pushrod was deflecting more when I would push on it vs moving the camera forward. It happened slowly, but it made inspections more challenging. I'm in the process of replacing the cable. Video uploads are done off-site and to my YouTube channel. Screen quality in the field is not great, but your video quality is much better, so the client gets a great video. If you use IOS and want to view it directly, you will have some challenges. Converting video is a pain versus uploading, as I mentioned. Customer service has been great. I've purchased a couple of slides directly from Forebest. I have recently just purchased a new 4188kB with the 8mm cable this should be a nice addition to my toolset.
