USB Video Camera for Construction
 

I was trying to wiggle a mirror around to see down the tail cone of my plane when I looked over and noticed the web cam clipped on my laptop. So now I am looking for a video camera that will plug into my laptop so i can see what's in those inaccessible places in the fuselage. The web cam I have is too bulky to fit in the tail of the plane but it has all the other features I need auto focus, auto aperture and good enough resolution (>2 Mp). So I'm looking for one less that 1/2" diameter with the lens in the end so I can tape it to a stick with a mini flashlight. I don't need storage or audio. Any idea where I can find such a camera?

Thanks for the link. However, shipping from Australia may be a bit expensive! However, I found one on eBay that should work. I'll order it when I get back from vacation in a couple of weeks.

Well, I ordered the unit before I left and received it yesterday. It is eBay item #220816330168 ,USB Borescope Endoscope Inspection Camera 5M Waterproof. The camera seems to meet my needs but the LED control is not working properly so I've contacted the supplier and am waiting for a response.
