This was not my idea, but I am very happy with the result. I added an endoscopic camera to my load master to help with primer issues. This is under station three, so you can check before charging with powder. The LED for the camera also shines through the primer hole so you can see it in the case too from up above.

Very nice. I take it this must be connected to a laptop, can any other device be used like a phone or tablet.

Also, what options did you select?

Finally, is there a specific video you found about the setup?

On eBay you can get a camera that can connect to any of the above. I don't remember where I found the idea. You can either drill a hole in the aluminium below station three and fish the camera though. Or fish the camera up through the spent primer hatch at the bottom of the cylinder. I opted to drill a hole since I already have tubes for directing falling primers.

I picked one of these up for some other jobs and so far it has worked okay. I loaded up on both my 8.1 laptop and my Win10 desktop, but I'd like to find some software that would actually control the camera. I've got some stuff to capture either stills or video, but I'd like to control a few thins most notably being able to adjust the light level from the LEDs would be nice.
