[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 2845027, member: 8833"] I have the flexible Teslong that I hook to a personal lap top. I would not change anything and after using for years I bought one for my adult son for X- mas. A friend of mine has the rod type that hooks into the Teslong iPhone size screen and I have used it multiple times. Pros for the flexible with your own iPad: Easy storage in about a 8” square, 1” thick case. I keep mine in one of my safes top shelf. Allows to be transported in shooting bag to take to range or prairie dog shoot very easily. The iPad has a much larger screen that you can magnify, take before and after photos and store in your photo library very easily. Cons: It may take a few more seconds to hold still on a troublesome area you are looking at. I have learned to overcome this dilemma. Solid shaft with Teslong screen: Pros: Very easy to maneuver and adjust Cons: Need much more room on the end of your barrel to insert. My friend has a cabinet on end of his reloading bench so he has to turn his rifle around in his vice and maneuver with his left hand. This is not natural for me. His Teslong screen is too small IMO for detail inspection and does not have near the brightness adjustment of an iPad. You must store the inspection rod in case that compares to a cleaning rod. I agree with the above posters in that a lot depends on how and where you will use it. There really isn’t a wrong answer in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
