I've used them on large aircraft engines, but it takes a while to learn 
how to interpret the image. seen that close things do look quite different.

There are many uses for a bore scope including tower legs.  It's amazing 
the crap that accumulates in those legs.

A long one, but not long enough to be unwieldy with its own lights can 
check, pipes, drains and other reasonably sized tubes.  I doubt it'd be 
much good for a culvert.
