How is it holding up?

@@kD_5555_interested in hearing an answer

It comes with 2 skids. I never run the big skid but run the small one pretty much every time I use it. It’s ok with offsets depending on the offset I guess. I think ridgid is best for offsets cuz the skid sits back from the head and it’s like a triangle shape

I thought I commended back on this but I must not have haha. So the sonde is always on, it works but it’s just not as strong as like a ridgid. With my good locator, after around 7-8’ deep the signal gets spotty but it will still locate. My record with it was like 11-13’ deep with it

This is Mia’s information WhatsApp: +852 66385917 Email: mia@gyteco.com Phone: +86 19137939554

Mine is the bigger one. I’ve never tried the smaller one but I think I should be getting the smaller one from Billy Chong in the next couple days

I’m not sure what you’re asking but my Qyteco camera model is QY6688

Hey there… I use the vloc3-cam. Pretty much all I use for locating is 512hz. I think my locator does like 4 or 5 different frequencies but all I use is 512. I think the only different between the cam and pro models are the pro does more frequencies but don’t quote me on that haha. But if you have a signal generator, I’m guessing it would put out the other frequencies that the -cam model can pick up for line locating. I just do sonde locating so I don’t care about the other stuff haha

Great. Thanks a lot for getting back to me!

Do you think the Vloc3 is the best on the market?

@@matthewtarpill7851 i honestly couldn’t tell you but I know it’s better than any other locators I have haha. Also all the local municipalities to me use these locators so I figured it can’t be horrible.

Vloc3 is a good locator. Make your live easy and dummy proof. I use Radiodetection Rd 8200 wand that is really great but you need a little experience with it. I work as an utilities locator.

I have some questions about the QYteco. Can you easily send the videos through email to others from the usb card? Can you edit the videos easily. Does the battery work well? Does it come off so I can change it out and/or charge it? Sorry for all the questions I want to use this for my home inspection business and I have to be able to send the videos to my customers and edit them as needed. Thank you!

Hey there, it should be able to do it, I don’t sell them. I could get you in touch with someone who does though

Bought the vloc3 cam but not 100% how to use if you can show what all the numbers and arrows mean. Thanks.

@@migdalia358 so I’m not expert and I’ve never read a manual or anything on these cuz I’m a guy haha. But, I’ll tell you how I do it. So as long as you got the camera that has a sonde, you don’t have to do anything. The sonde is always on. To locate it with the vloc3, turn it on, make sure it’s set to 512hz and I turn the gain or whatever it is called on the upper left all the way up and start looking for the signal. If you’re far away the arrows are gonna kinda just go all over the place but as you get closer it’ll find it. As you get a stronger signal I keep turning the signal down to get a more accurate locate. It’s usually dead on for me. I have another video on here with me using the locator

Are you able to easily download and send reports/videos? I’m a home inspector and I want to know if the videos are able to be downloaded through the usb card and then transferred easily to be able to send via email and what not? Thanks for the help in advance?

I truly think the best overall camera is the camera from Billy Chong. It’s affordable and does everything anyone would really need

Hi there, the model Qyteco I have is QY6688. 21mm head, 512hz, self leveling. 6.8mm and 50m push rod, with a 13.3” monitor

How much was your qyteco ? What is the warranty? How long did it take to get it?

Hey there, so I think it was around $1600ish, I don’t totally remember. It’s got a 1 year warranty and I think it took like a week or so to get it

Thanks for the info. Wanted to ask about warranty do you have to ship to china or ? Are they good on warranty?

So far, any issues I’ve had, I’ve contacted them and they figured out what the issue is from asking questions and they sent me replacement parts. Everything on it is easy to change

I got mine from Mia Meng on Facebook. The sale goes through alibaba . com

Well, I will say this. I think I just broke my second push rod on the Qyteco in 3 months. I use/abuse that one more than the others too though.

@@terjavec How does a push rod break, and what happens when it does? No more picture or just can push it effectively? I'm looking to add sewer inspections for a home inspection company, but not eager to spend 7-10k. The website says that the Qyteco has a 6.8mm cable diameter which is larger than the yellow cable types at 5mm. DO you think 6.8mm is stiff enough for a main line sewer scope inspection? Thanks for any info.

@@foresighthomeinspect hey there, yes that push rod is waaaay better than the little yellow ones. I use it primarily in 3-6”. It pushes really nice. So the first time my push rod went bad, the LEDs would shut off randomly. I replaced the push rod and it fixed the problem. I’ve been using it for a couple months and now the image on the screen started to flicker. I pulled the head off and bypassed the pushrod and it didn’t flicker so it pretty much has to be the push rod. It still works but it’s annoying haha

I don’t know what p&g is but what I was told was that spartan gets them from a company called TVBtech. Billy Chong and TVBtech get them from the same place. But yeah spartan has a huge markup on the same camera

6.8mm

I’m sure if you made some sort of an adapter

Since I made this video I’ve gotten a handful of other cameras and Billy Chong makes a new one that is like a mini version of the original, so it has a much smaller head and smaller, more flexible push rod. It seems much better than the ridgid nano

Yup. They are all 512hz

Thanks, but some of these cameras don’t have a “brand”. Most of those Chinese ones are manufactured by some companies but you can’t buy from them. So you have to get them from distributors but they all have different names

It seems sketchy as hell but it’s legit. I’ve got 3 cameras from him. Just pay him through PayPal if you are concerned. He will send you an invoice and tracking. It comes pretty quick, like a week or 2

I have one from EPL Solutions that goes inside of a spring and it threads onto the end of a snake cable. Supposedly it can be picked up down to 33’ deep but I’ve only used it once but I’m sure glad I had it.

Yes, the Qyteco is 512hz and so is just about every sewer camera with a sonde. So any 512hz locator should pick it up. I use the metrotech vloc3-cam locator

Unfortunately I don’t have a vivax camera. I do, however, have like 40 vivax heads. The image quality is clearer on the Qyteco versus the vivax

So I still have my first one I ever bought and it still works. I don’t really use it anymore but for a starter camera it might not be a bad investment. The push rod is pretty small and flimsy though so I don’t think you’d be able to push it through anything bigger than like 4”

What camera was it? Sounds interesting @@terjavec

@@CycloHexanolit was one of those yellow ones, they don’t really have a name brand. Vevor sells one for pretty cheap on eBay. I prefer the Billy Chong cameras but they are like $1600

Those 2 Chinese ones that look similar are the ones I use for pretty much everything. I don’t usually camera anything smaller than 2” and I camera almost every main line. These thing work in almost any drain. They push better in main than the kyrie does. It’s a smaller push rod but it’s stiffer

Overall, I have the least amount of issues with the cameras from Billy Chong.

The ridgid m40 is nice too but it’s also $10k vs $1600

@@terjavec 10 k for a beginner is a lot ,, what do you think a bout the vevor i need one with the sonde just in case or the kyries ?

@@carlossosa2940 I don’t have a vevor, unless you’re talking about those yellow ones. The yellow ones I have don’t push through a mainline like at all. I wouldn’t recommend them at. Your best bet is to contact Billy Chong on Facebook and order a camera from him. $1595 shipped. It’s a great all around camera

@@terjavec yeah i got one the rod is yellow looks like vevor but i dont really know the brand bought off facebook used is good but dont have the sonde version or self leveling and is 65ft i need one 100 or more ft

I get all of mine directly from Billy Chong. The only way I know how to contact him is through facebook though

Thank you@@terjavec

I don’t know if anyone makes a camera that long other than like a crawler camera

At first, because i never ordered from alibaba . com before but everything is legit with her

Thanks

I use the metrotech vloc3-cam locator. Amazing locator

@@terjavec thank you!

I don’t know who or what that is

@@terjavec kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZaaeqqk3cDPiGQ.html the most famous drain cleaner in KZfaq 🤭

There’s a couple ways. The wifi battery boxes that come with the cheap $300 cameras work the best in my opinion. Otherwise, I’ve also done it with a wifi backup camera for a car. All you need is a component input, which the kyrie already has the output put so it works

@@terjavec sorry to bother you. Which one do you have for the back up camera Device

@@davidkolbasky8066 I used this one. It works but not the greatest. I haven’t used it in a while so I don’t know if the app for it is up to date or anything like that www.ebay.com/itm/143935006708?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=YrvbFQ5ESLy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=QHvy_8pnSnO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yeah when I bought mine, I talked to her through Facebook messenger, we figured out everything I wanted, then she’ll send you a link to complete the purchase though alibaba then they’ll ship it out.

Sorry I don’t really know exactly which ones you’re referring to. Are you talking about the 2 similar looking red ones?

I don’t think there’s an actual brand name on them. I’ve seen several different companies sell them

@tony erjavec just bought a cam from Mia. May go through Billy also for a extra cam. Any new news on Mia cams? Any new tips? I'm waiting on my camera in the mail. Would you order any extra supplies for the camera to have on hand? Any place to buy parts for the mia camera? I heard arizona, but never been given a company name

@@ballsie79618 the ones from Mia are pretty specific. No parts from other cameras are interchangeable with her Qyteco. It’s a good camera. My only issue has been the push rod and some of the camera head springs. I’d highly recommend getting some extra springs. They are cheap and easy to replace. I don’t know why I’ve had issues with my push rods. They show no signs of damage but they have internal issues. I love the camera from billy. It’s not as HD as Mia’s but I feel like it’s more durable. I wish the heads between the 2 were interchangeable because the only thing that really goes wrong with Billy’s is a wire in the spring might break but you can’t easily fix that, so you’re better off replacing the whole head with his which is like $400 versus like $40 for a new spring on Mia’s

You been a huge help. I own a plumbing company. Starting a drain cleaning business for my son to have something for himself. I bought him mia cam to start. I used to be on fb alot but had my fill of it. I think I remember seeing u on the sewer and drain page. Do you just order all parts through mia?

@@ballsie79618 I’m sure it was me… I comment a lot hahaha. Yeah everything goes through her

They aren’t that horrible but I wouldn’t buy another one

I found the qyteco on alibaba for 600 bucks

They have lots of different variations. The one I bought has the big screen, 50m 6.8mm cable, self leveling head with a sonde.

@@terjavec you wanna sell it ,,,,? i have a smalll one looks like vevor but is not venor 65 ft i used many times and is good camera but i dont have the sonde version i would like to get me that one but kyries looks bigger than the one i have cable i think is 3/8 and 1/2 inche mine i think is 5/16 or less

@@carlossosa2940 I’m a hoarder, I don’t sell anything hahaha

Mine is the QY6688

I bought mine from Mia Meng on Facebook

Really? Were they the same model or different ones? I’m still using the original one I bought from him years ago. I have the 2 newer versions too but I haven’t used either yet

@@terjavec in Europe we have a different Billy Chung,but the same camera you have. After using them for one year problems started. Sonde wasn't working All the time, on-off button stuck and problems with the camera connection to the screen.

@@freddylageschaar6028 yeah there’s one big company that makes them but they don’t sell them so a bunch of different people sell them. Billy seems the best to deal with to me, but the only issues I’ve had so far are a wire inside the spring will break from from bending too sharp and I’ve had that interconnect cable go bad a couple times too. I’ve never had a sonde issue yet though. Even with some issues, I think it’s the the best bang for your buck

I hope it works for you. If it’s the same as my little yellow one, it works ok up to like 4” pipe. I’m going to be making another big comparison video soon. Since I made this video I bought like 5 more cameras haha

When I purchased mine, we went through alibaba.com It costs a little more because of processing fees though.

@@terjavec thank you for the quick reply and the detailed overview.

@@life_is_adventure glad i could help.

I don’t have any vivax cameras but I do have a bunch of vivax camera heads. At the end of the video I connect a vivax head to a ridgid monitor but it doesn’t show up very well in the video. Vivax does have very nice cameras though

Yeah my sonde on my nano quit working the second time I ever used it. Ridgid won’t fix it under warranty either

I do not unfortunately. I talk with him through Facebook messenger

So the push rod is 50 meters. I just say it’s 150’ but it’s actually more like 165’

@@terjavec ok got it! I also you use an off brand camera system for about 31/2 years now it’s been working great for me & for the price you can’t beat, I like the with the 150’ it looks nice and clear

@@JB-by8zk that Qyteco camera is the clearest picture I’ve ever seen out of any sewer camera I’ve used

@@terjavec Do you have a link to it? Or where can I get one when mine go’s bad?

I got mine through Mia Meng on Facebook

If you’re referring to the red ones that look similar. One is the Qyteco qy6688 and the other one really doesn’t have an actual name or model number because there are several companies that sell the same camera under different names, most popular though, is the Spartan Sentinel

The only way I know how to contact him to purchase cameras is through Facebook. He doesn’t really have a website to order from

Not specifically but I’m pretty sure they sell the same as the yellow one I have

Thanks for the feedback. I basically assumed anyone who found these videos had already been in contact with Billy Chong or Mia Meng and are just looking for some feedback on them haha. But with that being said, the only way I know how to get ahold of them is through Facebook anyway haha
