My grad students are wanting explore burrows of mice (Peromyscus) and gophers for a multitude of reasons and they seem to think that the Peep-a-roo video probe is the way to go. It has a 1" diameter terminal camera on the end which should do the job if we can get it in there and maneuver it around. The 1" diameter for the camera lens seems a bit wide for a Peromyscus burrow.

Has anyone used one of these (see link below), or something similar with good, bad, or indifferent results? Any comments would be extremely welcome as these are not cheap (~$6k).
