But per the above threads a waterproof USB endoscope well under £20 - and for checking a folding prop when spinning I would prefer to be out of the water

Ok, as mentioned earlier in this thread, I purchased an endoscope camera from banggood as per the link below which was about £12 delivered. I think mine has 7 mtrs of cable, little LED lights built in to the end which are adjustable for brightness. I attached it with some insulating tape to the end of the 3 mtr long brush and plugged the USB end into my laptop. I could then capture video (I did 3 lots of about 5 mins each) or stills.
The water visibility was pretty poor (I'm at the top of a river so pretty muddy) but with the camera close up I was able to take very clear close up video of the underside of my boat. Right down to the bottom of my 2.1 mtr keel.
The only big problem was keeping the pole steady enough in one place to inspect properly. (The tide was running a bit so a couple of knots of flow moved the pole and stirred up the mud)
That being said I took enough video to clealy inspect what I wanted to specifically inspect and the camera has allowed me to know that all is good.
So for just a few quid I am very pleased with the purchase.
Thought this might be useful feedback for others thinking of trying something similar.
Usual no connection blah blah ......
