I haven't had a huge amount of success with those endoscopes. They are fixed focus and the one I had only gave about 15 FPS. The Supereyes microscopes like this <http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Supereyes-200x-Portable-Digital-USB-Microscope-Enodscope-Video-Camera-LED-TE01-/190884342766> work quite well with a fairly consistent 30FPS frame rate. You can also zoom in quite close so you can get pretty decent accuracy. As with most USB cameras the frame rate can drop if the illumination is poor. None of these cameras have brilliant lenses so you do have to accept a bit of distortion. Distortion is generally lowest in the centre of the field of view.
I was using them in an automated edge following application for reverse engineering wooden templates. Stick the template on the machine, jog to the edge and hit go. The machine then follows around the edge and spits out a dxf file when done. Les >> So I just bought an "endoscope" camera off ebay for $22.
