inspection camera - does it keep it's shape when you bend

Hi
Am thinking of hacking together an inspection camera using raspberry pi and an 3inch monitor perhaps. The inspection camera do they have a bendable and keep it's shape arm or is it just a normal cable?
So a bit like those cheap bendable arm lamps. If not I might just buy cheap camera off ebay then plug into a pi.

would assume they all have a wire spiral otherwise it would only go where gravity takes it and would have to be called a camera

yeah ok. I think I might use abit of T &E 2.5mm cable as a cable spiral. Ebay is a dodgy place sometimes what they say in the title isn't necessarily what it says in the description. I always take what they say with a pinch of salt. Not everyone is as simple and honest as me
