Oh, I got it. These things are dangerous because they can break off in the shower. My neighbor cut this one into pieces to see how much of everything was in the drain. Take a small Phillips screwdriver. Remove this cover. Do yourself a favor, turn off the drain. I was really hoping there was a lever here that could be pulled, but nothing . This is an endoscope camera for my iPhone. It can be adapted to any phone. It simply plugs into the charging port. It will easily go straight into the drain pipe. And here he stands, right in the siphon. We have one of those flexible claw grippers. Oh. I thought I would get it the first time. It just doesn't want to cling. And then my neighbor Tom took his cable, his head is a little smaller. Oh, wait, I caught him. Yes, I'm holding it. Good. Oh, there he is. Oh, the little grabber saved the day.
