Tools, Sharpening and Power Machinery - A video scope "on the cheap"? Alternatives?

Whenever it rains hard, a small portion of one corner of my basement gets a lot of water through the foundation wall. I find this particularly odd because, if you examine the ground outside the part of the foundation where the water is leaking through, you'd be standing on a fairly large slab of concrete that makes up my patio.

My only guess as to where the water would be coming from is via a gutter drain that comes off the corner of my house directly above the problematic corner. The aluminum gutter connects to a PVC pipe which goes under the concrete slab and opens up on the other side of the slab, about 15 feet away. I strongly suspect that a section of the pipe under the concrete slab has been damaged and is thereby letting the water get into the ground and then into my basement.

I need a way to look into this pipe. Removing the aluminum gutter isn't a problem. A camera scope long enough to travel the length of the pipe costs upwards of $200, and none of the local equipment rental places near me has one available to rent.

How can I examine the inside of this pipe on the cheap?

Pay a plumber who has one to scope it. He may work a deal for you just for inspection purposes.

How big is the PVC pipe? Any chance you could fit a small camcorder into it? If you can get a rope through to the other side (no easy task in itself - how long is the pipe?), then perhaps you could drag a camcorder and flashlight through the pipe and record what's in there. Possible damage to your camcorder (assuming it fits) plus the bother of getting a rope through the pipe and suddenly $200 for a professional doesn't sound too bad.
