I have the rigid one. I have never used the flexible one, but my thinking is the rigid one would be easier to "focus". There is always "play" in the distance between the lense and the barrel surface, varies with caliber, and effects focus. You need to move it around to get your pics. Nothing special and unique to the teslong, just a fact. I felt the flexible one would make it too hard to get the right focus.
The cord is plenty long. I have an old computer running linux under my workbench, and an old monitor sitting at the end with a USB port on the side. I've taken the camera to my local gunshop and used it with my phone too. It comes in a heavy cardboard tube that makes it somewhat portable. I imagine the flexible one would transport more compact, and be less awkward to the guy behind the counter when you whip it out. It certainly does make over-priced shops nervous. When you want to look inside, and pull out a proper camera. Reactions behind the counter vary from clear anger and annoyance - especially if they know their price is inflated, to pleasant curiosity if they are selling something which you are more familiar with than them.
