All tanks should have a "rush" of fluid to the drain outlet; part of this rush creates a venturi effect which helps to remove sewage from your black tank.
Sorry but gotta call you on that one. To get a Venturi acceleration of fluid you need a tapered restriction in the plumbing and these pipes are straight cylinders. It may create a vacuum since there's a sewage vent installed.

Speaking of video camera and plumbers snake; here is a great product that Ridgid tool makes called a see snake mini, we sell them and you can find them most anywhere that sells rigdid tools. The tool has tons of possibilities for RV'ers.

I have a full color borescope like you describe, use it to inspect areas too small for access or between walls, but the last place I'd snake that fiber optic line is up a black tank drain line.
