Borescope with video monitor

Member
I have been using a Hawkeye borescope for about 15 years. I am looking for a borescope that I can use with a video monitor. One that I am able to show the customer the bore without them having to handle the scope. I am not really intrested in the one that Hawkeye makes. Anyone using something that would fit this application?

Boe...the medical field uses orthroscopes,laproscopes etc...and they usually have an attachment to view using a monitor...you can look on Ebay for "rigid scopes" and see a lot of variations...and maybe find some used units that have been taken out of a surgical environment and being sold used by dealers...



good luck..

Its all going to depend on how much you want to spend. We use them in the marine industry on a regular basis for inspection and diagnosis. GE makes some excellent products and that is what we use. Here is the rub, the higher the resolution, and the smaller the probe diameter, the higher the price. I have a feeling if you as you go smaller than 4mm of probe diameter, the price is going to skyrocket.

Tried to mess around with a CCD / USB cam to fit to the eye piece. Always have problem since they are mostly wide-angle and you can't see details.
You may want to try this.
