Hawkeye borescope video adapter

[Boe]

I have been using a hawkeye borescope for about 11 years now in my shop to inspect rifle barrels. Does anyone else make cameras for the hawkeye? Called Hawkeye today their setup is 3,500. I just want to use a video monitor to look at the bore instead of the eyepiece, Or would I be better off getting another borescope set up for this? Any recommendations?
Thanks Boe

i got a univerisal adapter to that mounts between my digital camera and my spotting scopre from this company. See if this will work for your borescope. tim

If nothing specific to your Hawkeye borescope is posted, do a search of "videoscoping", an entire subject field is devoted to the topic of picture/videoing thru stand alone scopes...........universal adapters can be found in many of these references;

Outside of a barrel maker ever wanting something like this, I just got to wonder who would buy something like this in the first place. Goodness, but think of the machinery you could buy with the money. I like my Hawkeye scope, but I just don't see the money being worth it?

Hey I know that some guys have the money for this kind of stuff, and I say more power to you and go for it if the bucks mean nothing to you.

I have no doub't that a camera such as what you can buy as an add on
for you computer could be interfaced with a hawkeye, and you can watch
it on your laptop. Put it on a disc, or email it

I bought one of their systems at shot show a few years ago, the cost was about 1/5 of the cost of the hawkeye... not the same quality but good enough for me.

Here's a screen capture I took on my laptop... I could have focused it a little more but I was in a hurry... works pretty well. I have found that the flashlight source is not adequate for a lot of video work. I did upgrade my light source with an ebay source.
