Key Features
-
Four-Way Articulation
Aim the tip in four directions across the steering range; the 720° name describes articulation, not continuous tip rotation.
-
Standalone Viewing
Live view, playback and device controls run on the integrated color screen with no phone app.
-
Adjustable Lighting and Zoom
Three LED brightness levels plus off reduce shadows and glare; digital zoom enlarges captured detail for review.
-
Photo, Video and Playback
Record with the handle capture button, then review files with playback and image rotation; files save to a removable TF card.
-
Magnetic Positioning
A magnetic base attaches to a suitable ferrous surface to hold the unit while you guide the probe.
-
Probe Protection
The probe is rated IP67, and the device shuts down above its temperature protection threshold.

Good to Know
Caution
- IP67 applies to the probe only, not the screen or handle; do not assume oil, fuel or solvent compatibility from the rating.
- The heat shutdown is a protection event, not a working-temperature rating; let components cool before inserting the probe.
- If the probe resists withdrawal, stop pulling, return the tip with the control and do not start the engine with the probe inserted.
Care
- Avoid coiled operation and forced bending of the hose.
- Confirm whether a TF card is supplied with your package.
