Steer a 5 mm Camera Through Narrow Engine Openings
The V81 guides a 5 mm probe with two-way steering and shows the live image on its own 4.3-inch screen, no phone or app required. Save photos or video for review, and use the magnetic base to hold the unit during suitable inspections.

Good to Know
Caution
- IP67 applies to the probe only; keep the screen and handle dry, and do not infer oil, fuel or solvent compatibility from the rating.
- The 85°C shutdown is a protection threshold, not a working-temperature rating; inspect only cooled components.
- If the probe resists withdrawal, stop pulling and return the tip with the steering control; do not start the engine with the probe inserted.
Care
- Avoid coiled operation and forced bending of the hose.
- Use the image as visual evidence; supporting tests may still be needed before a repair decision.
