Application

This Oasis Scientific Vividia CX-6010i Borescope helps technicians take well-lit pictures and videos of hard-to-reach places. It is great for viewing engines, cylinders, and other areas with small entry points. It is also able to create viewing angles that wouldn’t normally be possible without joystick articulation.

Selling points

1MP HD camera with IP67 water and dust-resistance for clear, high resolution images in industrial environments.
Four adjustable brightness settings and a broader focus range than competing borescopes make capturing images easier.
Small diameter (6mm for the 6010i, 4mm for the 4010i) probe allows increased accessibility. The 4010i is useful for diesel engines, as the 4mm probe is small enough to inspect inside.
Detacheable device mounting bracket provides near universal compatibility.

Features and benefits

Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and Android, which enables seamless connectivity with devices users already have.
The 360-degree joystick articulation feature allows for quick positioning. While other scopes can be tedious to angle, the CX series saves mechanics time and effort with advanced articulation control.
A trigger-based locking feature permits extended monitoring once the probe is properly positioned. This can free up a hand that would normally be manually controlling articulation.

Origin

This product was created in reaction to the ever-growing needs of the borescope industry. Individually acclaimed features such as a locking mechanism, advanced articulation, and device compatibility all come together to create this product.
