As more people and companies recognize the benefits of doing
NTD inspections on engines, plumbing, HVAC systems etc. more
and more companies are coming out with inexpensive
borescopes to meet the growing demand. Many first time
buyers and small private companies don't want to spend too
much on equipment in these new areas, especially before
knowing the full cost benefit ratio they will get from the
equipment. Economy level videoscopes provide the basic
features of more expensive videoscopes, at a price that
makes trying this type of equipment out a reasonable option
for many small business and individuals.
Entry level videoscopes tend to provide the basics with a
probe with built in LED’s and a camera chip, attached to a
portable base, which shows the live feed, and may record
video, and or still images for future reference. The
differences in quality between entry level scopes is quite
broad, as some are made just to appeal to someone looking
for a "deal" as opposed to getting the best value for their
money.
Fiberscope.net offers the Voyager Videoscope as their entry
level camera system. This videoscopes is made to appeal to
someone who wants the benefits of NTD inspection without the
cost of a heavy duty industrial unit. Fiberscope.net
specializes in videoscopes, and applies the concepts from
their higher end scopes to ensure that even the economy
scopes provide clear images, ease of use and value for the
price. The Voyager features three lengths (1,2,3m) and two
diameters (5.5, 9.5mm) to meet differing inspection needs.
The CMOS camera chip along with 4 LED lights that are built
into the tip of the water proof probe provide clear bright
images. Live video is shown on a 3.5" TFT LCD monitor with
adjustable positioning for better viewing, and video or
stills can be saved onto an included SD card.
Now compare this to similarly priced scopes by Ridgid that
have comparable lengths of waterproof probe. These scopes
show live video on smaller screens and do not offer any
options to save images or videos for future reference. The
camera heads also do not have as many LEDs to light the
inspection area, and larger diameter camera heads at the
tips of the probe.
Satisfied customers have contacted Fiberscope.net with their
thoughts on Voyager. "[The] screen is large and of good
quality. Screen is large and of good quality. Being able to
adjust its angle makes working on cars much easier than say
a fixed screen/snake angle (another major reason I bought
it). Considering I've gotten my value's worth out of it
already as an amateur mechanic I would certainly purchase it
again. It's a tool that once you have it you'll find things
to use it on."
Both these entry level scopes offer the basics for NTD
inspections, but only one offers smaller diameters of camera
heads, the ability to record video and still images during
inspections, as well as a higher quality camera. If a
businesses or individual is looking into investing in a
video borescope it only makes sense to invest in the
videoscope that supplies the options that will offer the
best value and usefulness to the customer. The Voyageur
Video Borescope is the clear winner in this comparison, and
as both scopes are offered at similar prices and aimed the
same demographic, it’s not hard to see which one should be
the most popular choice.
