Rochester, New York – Users of Hawkeye V2 video borescopes now have the ability to add notations to the still images and video footage they capture. Using the V2’s new annotation feature, inspection images can now document not only the date of an inspection, but the inspector’s notes as well.
“This function will be key to those who are conducting mission-critical inspections, like aircraft maintenance, wind turbine and power-gen maintenance, and any transportation-related inspection” said Dr. Douglas Kindred, president and chief scientist of Gradient Lens Corp., the company that manufactures and sells Hawkeye borescopes.
V2 video borescopes are now also shipping with a new LED Light Source that, in the 4mm diameter V2, is 1.45X brighter than its predecessor. The 6mm V2 now delivers light to the subject that is 2.1X brighter than before.
“One and a half to two times more light makes a huge difference to users,” said Dr. Kindred. “Furthermore, the intensity of the new V2 LED Light can be adjusted more much finely than the previous model, giving users more flexibility inside either small, or large, inspection areas.”
Fully portable Hawkeye V2 video borescopes are rugged utilizing flexible, durable, tungsten sheaths. Hawkeye V2 video borescopes are available in diameters of 4mm and 6 mm, offer 4-way articulation, and are made in the USA. Optional adaptors for close-focus and 90º prism are available.
