SISCO's industrial 360° articulating borescope probe features IP67 waterproofing. Its snake cable incorporates heat insulation and chemical corrosion protection, ensuring reliable performance in underwater and humid environments. The unique bidirectional 360° rotation design enables the articulating borescope camera to navigate freely within pipes, providing comprehensive, blind-spot-free observation of every corner.
360° Dual-Direction Rotation & Enhanced Imaging
- This industrial articulating borescope supports 360° dual-direction rotation, enabling zero-blind-spot inspection. The handle is equipped with a damped positioning control wheel, allowing users to adjust camera direction with precision and maintain stable movement during operation.
- In imaging technology, this endoscope has undergone comprehensive upgrades. Both image and video recording resolutions reach 1920×1440, faithfully reproducing every detail and presenting users with a high-definition observation perspective.
- Additionally, the snake cable of the inspection camera is crafted from high-density tungsten braid with a 360° protective articulating structure, offering excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, significantly extending cable lifespan in industrial environments.
Wide Device Compatibility & Durable Waterproof Design
- This 360° articulating borescope is engineered for outstanding compatibility, supporting nearly all mobile devices. With a built-in Type-C connector plus Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Lightning adapters, it ensures seamless connection with 99% of smartphones and tablets.
- For iOS users, the borescope incorporates MFi-certified components, ensuring stable data transmission with no pop-up issues. For Type-C devices, its upgraded direct-connect chip delivers smooth, lag-free image transfer.
- Moreover, the probe of our articulating endoscope achieves an IP67 waterproof rating, and the snake cable is heat-insulated and chemically resistant—ideal for underwater inspection, drains, plumbing, sewage systems, and other harsh environments.
Applications
The industrial endoscope is widely used in automotive inspection, allowing users to check engine cylinders, valves, and oil leaks without disassembly and quickly pinpoint faults. During carbon buildup inspection, it observes valves and pistons through the spark plug hole, preventing unnecessary engine damage. In home appliance repair, the inspection camera helps examine circuit boards and compressors for faults. For pipeline or drain inspection, the pipe endoscope locates blockages or foreign objects, assesses severity, and guides cleaning — improving efficiency and accuracy.

Q1: Is the 360° articulating mechanism of the handheld borescope smooth? Will it get stuck during operation?
A1: Yes, the 360° articulation is exceptionally smooth. The internal steering mechanism is precisely engineered with calibrated gears and transmission components, ensuring seamless motion without any sticking or lag. Whether you are making fine adjustments or rotating the camera quickly, the borescope responds instantly and accurately. This smooth control allows you to direct the camera to the target area effortlessly, improving overall inspection efficiency.
Q2: Does the adapter included with the articulating endoscope ensure stable connectivity with various mobile devices? Will data transmission be interrupted?
A2: Absolutely. This borescope comes with a built-in Type-C connector and includes both Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Lightning adapters, all of which have undergone strict compatibility and reliability testing. For iOS devices, the Lightning adapter uses MFi-certified components, ensuring perfect compatibility with no popup errors and stable, secure data transmission. For Type-C Android devices, the upgraded direct-connection chip minimizes signal interference and prevents data loss or interruption. This ensures smooth, continuous real-time viewing during inspection tasks.
Q3: How durable are the inspection camera and cable in harsh environments? Are they prone to damage?
A3: The articulating borescope camera is designed for durability in demanding conditions. The camera head is rated IP67 waterproof, protecting it from dust ingress and allowing it to operate safely under water or in humid environments. The snake cable is made from high-density tungsten braiding with a 360° protective articulating structure, providing outstanding wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Even with frequent bending, extended use, or exposure to chemicals, the cable maintains its structural integrity, significantly extending the lifespan of the borescope.
Tips: How to obtain a more stable image during inspection?
To achieve a steadier image while using the 360° articulating borescope, consider the following tips:
- Keep your hands steady during operation. Avoid excessive shaking by resting your elbows on a stable surface or using both hands to hold the device.
- Adjust articulation gently and slowly. Sudden or rapid steering movements may cause image vibration. Smooth motion results in clearer visuals.
- Use a stable environment or a supporting tool. If the inspection area has vibration or environmental interference, try operating in a stable setting. You may also use accessories such as a tripod or support stand to fix the borescope in place for more consistent imaging.
