Endoscope probe Voltcraft BS-5.5 5.5 mm diameter, 1 m length, waterproof, VGA

The Voltcraft BS-5.5 endoscope probe is a compact, flexible inspection camera head with a 5.5 mm diameter and a 1 m cable. It is built for visual inspection in confined or hard-to-reach areas and features waterproof construction plus VGA image output for basic live viewing and documentation when connected to compatible display devices. The slim profile and flexible sheath allow navigation through narrow passages, pipes, and machinery gaps while resisting moisture exposure during routine inspection tasks.

Advantages

The probe's 5.5 mm diameter enables access to tighter spaces than larger inspection cameras, while the 1 m cable length provides a practical reach for many common inspection scenarios. Waterproof design increases reliability during moist or damp inspections and permits use in plumbing and outdoor conditions without immediate risk of moisture damage. VGA output ensures simple compatibility with a range of monitors and recorders that accept analog or VGA-format input for straightforward image viewing.

Suitable for

• Plumbing inspections inside pipes, drains and fittings
• Automotive inspections in engine bays, behind dashboards and inside cylinders
• HVAC system checks in ducts, vents and condensate lines
• General maintenance and diagnostics in industrial equipment and confined mechanical assemblies

Key specifications

• Probe diameter: 5.5 mm
• Cable/length: 1 m flexible cable
• Ingress protection: waterproof construction suitable for damp environments
• Image output: VGA video signal for live viewing
• Camera head: compact inspection camera suitable for narrow access

How to use

Connect the endoscope probe to a compatible display or recording device that accepts VGA input following the device manufacturer's connection instructions. Gently feed the flexible cable and camera head into the inspection area, advancing slowly while observing the live image to avoid damaging the probe or the inspected object. Adjust the insertion angle by manipulating the cable and reposition the display as needed to achieve a clear view. After inspection, wipe the probe clean and allow it to dry before storage.

Recommendations

Use moderate force only when inserting the probe; excessive bending or twisting near the camera head may reduce its lifespan. For inspections in liquids or heavily contaminated environments, clean and dry the probe after each use and verify that the waterproof rating is adequate for the specific conditions. Store the cable coiled without tight bends to preserve flexibility and prevent internal damage.
