​How to Choose Articulating Borescopes?

Articulating Borescopes are essentially endoscopes used in the inspection of internal components. Many auto mechanics keep Articulating Borescopes on hand to check for internal damage or defects in your car engine.

To perform their job correctly, Articulating Borescopes need to be small, flexible, portable and provide high resolution photographs and videos.

Probe Size

The size of the probe on the Articulating Borescopes are important, as it needs to be large enough to facilitate a camera, but narrow enough to fit into a confined space. For example, Diesel engines have very small tubes, and can accommodate only Articulating Borescopes that are 6mm or less in diameter.

Camera Resolution

Camera resolution is another important factor to consider when choosing Articulating Borescopes. The camera on your borescope probe should be high resolution if you wish to see fine details in the images and videos it is capturing.

Screen

A good Articulating Borescope will feature an LCD screen that allows you to view images and videos through the camera in real-time. You should ensure that the LCD screen on your choice of Articulating Borescope is large enough to meet your needs, without sacrificing the device’s portability.

Battery Life

Battery life is also incredibly important for Articulating Borescopes. Recharging the battery on these devices can take a while, so it’s best to go for a model with a long battery life.
