Periscope for Video Inspection

The Gastech Pole Video System LED is a video inspection periscope system built around a high-performance color camera mounted on a sturdy aluminum frame, illuminated by 12 Cree high-efficiency LED lights arranged in a ring formation around the lens. The telescopic pole starts at 1.60 meters and extends to 4 meters, with two additional 1.60-meter extension sections available to reach a maximum operational depth beyond 7 meters. The camera delivers high color sensitivity with a large depth of field, transmitting live footage to a rugged Cordura-housed monitor and control unit that includes automatic photo and video storage. The complete system — camera head, pole sections, and monitor unit — is lightweight and ergonomic enough for single-operator use without additional support equipment. Product code: LA.0010.0020.

The orange anodized camera head housing provides robust protection during repeated insertion into sewer channels, drainage pipes, and inspection chambers. The 12 Cree LED ring illumination delivers consistent, even lighting across the field of view at depth without hot spots or shadow areas that would compromise defect identification. The automatic media storage function records footage and captures still images directly on the control unit during the inspection, eliminating post-inspection data transfer steps. The vision system interface is simple and intuitive, allowing operators with standard field training to conduct inspections immediately without extended setup or calibration procedures.

The Gastech Pole Video System LED is deployed by sewer network operators, drainage contractors, and civil infrastructure maintenance teams for video inspection of open drainage channels, sewer pipes, inspection chambers, and drainage culverts — wherever a camera must be lowered from surface level into an underground channel or pipe to assess internal conditions. It is used for defect identification, blockage location, structural assessment, post-cleaning verification, and emergency condition surveys across urban and industrial drainage infrastructure.

Leader Infra supplies this single-operator sewer video inspection periscope for drainage network operators and maintenance contractors — delivering Cree LED-illuminated, deep-reach visual inspection capability in a lightweight field system that requires no confined space entry by the operator.

FAQ — Can the Pole Video System LED be operated by one person without additional support? Yes. The system is specifically designed for single-operator use — the lightweight pole and ergonomic handle allow one technician to maneuver the camera head into the inspection point, view live footage on the shoulder-mounted Cordura monitor unit, and capture photos and video simultaneously without requiring a second operator to manage recording or camera positioning.
