Introducing the New 3.9mm VJ-Advance Video Borescope
The VJ-Advance delivers all the features you would expect in a high-end video borescope at a price that makes it accessible to anyone. Now available with an ultra-thin 3.9mm diameter insertion tube, the VJ-ADV is ideally suited to accessing the smallest areas you need to inspect. No other company offers a smaller OD scope with full 4-way articulation.
If you need to inspect small aviation turbine engines, such as the Pratt and Whitney PT-6, you owe it to yourself to demo the new 3.9mm VJ-ADV.

Borescope Features
Joystick Articulation Control
The VJ-ADV provides precise control of the articulating tip through the use of a thumb-activated joystick. This joystick responds to the slightest movement of your thumb and allows full movement of the camera tip in all directions.
Combined with a trigger-activated image capture button and thumb-activated video recording button, the joystick allows easy one handed control of all key functions.
High Navigation Ability
The rigid end of the bending section is only 15mm long. This short rigid section aids in navigating the insertion tube through curved or complicated structures.
Enhanced Features
The VJ-ADV incorporates several new features, including:
•Stainless steel-braided insertion tube.
•The ability to record audio annotation along with video through the use of a mini-microphone.
Perfect for Aviation
If you need to inspect Pratt and Whitney PT-6 engines, or any other small aircraft engine, the new 3.9mm VJ-ADV will fit easily through your smallest guide tube. Now you can have a 4-way, joystick-controlled, articulating video borescope, in an easy-to-use, compact and affordable package.
Stand-Alone Imaging Unit
The VJ-ADV is an all-in-one system that combines an 4mm articulating video borescope with an on-board imaging system. As you conduct an inspection still images can be captured with the click of your index finger and a button next to the joystick allows you to control video recording.
The control panel allows you to review stored images and video on the built-in 3.5" LCD display. As an option, you can view or record images and video on a laptop via the USB port or plug-in a conventional monitor.
Battery Powered Operation
The 3.9mm iscompletely portable and weighs only 23 ounces, including the required four AA batteries. Run time is typically 1.5 hours before the batteries need to be replaced. Off the shelf disposable batteries are used, reducing the amount of down time waiting for a recharging cycle.
Adjustable Brightness
The LEDs that illuminate the camera tip can be easily adjusted to one of four different brightness levels, or they can be turned off. This feature prevents light washout and helps to always provide a clear image.

This was a great addition to our tool cage. We had it in use ten minutes after arrival and it's been busy ever since. Thanks, Sean!
