Extech HDV730 Videoscope Kit
The Extech HDV730 Videoscope Kit is a professional inspection system designed for engineers and maintenance teams who need to examine hard-to-reach areas. It combines the Extech HDV700 High-Performance Videoscope with the HDV7C-A2-39-HD-1 articulating HD camera probe. This allows users to inspect hidden parts and difficult-to-access components without dismantling equipment. The kit is suitable for condition monitoring in manufacturing, HVAC/R, plumbing, building maintenance and automotive applications.
For greater control during inspections, the Extech HDV730 Videoscope Kit features a slim 3.9 mm camera probe with two-way 180° articulation. Its flexible stainless steel mesh construction and 1 m probe length help users navigate confined areas and position the camera for a clearer view. The forward-facing HD camera captures images at 1280 × 720 resolution and provides a 90° field of view. With an IP67 waterproof rating, the camera probe can also be used for inspections where it may come into contact with water.
Inspection results are easy to view and record with the Extech HDV730 Videoscope Kit. The five-inch colour TFT touchscreen features a 500-nit backlight, helping users examine footage during maintenance work. Images and videos can be saved with voice annotations or photo notes, while Session and Tag features help organise inspection records. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of operation, and the included 32 GB microSD card offers storage for inspection files.
