Some of the most important features companies look for when
investing in a high-quality video borescope are portability
and a reliable, long-lasting power source. RF System Lab, a
world-wide leader in remote visual inspection technology,
introduces the VJ-Advance video borescope; an extremely
portable, high-end inspection camera that runs on standard
AA
batteries.

The VJ-Advance video borescope from RF System Lab is compact
in size and weighs in at only 23oz, making it ergonomic
and extremely lightweight. Lower-quality borescopes are
bulky and, in some cases, require access to an electrical
outlet to operate. The VJ-Advance is easily transported and,
while a direct AC-110 power adapter comes with the VJ-
Advance for non-stop, continuous power, the video
borescope’s main power source is standard AA batteries.

There are numerous benefits to owning an inspection tool
that operates on standard AA batteries. One notable benefit
is
that running on AA batteries means that there is no downtime
waiting for the borescope to recharge. If the VJ-Advance’s
AA batteries die, the user simply needs to take out the old
batteries, replace them with new ones, and the VJ-Advance
is ready for use. This immediate, on-demand power option is
one of the many things that sets RF System Lab apart from
other video borescope providers.

Most video borescopes come with a rechargeable lithium-ion
battery, which means that while the scope’s battery is
charging, there is downtime where it cannot be used for
inspections – something that can be detrimental if there is
an
immediate inspection need. If a charger is lost and needs
to be reordered, technicians may have to wait a week or more
to complete an inspection. With the VJ-Advance articulating
video borescope, you never have to worry about wasting time
while waiting for any part to charge or for replacement
battery accessories to arrive. The VJ-Advance is ready for
use
whenever it is needed.

Large lithium-ion batteries, which are the primary source of
power for many borescopes on the market, are not easily
transported. While AA batteries are legal on airplanes,
lithium-ion batteries must have less than 25 grams of
lithium
content per battery in checked baggage, and are not allowed
in carry-on baggage per the FAA. This makes traveling with
borescopes that require rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
extremely difficult. The lightweight VJ-Advance video
borescope not only comes with a carry case that holds all
accessories, but is easily transported because of the
widely-
accepted AA power source.

Companies interested in seeing firsthand how portable and
user-friendly the AA battery powered VJ-Advance video
borescope is for internal inspections are invited to sign up
