The inspection camera is one of the most valuable tools on any drain cleaner’s truck. Whether you’re checking a line to diagnose a problem before beginning a job or you need to locate a blockage to determine how to clear the line, a high-quality, easy-to-operate inspection camera is a must-have.
A well-known name in the inspection camera industry — Electric Eel — recently introduced the EELvision Elite camera specifically designed for inspecting 3- to 10-inch-diameter lines. According to Mark Speranza, vice president of sales for Electric Eel, the new camera includes most of the reliable features the company’s camera systems have become known for, and adds several new technology upgrades.
“The EELvision Elite was designed in-house with our customers’ needs in mind. The unit is made in the U.S., which our customers told us they preferred,” he says. “We have added unique features such as a Makita battery port to the unit and an additional dual adapter that allows the operator to also power the unit with a Milwaukee or DeWalt battery, giving you three battery options. Also unique is the addition of a continuous running on-screen odometer, which lets you track the footage used on each job. An enlarged 7-inch-diameter monitor is daylight readable. A self-leveling color camera, USB recording and footage counter are all standard features.”
The EELvision Elite features a 1.3-inch-diameter self-leveling color camera with vivid adjustable LED lights. A sunshield for the monitor allows for outdoor viewing and protects the monitor in transport. It comes standard with 200 feet of half-inch-diameter premium push rod, an on-screen footage counter, one-touch recording to USB and screen shot capability, an extended ergonomic handle to facilitate maneuverability and transport, heavy-duty metal frame and wheels, user-friendly control panel, quick start guide tutorial prompts, a QR code for manual and support accessibility, built-in always-on sonde, and dual power sources for AC and battery use.
“Many months of research went into developing the Elite system so that we made sure we have all the features customers are requesting, and a vigorous testing program was implemented to ensure the unit has the required durability to perform in the field,” Speranza says. “Customers who have purchased the Elite and have been using the unit in the field are very happy with the picture quality, ease of use, portability and the three choices for batteries to run the unit.” 800-833-1212; www.electriceel.com
