The Hawkeye® Classic Flexible is a basic non-articulating scope. The Hawkeye® Pro Flexible adds 2-way articulation. The Hawkeye® Blue Flexibles add additional diameters, wider filed-of-view and 4-way articulation in the 8mm model. All come in a rugged, lockable aluminum case.

Hawkeye® Flexible Borescope Application
Choose the right flexible borescope for your application from the product groups below.
Hawkeye® Classic Flexible |
|
T The plastic coated metal "gooseneck" sheath can take a "set" before insertion into a cavity. The Hawkeye® Flexible is simpler, brighter, and less expensive than articulated fiberscopes. Typical applications include home inspection, engine service and inspecting complex castings. |
Hawkeye® Pro Flexible |
|
T Unlike the Hawkeye® Classic Flexible, the Hawkeye® Pro Flexible Borescope incorporates 2-way articulation! You control the direction-of-view of the tip over a 240˚ range (+/- 120˚), in a single plane, using a thumb-lever on the aluminum borescope body. Lock the lever to hold a particular view. The Pro Flexible sets a new standard of excellence in quality and functionality, at a very reasonable price. |

he Hawkeye® Flexible Borescope's glass-fiber imaging bundle contains 18,000 fibers, delivering a high resolution image. Acid leaching of the bundle increases image contrast by creating space around each fiber to prevent light spilling over from one fiber to the next. The image bundle delivers 2 to 3 times as many image pixels as other low cost flexible borescopes resulting in clearer, sharper images.
he Hawkeye® Pro Flexible uses the same 18,000 fiber acid-leached imaging budles as the Hawkeye® Classic, and provides the same excellent resolution, sharpness, image detail, and contrast.
4-Way articulating borescopes are key for specialized applications such as inspection of casting, bent tubes, turbine blades, engine blocks and turbochargers. These scopes serve specialized users in transportation equipment industries including automotive and diesel engine maintenance and manufacturing.
Hawkeye® MicroFlex Borescopes have 10,000 fiber bundle for very good image quality in such a small diameter package. Swap the eyepiece with the supplied video adapter to use on a C-Mount camera. The flexible 39" working length scope uses a plastic sheath to make it more slippery in narrow twisting paths. These scopes serve specialized users in the aviation, fuel system, medical products manufacturing industries and inspectors of electrical flip-chip assemblies.
