GTW106 Pipe Inspection Periscope | Carbon Fiber | 30x Zoom | 4MP | 1.25–6m

GTW106 pipe inspection periscope: the HD telescopic carbon fiber pole with 30x optical zoom for inspecting manholes, pipes and containers with diameters of DN150–3000mm, without lowering personnel into the space. With a pole that extends from 1.25m to 6m and weighs just 1 kg, a 4MP camera with 2560×1600 resolution, an integrated measurement laser and 200,000 LUX lighting, this pipe inspection periscope delivers clear Ultra HD images and direct dimensional data from ground level, while the operator remains safely at the surface.

Compared with fixed-pole systems, this telescopic carbon fiber pipe inspection periscope (1.25m collapsed, 6m extended) is transported in a compact bag, deploys in seconds and reaches variable depths without changing the pole or fitting additional extensions. The 11 inch tablet with wireless transmission, 128GB storage and 8 hours of battery life completes a fully autonomous inspection system independent of the power grid, operating between -20°C and +60°C. Key Advantages of the GTW106 Pipe Inspection Periscope

• 30x optical + 16x digital zoom, the most powerful zoom in the Jiutai lineup: The GTW106 surpasses every other system in the lineup for zoom power: 30x optical versus the 10x of the GT75BXA and versus the 10x zoom of the crawlers. Tank basins, the floor of deep manholes and fine detail defects on the walls of 3000mm pipes become visible and documentable without lowering the camera below the level of the access opening.

• Telescopic carbon fiber pole, 1.25m → 6m, 1 kg: The carbon fiber material makes the pole of this pipe inspection periscope three times lighter than an equivalent steel or aluminum pole, while maintaining the rigidity needed for stable control of the PTZ head at the maximum extension of 6m. The 1 kg weight allows one-handed handling throughout the entire inspection session.

• Integrated measurement laser for distance and sizing: The integrated laser range-finder function directly measures the distance to a defect and its dimensions on the 4MP image displayed on the tablet, without external measuring instruments and without a second descent of the periscope to verify the size of a defect identified in the first session.

• 200,000 LUX lighting with 2 sets of lamps (high beam + low beam): The dual lighting system with 2 sets of powerful lamps and 2 sets of fill lamps delivers 200,000 LUX with uniform distribution across the entire viewed surface. Intelligent intensity adjustment automatically adapts the lighting to the size of the space and the type of internal surface.

• One-click defogging, clear image in manholes with vapors: Sewer manholes with warm wastewater generate condensation on the lens upon contact with the cold outside air. The one-click defogging function restores image clarity without retracting the periscope and without interrupting the inspection session.

• 11 inch touch screen tablet, 4MP / 2560×1600, 128GB / 8h wireless: The 11 inch wireless tablet displays the Ultra HD image at native 2560×1600 resolution on the IPS screen. With 128GB of internal storage and 8 hours of battery life, a full day of inspection is completed without intermediate data transfer and without recharging.

• Temperature range -20°C → +60°C, usable in any season: The extended temperature specification allows this pipe inspection periscope to be used in winter (below -20°C in the zone of extreme temperatures) and in summer (above 40°C in manholes exposed to direct sunlight), without limiting the inspection season.

• Electric 110° tilt with one-click reset: The camera head tilts electrically 110° to adjust the viewing angle without repositioning the pole. The one-click reset function returns the head to the standard axial position with a single button, essential for quickly resuming inspection after documenting a defect at an angle.

Technical Specifications: GTW106 Pipe Inspection Periscope

Applications: Where the GTW106 Pipe Inspection Periscope Is Used

A pipe inspection periscope from the GTW106 series is the tool of choice for municipal survey teams that carry out rapid network surveys, assessing the condition of manholes, the sedimentation level, infiltration and the condition of lateral connections without fully opening the cover or lowering personnel. The 1.25→6m telescopic pole covers all standard depths of urban sewer manholes, with the 30x zoom delivering a detailed image of the floor and lateral connections from the level of the access opening.

Construction companies and contractors accepting new sewer and water supply networks use this pipe inspection periscope for final handover inspections, verifying the internal condition of newly built manholes, the quality of the foundation and the connections, with 4MP video documentation and photos with laser sizing included in the acceptance file. Explore the full range of Uzinex industrial equipment for complete inspection solutions for pipe networks and manholes.

Municipalities, water and sewer network operators and underground infrastructure maintenance firms use systems such as the GTW106 pipe inspection periscope for routine inspections of DN150–3000mm manholes without deploying confined space entry teams, reducing the cost per inspection and eliminating accident risks, in accordance with international standards for video inspection of pipes and confined spaces. GTW106 versus GT75BXA: Periscope vs. Pole Camera

Both systems inspect manholes and confined spaces from the surface, without personnel entry. The concrete differences define the distinct use segments of the two systems:

• 30x optical zoom (GTW106) versus 10x (GT75BXA): the GTW106 documents details at 3x greater distance

• Telescopic 1kg carbon fiber pole (GTW106) versus a fixed pole (GT75BXA): the GTW106 extends continuously 1.25→6m; the GT75BXA requires a fixed length

• 4MP / 2560×1600 (GTW106) versus Full HD (GT75BXA): Ultra HD resolution versus standard Full HD

• Integrated laser as standard (GTW106) versus a function unavailable on the GT75BXA

• One-click defogging (GTW106) versus a function unavailable on the GT75BXA

• DN3000mm maximum (GTW106) versus 6000mm (GT75BXA): the GT75BXA covers larger spaces in diameter

Frequently Asked Questions about the GTW106 Pipe Inspection Periscope

What is an inspection periscope and how does it differ from a crawler or push rod?

A pipe inspection periscope is a telescopic pole with a PTZ camera at the end, inserted from above into the manhole or pipe and rotated from the surface, without advancing into the pipe like a crawler and without pushing a cable like a push rod. The periscope provides the complete panoramic view of a wide space (DN150–3000mm) from any angle, while the crawler follows the axis of a long pipe section. The GTW106 is the solution for rapidly assessing the condition of a manhole, not for inspecting a pipe section. How deep can the GTW106 pole descend?

The telescopic carbon fiber pole extends from 1.25m (collapsed) to 6m (maximum extension), enabling inspection of manholes up to 6m deep from the level of the access opening. The 6m depth covers all standard manholes in municipal sewer and water supply networks, including the main junction manholes 4–5m deep typical in older networks. What distances and dimensions can the measurement laser measure?

The laser range-finder integrated into this pipe inspection periscope measures the distance to the viewed surface and the dimensions of objects/defects on the 4MP image displayed on the tablet. The distance data is useful for assessing the sedimentation level, the depth of residual water in the manhole and for sizing cracks and infiltration without lowering additional measuring equipment. What advantage does the carbon fiber pole bring over steel or aluminum?

Carbon fiber offers the best stiffness-to-weight ratio among the materials used for inspection poles. At 1 kg total, the GTW106 is 3–5 times lighter than an equivalent stainless steel or aluminum pole at the same 6m length. The rigidity of the carbon fibers keeps the camera head stable and precisely oriented at maximum extension, without vibration or lateral deflection that would degrade the quality of the 30x zoom image. Can the GTW106 be used in winter at temperatures below 0°C?

Yes. The operating temperature range of -20°C → +60°C of this pipe inspection periscope allows use in the cold season without limitations. At -20°C, the electronics, the battery and the optical system operate within normal parameters, essential for municipalities and water companies that have a legal obligation to carry out annual network inspections regardless of season.
