The IT Concepts VIDEOSCOPE-XT is a compact, battery-powered video borescope purpose-built for inspection work in hazardous and hard-to-reach environments.
Designed to operate safely in volatile settings, the VIDEOSCOPE-XT features a fully explosion-proof housing that contains internal ignition and prevents sparks from reaching the surrounding atmosphere.
With certifications like UL Class I Division 2 and ATEX conformity, it meets the strictest safety standards required for use in dangerous industrial zones.
Despite its rugged build, the system remains highly portable and intuitive to operate in the field. It delivers sharp visuals and flexible maneuverability to help inspectors confidently assess confined spaces without disassembly or downtime.

When inspections can’t wait and the environment leaves no margin for error, the VIDEOSCOPE-XT delivers. Built for hazardous and explosive conditions, this certified explosion-proof borescope gives you the visibility and precision needed to inspect critical assets without compromise.
From fuel tanks to turbines, it brings clarity to confined, high-risk spaces—no disassembly, no downtime, no guesswork.
The VIDEOSCOPE-XT is not just built for hazardous zones, it is approved for them. Designed to contain internal ignition and eliminate spark risk, its explosion-proof construction complies with the most demanding global safety standards.
With certifications including UL Class I Division 2, ATEX, and MIL-STD-810G, this system is cleared for use in areas where flammable gases or materials are present. It is trusted in environments where failure is not just costly but dangerous.
The VIDEOSCOPE-XT is built for real-world conditions where downtime is not an option. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to transport and deploy, even in challenging environments.
A high-resolution 5-inch display with digital zoom provides a clear view of inspection areas, while intuitive controls allow for single-handed operation. With a six-hour rechargeable battery, large internal storage capacity, and a rugged, protective carrying case, this system is ready to perform wherever and whenever inspections are needed.
Navigating complex machinery requires more than just reach. It demands control. The VIDEOSCOPE-XT offers four-way tip articulation with 360-degree rotation, giving inspectors the ability to steer the camera with precision inside tight, high-risk environments.
Whether maneuvering around turbine blades or through narrow tubing, the scope responds with tactile accuracy. With multiple probe diameters and lengths available, along with a tight bend radius, the system is tailored for both deep access and fast, efficient inspections in areas traditional tools simply cannot reach.
In explosive environments, lighting and imaging systems must do more than perform. They have to protect. The VIDEOSCOPE-XT uses cold fiber optic illumination powered by an LED in the handle, ensuring zero heat or spark risk at the probe tip.
This design maintains the system’s explosion-proof integrity while delivering adjustable, focused lighting where it matters most. Paired with a high-resolution CMOS camera and advanced Chip in the Tip optics, the VIDEOSCOPE-XT captures sharp, detailed visuals even in the tightest and darkest inspection zones, helping teams identify issues before they escalate.
Not every inspection is the same, and the VIDEOSCOPE-XT is built to adapt. With multiple probe diameters including 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm, and lengths reaching up to 10 meters, this system is ready for everything from tight aviation components to large industrial vessels.
The right fit ensures better access, safer operation, and more accurate results. Reach out to MFE Inspection Solutions to learn what configurations are currently in stock and get expert recommendations for your inspection environment.
