• Increase productivity and profitability with this camera system that easily shares inspection footage and and can be operated for up to 12 hours on battery power

• Features Gen-Pack Battery Adapter, Wi-Fi and Distance Counter

The new Gen-Eye X-POD Plus sewer camera system from General Pipe Cleaners now includes the Gen-Pack battery adapter, Wi-Fi transmitter, and an on-screen distance counter as standard equipment to boost productivity and profitability.

Depending on battery type and settings, the built-in Gen-Pack battery adapter lets you operate the camera system for up to 12 hours in remote locations with limited access to power. Fuse-protected to safeguard your equipment investment, the Gen-Pack battery adapter is also available separately. Battery and charger are not included.

X-POD Plus makes sharing inspections easy. The built-in Wi-Fi transmitter lets you view and record work on a cellphone or tablet. And using the system’s USB port, you can also archive activity on handy flash drives.

The new on-screen distance counter also shows how far the camera has travelled down a line in feet or meters. And for optimum accuracy, settings can be adjusted for full size or mini-reel configurations.

General’s powerful X-POD Plus Command Module packs other standard features, too, including:

• A big 7-inch LCD color monitor with a sunscreen for easy viewing in any location
• “One-touch” recording for speed and convenience
• 4X digital zoom for close-up inspections
• Voice-over recording for job site commentary
• Date and time stamp for work documentation

The lightweight, popular X-POD systems combine camera, reel and monitor into one compact package. A durable docking arm supports the Command Module and permits height and angle adjustments for the optimal viewing.

The full size X-POD features a self-leveling color camera and 200 feet of Gel-Rod for inspecting 3- to 10-inch drainlines. The compact Mini-Reel carries 100 feet or 200 feet of Gel-Rod with mini color self-leveling camera for troubleshooting 2- and 3-inch lines. The rugged steel frames and reels include a drag brake and reel lock. The full size reels sport 10-inch wheels.
