FLIR VS290 Videoscope Kits with Speciality Probe Options
The FLIR VS290 is an industrial thermal and visual videoscope system designed to help professionals quickly and safely find hidden faults and dangers in difficult-to-access locations.
Featuring a 160 × 120 (19,200) pixel true thermal imager and FLIR MSX, the VS290 gives users the power to see and measure invisible hot spots before catastrophic equipment failures can occur.
The small, sleek tips allow for easy inspection through tight or confined openings, improving productivity and reducing diagnostic time. The 2-meter side-viewing probe options are CAT IV 600V safety rated—perfect for underground electrical vault inspections. The 1-meter forward-viewing probe is a practical fit for general purpose equipment and building thermal scans. All are versatile tools for the most demanding environments in utility, manufacturing, and building maintenance applications.
FLIR VS290 Probe Options
The three probe options are easily interchangeable and field replaceable:
- VS290-21 – 1-meter probe with 19 mm rounded, forward-viewing tip; thermal camera
- VS290-32 – 2-meter probe with 11 mm rectangular, side-viewing tip; thermal + visual camera + worklight
- VS290-33 – 2-meter probe with 19 mm rounded, side-viewing tip; thermal + visual camera + worklight
