Locating fluid leaks without a direct line of sight.

Records and plays back still images and video clips;

3.5-inch display that offers large viewing screen;

Quick-change connector that enables use of optional-length specialized purpose imagers;

Removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack;

Ability to operate the unit while charging the battery;
