Miniature video probe with Head Mounted Display flexes into tight places

Search and Rescue personnel can use this three-meter, flexible miniature video camera to survey tight,
enclosed areas through openings as narrow as 2.5 inches (6.35 cm). The operator probes the space
while viewing high-resolution images from head mounted video display (HMD).  The near-infrared
sensitive camera contains I.R. LEDs, providing enough light to see more than one meter in total
darkness.   The 8 oz. HMD replaces standard bulky monitors and is comfortable to wear, fitting easily
over eyeglasses.  Entire system of three-meter flexible probe with near-infrared sensitive camera, head
mounted display and waist-mounted 10 hour battery pack weighs less than 12 lbs. and costs $3,950. 
Details can be documented on Sony 8mm VCR Kit for an additional $1,050.  Optional ultra-sensitive
microphone in camera housing alerts Search and Rescue operators to any survivors inside collapsed
buildings, vehicles, tunnels.  For even smaller access requirements a 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) diameter
camera option is available. Combination systems with both probes, one HMD and battery are
available for $5,250.  A 50-foot (15-meter), self-powered tethered robotic, 4" x 5" x 2" in size
provides additional tactical support.  This tractor-tread mobile micro video camera system is $6,750
and is likewise  interchangeable with either of the gooseneck probes, using the same head mounted
display and battery pack. Get all three probes and be equipped to handle virtually any situation for
$8,875.
