Draper Expert Rechargeable Pistol Grip Borescope

See clearly into the places no eye can reach with the Draper Expert BSPG100 Rechargeable Pistol Grip Borescope. Purpose-built for professional inspection work across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, and building trades, the BSPG100 combines a waterproof IP67-rated camera, a flexible semi-rigid inspection cable, and a detachable screen with full image and video recording capability — delivering a versatile, self-contained inspection solution that is equally at home in a workshop, on a building site, or down a drain.

The 5.5mm camera head sits at the end of a 1m flexible, semi-rigid cable that bends and holds its shape to navigate tight bends, confined spaces, and awkward internal passages that rigid cameras simply cannot access. Six super-bright LEDs surround the camera lens, with adjustable brightness control to illuminate even the darkest cavities, voids, and pipework without overexposing the image. The result is clear, usable footage regardless of the working environment.

With an IP67 waterproof rating, the BSPG100's camera probe can be fully submerged in water, making it equally effective for inspecting flooded pipework, drainage systems, sewage infrastructure, and submerged mechanical components as it is for dry inspection of engine bays, wall cavities, ductwork, and machinery. This level of protection sets it apart from basic inspection cameras that are limited to dry environments.

Images and video are recorded directly to the included 8GB micro SD card, with playback available on the detachable screen — allowing you to review footage on site, share findings with clients, or keep a record of inspection results. The rechargeable 3.7V lithium-ion battery eliminates the need for disposable batteries and ensures the BSPG100 is always ready when you need it. A mirror attachment is included for lateral viewing, and the whole kit is stored in a padded plastic carry case for protection and portability between jobs.

H2: IP67 Waterproof — Built for the Toughest Inspection Environments

The IP67 rating on the BSPG100's camera probe means it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand submersion in water up to one metre deep — opening up a range of inspection applications that are simply beyond the reach of non-waterproof cameras. Blocked or suspected damaged drains, flooded inspection chambers, submerged pipework joints, and water-filled cavities can all be inspected safely and clearly, without risk of damaging the camera. For plumbers, drainage engineers, and heating engineers who regularly work in wet environments, this level of protection is not a luxury — it is a necessity.

H2: Flexible Cable That Goes Where Rigid Cameras Cannot

The 1m semi-rigid cable is one of the most practically important features of the BSPG100. Unlike fully rigid endoscopes that require a straight line of access, the semi-rigid cable bends to navigate internal corners, curved pipework, and irregular cavities — and holds its position once shaped, giving you stable, controllable camera placement rather than a constantly moving image. At 5.5mm in diameter, the probe is slim enough to pass through small apertures, inspection ports, and narrow pipe diameters encountered across domestic and commercial plumbing, heating, and mechanical applications.

H2: Record, Review, and Report On Site

The ability to capture images and record video directly to the SD card transforms the BSPG100 from a viewing tool into a documentation and reporting instrument. Plumbers can photograph pipe damage for insurance purposes. Building surveyors can record cavity wall conditions as evidence for clients. Mechanics can capture footage of internal engine or gearbox faults before stripping. The detachable screen allows footage to be reviewed on the spot — on the job, in front of the client — without needing to transfer files to a laptop or phone first.

H2: Who Is the Draper Expert BSPG100 For?

The BSPG100 is designed for professionals across a broad range of trades who regularly need to inspect areas that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Plumbers and drainage engineers will value the IP67 waterproofing for pipe and drain surveys. Heating engineers can inspect boiler flues, heat exchangers, and duct systems. Mechanics and automotive technicians can examine engine internals, cylinder conditions, and chassis cavities without disassembly. Electricians and building contractors can inspect wall cavities, roof voids, and cable runs. The self-contained rechargeable design and padded carry case make it practical for daily use across multiple job sites.

FAQ Section:

What does IP67 rated mean on the BSPG100 borescope? IP67 is an international ingress protection rating indicating the camera probe is completely dust-tight and can be submerged in water up to one metre deep for up to 30 minutes without damage. This makes the BSPG100 suitable for inspecting flooded pipes, drainage systems, and other wet environments.

How long is the inspection cable on the BSPG100? The BSPG100 is fitted with a 1m flexible semi-rigid inspection cable with a 5.5mm camera head diameter. The semi-rigid construction allows the cable to be shaped and positioned to navigate bends and confined spaces while holding its position for stable viewing.

How does the BSPG100 record images and video? The BSPG100 records images and video directly to the included 8GB micro SD card. Footage can be played back on the detachable screen on site, or the SD card can be removed and files transferred to a computer for reporting and archiving.

How is the BSPG100 charged? The BSPG100 is powered by an integrated rechargeable 3.7V lithium-ion battery, charged via the included USB charging lead. This eliminates the ongoing cost and inconvenience of disposable batteries.

What is the mirror attachment used for? The included mirror attachment clips to the camera head and deflects the camera's field of view by 90 degrees, allowing lateral inspection of pipe walls, internal surfaces, and areas that cannot be viewed directly end-on with the standard forward-facing camera orientation.

What trades is the BSPG100 suitable for? The BSPG100 is designed for use across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, and building trades. It is equally effective for automotive inspection, drain and pipe surveys, cavity wall inspection, ductwork assessment, and machinery examination.

What is included with the Draper Expert BSPG100? The BSPG100 is supplied with the pistol grip unit and detachable screen, 5.5mm × 1m inspection cable, mirror attachment, 8GB micro SD card, USB charging lead, and a padded plastic storage case.
