Outstanding Mobility

With its unique ergonomic design, the IPLEX UltraLite videoscope fits in the palm of your hand. Because it is extremely lightweight, it can be used to perform field inspections with the greatest of ease.

Surprisingly compact and lightweight

The IPLEX UltraLite weighs only 700 g (1.5 lb) with its lithium-ion battery. This easy-to-use videoscope is so small and light that it is the perfect companion for the inspector who works in areas with limited access or in cramped spaces or has to navigate narrow stair cases and steep ladders.

Palm-sized ergonomic design

The ergonomic IPLEX UltraLite fits snugly into the palm of your hand, and provides speedy, fatigue-free operation even during prolonged inspections.

Outstanding Usability

The IPLEX UltraLite offers intuitive manipulations for efficient, accurate inspections.

Icon-based menus for instant recognition and intuitive operations

IPLEX UltraLite menus feature simple, intuitive icons that let you quickly identify and activate the desired functions.

Quick-access hot buttons

IPLEX UltraLite eliminates complicated menu settings. The IPLEX UltraLite functions can be easily operated with just one hand. By pressing dedicated, direct-access keys, you can quickly articulate the scope tip, record images, adjust brightness, and input text.

Quick, precise scope articulation

The IPLEX UltraLite features quick, accurate articulation. The scope tip instantly and accurately responds to the articulation control and approaches targets precisely, enabling fast, efficient inspections.

Versatile optical options for a variety of objects

For optimal direction and magnification covering various types of objects, the IPLEX UltraLite offers a comprehensive range of interchangeable optical tip adapters. In addition, the bright LED mounted on the tip adapters clearly illuminates targets.

Outstanding Quality

With its innovative, compact design, the IPLEX UltraLite offers uncompromising, industry-leading durability and image quality.

Durable chassis withstands drops and falls

The IPLEX UltraLite's durability has been thoroughly proven. It passes our 1.2 m (3.9 ft) drop test, and withstands inspection-site drops and falls. The LCD monitor is equipped with the Gorilla Glass its prominent strength, passing a steel-ball drop test compliant with the international standard, IEC-61010.

Rugged design for reliable operation in harsh environments

Operators are often called on to conduct inspections in difficult environments. The IPLEX UltraLite stands up to rain, sand and dust, and is compliant with IP55.
Ideal for outdoor inspections, the IPLEX UltraLite faithfully produces brilliant images, even in sunlight.

Insertion tube resists crushing and abrasion

The IPLEX UltraLite's insertion tube is both crush and abrasion-resistant. It is also designed with unique Olympus Tapered Flex™ technology for outstanding scope maneuverability. With its durability and graduated flexibility, the IPLEX UltraLite insertion tube enables you to inspect objects inside winding and rough paths.

A bright LED illumination at the scope tip eliminates the need for fiber optic bundles.
A high-density outer braid provides maximum wear resistance and durability.
The Tapered Flex™ tube features gradient flexibility for easy scope maneuverability and navigation.
A crush-resistant steel coil layer makes the insertion tube more durable.

Insertion tube resists crushing and abrasion

Sharp live-image and clear movies for reliable observation and analysis

When it comes to remote visual inspections, image quality is one of the highest priorities. The IPLEX UltraLite is equipped with our unique Olympus image processor, and produces sharp and clear images. Along with its superb color-reproducing capability, the IPLEX UltraLite enables you to accurately detect even small defects.
Observed images can be stored in a connected SD or SDHC card as high-quality JPEG still images and MPEG-4 movies.
