SeeSnake APX
APX Features
SeeSnake APX camera reels offer enhanced viewing with a TruSense® camera and an auto image flip feature.
When connected to a SeeSnake CSx series device, the APX flips your onscreen image as the camera rotates through the pipe, ensuring your image remains oriented upright. An on-screen icon indicates the vertical orientation with respect to the image.
