Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe
Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe HD and 3D measurement-enabled videoscope system powers unparalleled advanced detection, collaborative decision making thanks through Bluetooth and WiFi
Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe
Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe is the world’s first ruggedly portable, HD and 3D measurement-enabled videoscope system powers unparalleled advanced detection and in-the-moment collaborative decision making thanks to Bluetooth and WiFi-enablement.
Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe driven by advanced analytics to inspect in entirely new ways, the more intelligent Mentor Visual iQ leverages computer vision and machine learning to increase data quality whilst reducing inspection times. Experience truly reliable remote visual inspections for the first time using the Mentor Visual iQ video borescope. With a high-definition camera that unlocks the power of digital zoom, images have never been this clear. Mentor Visual iQ enables smaller indication recognition from further distances, increasing the Probability of Detection (POD) for indications such as corrosion, blockages, and cracking. This versatile borescope inspection tool offers a wide selection of interchangeable probes and platform configurations to enable thorough visual inspections and improve the Probability of Detection (POD) for high-value rotating equipment. A 200% brighter remote touchscreen controller and improved viewing angle range help detect even the smallest hidden faults.
All of this adds up to the most versatile, reliable and comprehensive video borescope protection available for your toughest industrial inspection challenges.

Improve accuracy with Real3D the only technology providing a fully surfaced Point Cloud
Advances in Point Cloud-based 3D measurement are making the VideoProbe an increasingly powerful tool for inspectors in the aerospace, power generation, manufacturing, and oil and gas industries. GE’s most advanced VideoProbe uses the processing power of Real3D™ to help you map, measure, and analyze indications in a visualized fully surfaced Point Cloud—enhancing POD.
3D Point Cloud visualization allows inspectors to check measurement set-up in real time, reducing the likelihood of inaccurate measurements that can result in unnecessary downtime, scrap, and maintenance costs, as well as safety or reliability risks. And with TrueSight HD visuals and digital zoom, and the new long-range 3D measurement tip, even more accurate measurement is now possible from increased distances.
Real3D™ Measurement – Advanced 3D Inspection Software
- Real3D™ measurement combines fully surfaced point cloud visualization, advanced measurement algorithms and an insightful 3D Surface Mask and a dynamic warning system to enable more accurate and repeatable measurement decisions. Choose from three measurement technologies (3D Phase, 3D Stereo and traditional stereo). 3D Phase measurement allows measurement on-demand without changing tips.
- Each of these technologies is compatible with some or all of our 9 measurement types to help get the measurement needed in multiple applications. They include basics like length, depth point to line and area, but also specialty types including depth profile, area depth profile, automatic tip blade clearance and radius gauge.
- Aside from measurement types, Real3D provides advanced tools such as depth assist and projected measurement plane to further increase accuracy of measurements
The VideoProbe of the future
The Mentor Visual iQ is changing the way remote visual inspections are being performed. Leveraging artificial intelligence and cloud-based digital tools to help improve productivity, accuracy, and reliability of inspection data.
Powerful analytics: Artificial intelligence is being utilized across industries and functions, the Mentor Visual iQ is designed to enable a user to leverage analytical models from multiple sources.
- Waygate Technologies Analytics. Gas Power assist and Blade Counter are analytics developed to improve reliability and data integrity
- Third Party Partner Analytics. Available directly on the Mentor Visual iQ, users can leverage Aiir Innovations aviation commercial engine models for defect detection
- Third Party Private Analytics. For customers developing their own analytics, the Mentor Visual iQ enables deployment to a global team
Datasheets are available for each analytic to guide users through applicability and operating procedures
When and where you need them: The Mentor Visual iQ connects directly to the InspectionWorks Store to provide access to workflows and reference libraries. Available to all is the Public store which contains manuals, analytic data sheets, MDI templates and other reference materials. The Private store is available to InspectionWorks subscribers providing a secure repository for custom MDI workflows, analytics, reference documents, or any other resources your team may need to access and download on to their Mentor Visual iQ. With Push2IW, data collected during an inspection is automatically pushed to the InspectionWorks Insight cloud, ensuring against data loss and reducing after-inspection data management tasks.
