Bring the Camera to the Steel.
A gimbal-stabilised, 64 MP camera on the 18.2 m ALTUM carbon pole delivers close visual evidence of welds, coatings and corrosion, from the ground. One technician brings the lens right up to the structure without scaffolding, rope access, a MEWP or a drone permit, and the result is survey-grade evidence behind every repair decision.
Close Visual Evidence, Captured from a Safe Standing Point
The ALTUM Visual Inspection Module clamps onto the same carbon pole as every other ALTUM module and lifts a high-resolution 64 MP, gimbal-stabilised camera up to 18.2 m. Two LED lights (about 550 lux at 1 m) light the surface, and stabilisation keeps the image steady at full extension, so the operator sees welds, coating breakdown and corrosion clearly on the viewer, in real time.
The access problem it solves is simple: the steel that most needs a look is usually the hardest to reach. Conventionally that means scaffolding, a rope-access team, a cherry-picker or a drone permit: time, cost and risk before the inspection even starts. With the visual module, one person brings the lens to the structure and stays on the ground.
- 64 MP gimbal-stabilised camera with two LED lights (≈550 lux @ 1 m)
- Live feed on a Samsung tablet viewer, phone viewer optional
- Used in class-society survey work; one-operator deployment
- No scaffolding, rope access, MEWP or drone permit required
Pick the Head for the Access
The same 64 MP gimbal camera comes in two protective configurations: one built for tall, open structures, and one slim enough to enter a small opening. Add the right one to your quote and we'll confirm the package.
Visual Module: Great Heights
The common choice for jib cranes and tall structures. A patented protective bumper cage of about 300 mm diameter surrounds the head, so the camera can be worked right up against beams, booms and weld seams without risk to the lens. It carries the same 64 MP gimbal-stabilised camera and two LED lights, with the live feed on the tablet viewer.

| Lighting | 2× LED, ≈550 lux @ 1 m |
| Protective cage | ≈300 mm diameter (patented) |
| Viewer | Tablet (phone optional) |
| Case | Storage flight case included |
Visual Module: Narrow Spaces
For pipe racks and small tanks, where the access opening is the constraint. The slim head fits a minimum opening of 160 mm, so the same 64 MP gimbal-stabilised camera can be threaded into tight gaps and confined volumes that the caged variant cannot enter, while the operator stays outside.

Make a Specific Inspection Possible
A few job-specific extras turn the visual module loose on awkward geometry: horizontal reach, in-tank cabling, a phone viewer and a spare battery. Add what you need to your quote.
3 m Horizontal Overhang
Inspect horizontally rather than straight up, used for pipe racks and when inspecting bridges, reaching in over and under the structure from a standing point to the side.
10 m In-Tank Cable
Inside some round tanks the Wi-Fi link between camera and tablet can be disturbed. Positioning the tablet outside the tank, or using a 10 m cable between the viewer and the camera, resolves it.
Phone Viewer
An optional phone viewer with a pole mount, as an alternative to the included Samsung tablet. It's a lighter way to watch the live camera feed in the field.
Spare Battery
An extra battery extends working time on longer surveys, so a full day of inspection doesn't pause to recharge. The module is supplied in a storage flight case.
Welds, Bridges & Superstructure
Wherever a close look at the steel is the hard part, the visual module earns its keep, especially across the marine and offshore world that SepcoTech serves.
Cranes & Weld Inspection
Booms, jibs and post-repair weld seams high on cranes: close, high-resolution images of weld condition and coating breakdown, captured with the Great Heights cage from the ground.
Great HeightsBridges & Pipe Racks
Undersides, beams and elevated pipe racks, including sites near railways where drones and aerial platforms are not permitted. The 3 m horizontal overhang reaches in over and under the structure.
Narrow Spaces · 3 m OverhangShips & Superstructure
Hull plating, topsides and superstructure: visual condition, weld and coating checks from the dock floor or deck, no staging built against the side of the vessel.
Great HeightsThe weld is 18 metres up. The camera goes there. The inspector doesn't.
From a crane jib to a bridge underside to a ship's superstructure, the visual module brings a steady 64 MP image right up to the steel while the technician stays at a safe standing point. No staging to build, no rope team to mobilise, no airspace permit to wait for.
Proven on Real Structures
The visual module has been deployed where access was difficult, dangerous or simply not permitted.
Weld Inspection on a 64 m Crane
Post-repair weld inspection high on a harbour crane with the visual module: one person, no crane downtime to build access.
Where Drones Weren't Allowed
A bridge inspection at a site where drones and aerial platforms were not permitted. The ground-based pole reached the structure without an airspace permit.
Welds & Coatings, Up Close
Close, high-resolution images of welds, coating breakdown and corrosion: the visual evidence behind a repair decision, captured from a safe standing point.
