Go-Pro Mounted on a Sled
Using a mobile video camera, such as a GoPro®, mounted on a sled is a cost effective method to inspect straight (without bends or undulations) conduits, especially conduits at remote dam sites given its small size and ease of transport. The sled can be easily manufactured and attached to a metal push pipe with couplers to extend the sled in 6-foot lengths, as necessary. This style of system will allow the conduit to be inspected by providing video and pictures, but has limitations associated with the lack of panning capabilities and maneuverability of the camera.
