At Forbest, we deliver high-performance pipe inspection solutions for professionals in every field. Whether your project is residential, commercial, or municipal, our products offer precision, and reliability.
In this blog, we’ll explore the key components—camera heads, cables & reels, and control stations—that make our systems the top choice worldwide.
Pipe Camera Heads
Forbest offers a range of camera heads designed to fit different pipe diameters and inspection requirements. Our camera heads are crafted with advanced technology to provide crystal-clear video, making it easier to detect blockages, cracks, and leaks.
Here’s a breakdown of the types we offer:
- Pan & Tilt Camera Heads
 |
For bigger-diameter pipes, our Camera Heads feature advanced motorized technology that enables the camera to pan and tilt. This function allows for a 360-degree view of the pipe’s interior, ensuring that you can inspect every detail, including sidewalls and lateral connections. These units are perfect for more comprehensive inspections and are engineered to withstand tough conditions. |
- Straight-View Camera Heads
 |
For smaller pipes (as small as 0.5"), our straight-view camera heads offer simplicity without sacrificing quality. These camera heads provide a direct view down the pipe, making them ideal for standard inspections. With self-leveling technology built into some models, you can ensure that your footage remains upright and easy to interpret. |
Cables & Reels
Cables & reels are an essential component of any pipe inspection system, responsible for housing and maneuvering the push cables.
At Forbest, we offer two types of reels:
- Standalone Cable Reels
 |
Our standalone cable reels are built for heavy-duty applications. They support long push cables—up to 400 feet—making them suitable for larger or more complex inspections. Many of these reels are equipped with wheels for easy transportation, and their robust frames ensure stability whether they are used horizontally or vertically. |
- Handheld Cable Reels
 |
The handheld cable reels are lightweight, portable solutions that carry push cables up to 130 feet. These reels are perfect for on-the-go professionals. They fit neatly into carrying cases, making them easy to transport and quick to use for smaller jobs. |
Control Stations
At Forbest, we offer a range of control stations that allow you to view, record, and analyze footage. Whether you need a basic setup for general inspections or an advanced system for more complex operations, our control stations deliver precision and reliability.
We offer three main types:
- Regular Control Station
 |
Our Regular Control Station is designed for professionals who need a simple, effective solution for pipe inspections. This control station comes with a clear monitor display, enabling you to view and record footage on-site. It’s perfect for standard inspections because its straightforward design ensures you can focus on the job without unnecessary complexity. |
- Multi-function Control Station
 |
For advanced inspections, the Multi-function Control Station offers a step up in features and flexibility. Designed for professionals who require additional functionality, this control box includes features such as USD & SD Recording, keyboard and Joysticks for additional pan-tilt camera system functionality. The multi-function control box is ideal for projects that demand more customization and control over the inspection process. |
- Smart Multi-function Control Tablet
 |
Forbest’s Smart Multi-Function Control Tablet with an Android operating system is a game-changer. This tablet-based control station includes a built-in WiFi module that connects directly to your smart device. It also features AI-Voice Control and the ability to customize and analyze inspection data in real-time. |
