View in Any Direction with the Motorized Pan and Tilt
Option for GeoVISION™ Camera Systems The motorized Pan and Tilt
option (patent pending) for the GeoVISION™ borehole camera system from
Marks Products, Inc. allows one to pan and tilt the camera head by remote
control simply by moving the joy stick. The system can go as deep as 2000
feet underwater in boreholes two inches or greater. It uses a two motor and
one camera design allowing the operator to point the camera with lights in
any direction including up. This unique design provides significant savings
over multi-camera designs. The Pan and Tilt option provides the operator with
a quick and easy means to view in any direction. In relatively shallow boreholes, the
manual tilting mechanism available with all GeoVISION™ systems is
effective when using a pipe string. This method becomes increasing difficult
at greater depths. As a general rule the deeper and larger the borehole the
more useful the motorized Pan and Tilt option. The flexibility afforded by
the Pan and Tilt option allows the user to do close up detailed inspection of
area of interest in one pass down the borehole saving the need for repeated
passes that sometimes decrease visibility by increase the amount of suspended
material in the water. The Pan and Till option also allows viewing of an
important subject various angles which can provide more detail and lead to a
better understand then a side view only camera. The complete Pan-tilt
assembly will fit into a 1 7/8" diameter borehole making it possible to
gain access though small bores to view larger openings such as mines or
caverns. The standard and Jr color cameras are interchangeable in the field
with the standard and Jr ultra low light black and white cameras allowing
good video images in viewing exceptionally low light environments. The
combination of Pan-tilt with the ultra low light is helpful in large bores
and void where one may need to look around. Several types of supplemental
dive lights are available and can be attached the GeoVISION™ system.
When used with the most powerful supplemental lights this system allows the
user to view objects in large mines, caves, and voids greater than one
hundred feet from the camera. Pan and
Tilt option is used for deep and large boreholes This option is most cost
effective in large borehole and mines where one may need to view to the side,
up, or down. The motorized pan-tilt option is ordered most often when the
user plans to view large and deep boreholes, those below 300 feet with
diameters greater than 8 inches. The motorized Pan and Tilt
option makes viewing in any direction simple, easy, and quick. One may
accomplish all of these functions with the manual tilting mechanism of all
GeoVISION™ models; however, turning and tilting the camera manually
usually requires the user to furnish and operate the camera with a
pipe-string. The convenience and
time savings of the motorized pan-tilt is significant if one inspects large
and deep borehole very often. Very
small boreholes The pan-tilt motor housing
is 1 3/4 inches in diameter. |
