Mentor Flex+ VideoProbe

The Everest Mentor Flex+ is a configurable industrial video borescope for teams inspecting turbines, engines, machinery and other difficult internal areas. QuickChange probes let inspectors adapt one system to different access requirements, while TrueSight imaging provides the clarity needed to identify surface conditions. Real3D measurement supports dimensional defect evaluation directly from inspection data. With gravity-assisted navigation, guided workflows and InspectionWorks connectivity, Mentor Flex+ helps inspection teams capture, organize and report reliable findings without adding unnecessary equipment or steps.

WHY MENTOR FLEX+

Get More From Every Inspection System

Avoid Fixed-Probe Limitations

Quick change probes let one handset support multiple diameters and lengths without carrying separate inspection systems.

Measure Instead Of Estimate

Real3D turns visible indications into surfaced point-cloud data for more informed defect evaluation and disposition.

Inspect Before Equipment Fully Cools

Optimized imaging up to 100°C can reduce waiting time before inspecting recently operated engines and equipment.

Handle Difficult Imaging Conditions

HDR, Dark Boost and Adaptive Noise Reduction improve visibility across reflective, dark and noisy inspection scenes.

Keep Every Finding Connected

Guided capture, automatic tagging and Inspection Works integration prevent valuable inspection data from becoming scattered or incomplete.

Reach Tighter Inspection Paths

The shortened 6.1 mm camera head navigates tight bends where longer probe heads may restrict access.

Technical details

Built Around the Inspection, Not One Configuration

The Everest Mentor Flex+ is an industrial video borescope built around interchangeable QuickChange probes. Teams can use 4.0 mm, 6.1 mm, or 6.2 mm probe configurations with one handset, then select forward-view, side-view, or measurement tips based on the access path and inspection requirement.

TrueSight image processing supports inspection in reflective, dark, and difficult scenes. Available controls include High Dynamic Range, Dark Boost, Adaptive Noise Reduction, distortion correction, color saturation, and Auto-Rotate. Image quality remains optimized at temperatures up to 100°C.

Choose the Setup That Fits the Inspection

4.0 mm probes in 2.0 m and 3.0 m lengths
6.1 mm probes from 2.0 m to 8.0 m
6.2 mm working channel probe for compatible retrieval tools
Forward-view, side-view, and stereo measurement tips
Always-Up direction indicator and automatic image rotation
Guided inspection capture through Menu Directed Inspection

Defect Evaluation

Real3D Measurement

Creates a fully surfaced point cloud for sizing cracks, corrosion, wear, and other visible indications.

Inspection Records

InspectionWorks Ready

Push2IW transfers inspection files for centralized storage, collaboration, inspection history, and reporting.

The assembled system is rated IP65 and tested to MIL-STD-810H environmental requirements. Integrated Wi-Fi, HDMI, USB-C, and USB-A connections support file transfer, external displays, and connected inspection workflows.

One configurable platform can support varied access points, measurement needs, and inspection workflows without requiring a separate videoscope for every probe diameter or length.

Review the key specifications for configuring the Everest Mentor Flex+. Probe length, optical tip, field of view, depth of field, and measurement capability depend on the selected probe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was the Mentor Flex VideoProbe discontinued?

The Mentor Flex VideoProbe was discontinued for new sales after the updated Mentor Flex+ became available. Flex+ builds on the previous-generation system with QuickChange probes, Real3D measurement, a 6.2 mm working channel and improved orientation tools. Existing Mentor Flex units may still remain suitable for their current inspection tasks.

Will my Mentor Flex probes and optical tips work with Flex+?

Do not assume every probe, optical tip or accessory from the previous Mentor Flex is compatible with Flex+. Compatibility may vary by diameter, connection and component generation. Share your existing part numbers with AIT before ordering so the team can confirm what can be reused and what needs to be replaced.

My current Mentor Flex still works. Why should I upgrade?

An upgrade makes sense when the previous model limits probe choice, defect measurement or retrieval work. Mentor Flex+ accepts different QuickChange probes, adds surfaced Real3D measurement and supports a 6.2 mm working channel. If your current system still covers every application, AIT can help determine whether upgrading provides enough practical value.

Is Mentor Flex+ excessive for routine visual inspections?

Not necessarily. The benefit is that you can configure the system around current work without closing off future needs. A basic probe can handle routine viewing, while Real3D tips, alternate probe sizes or the working channel can be added when an inspection requires measurement, tighter access or retrieval.

What am I giving up with a fixed-probe videoscope?

A fixed-probe system ties the handset to one diameter and length. When access conditions change, you may need another system or must stop the inspection. QuickChange probes let Mentor Flex+ adapt to different routes while keeping the same handset, interface and data workflow.

Can Mentor Flex+ reduce downtime after equipment shutdown?

It can reduce one source of delay. The system maintains optimized imaging at temperatures up to 100°C, allowing some inspections to begin sooner than equipment with lower temperature limits. Cooling requirements still depend on the asset, inspection procedure, probe limits and site safety rules.

What happens if a probe is damaged during a critical inspection?

With a fixed-probe system, probe damage may remove the entire unit from service. Mentor Flex+ uses interchangeable QuickChange probes, so a compatible backup probe can be attached and the inspection can continue. Keeping a backup is an operational choice, but the modular design gives teams that option.
