MC80 overview

The minCam MC80 is the longest-reach pipe inspection camera in the minCam line. 425 ft (130 m) of push rod on a wheeled stainless steel and carbon frame covers manhole-to-manhole runs and long process lines from a single access point. The KK55SL head self-levels so the picture stays upright through every bend, and the 8.4 in. control unit detaches from the reel so the operator can stand where the screen is easiest to read.

Why the MC80

  • 425 ft (130 m) of reach. Long sewer, storm, and plant runs from one setup, which means fewer access points opened and fewer repositions per line.
  • Self-leveling KK55SL head. The image stays upright through bends, so clock positions and defect locations in the recording match the pipe without mental rotation.
  • 55 mm head, pressure-tight to 10 bar (145 psi). Keeps working in surcharged and flooded lines.
  • Wheeled frame. One person moves 130 m of rod across a plant floor or from truck to manhole.
  • Detachable 8.4 in. sunlight-readable control unit. Distance counter, recording controls, and light control stay with the operator.
  • 512 Hz location sonde in the head. A standard locator finds the camera from the surface so the crew can mark the dig.
  • Records video and stills to SD card with distance stamp. Text generator available as an option for on-screen annotation.
  • Interchangeable heads. The same reel runs the smaller KK29SL for 1.5 in. to 6 in. lines, so one system covers laterals as well as mains.
  • 2 to 3 hours per charge on the internal battery, or run on AC.

Choose the MC80 if

Your runs regularly exceed 200 ft or you work manhole to manhole. For the same self-leveling head on a lighter 200 ft or 300 ft reel, see the minCam MC50. If you need to look into laterals and joints rather than straight down the line, see the minCam MC360 pan and tilt. Browse all pipe inspection cameras AIT supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can the MC80 push?

The reel carries 425 ft (130 m) of 9.2 mm push rod. Usable distance depends on pipe size, bends, and debris, as with any push camera.

What pipe sizes and bends does it handle?

3 in. to 16 in. (80 mm to 400 mm) with appropriate centering skids. The KK55SL turns 90° bends in 4 in. (100 mm) bore and larger.

Does the MC80 record and locate?

Yes. Video and still images record to SD card with the distance counter in the frame, and the 512 Hz sonde in the head works with standard pipe locators.
