Everything You Need Before You Decide
Video Borescope With Advanced 3D Measurement
MVIQ+ is Waygate Technologies’ flagship video borescope for inspections where dimensional measurement matters as much as image quality.
Real3D Measurement includes 3D Phase and Real3D Stereo. 3D Phase projects structured light onto the target to create dense, full-surface 3D data. Real3D Stereo uses calibrated dual-view optics and triangulation.
Compatible configurations measure crack length, depth, area, profiles, angles, corrosion, erosion, blade damage, clearances, and missing material. Point-cloud review helps verify cursor placement, geometry, planes, masks, and confidence indicators.
Built for Critical Inspection
Use MVIQ+ when an inspection must size an indication, compare it with approved limits, document the evidence, and support a maintenance decision.

Got questions?
Mentor Visual iQ+ Buying Questions
What is the main reason to choose MVIQ+?
MVIQ+ is built for inspection programs where dimensional measurement is critical. Its key differentiator is configurable 3D Phase Measurement, which creates dense, full-surface 3D data for sizing defects and component features inside inaccessible equipment.
What is 3D Phase Measurement?
3D Phase uses a compatible optical tip to project structured light onto the target. MVIQ+ analyzes the reflected pattern to create full-surface 3D data for supported length, depth, area, profile, angle, clearance, and other measurements.
How is 3D Phase different from Real3D Stereo?
Real3D Stereo uses calibrated dual-view optics and triangulation. 3D Phase projects structured light and analyzes the reflected pattern to build dense surface data. The best choice depends on the component, surface condition, access, field of view, and inspection procedure.
Can one MVIQ+ support multiple inspection programs?
Yes, when configured with suitable probes, optical tips, software, accessories, and workflows. Each application should still be checked for access, environment, viewing direction, measurement requirements, and reporting needs.
Does MVIQ+ include Real3D measurement by default?
No. The MVIQ+ system and its measurement configuration are selected separately. 3D Phase requires compatible software, probes, optical tips, and the appropriate measurement package. AIT should confirm the complete configuration before quoting.
Does Aero-Assist require an internet connection during inspection?
No. Supported Aero-Assist analytics run onboard the MVIQ+ and do not require a continuous internet connection during inspection or recalled-image analysis. Connectivity may still be required for software installation, licensing, updates, data transfer, or InspectionWorks workflows.
Can AIT develop analytics for other inspection applications?
Application-specific analytics may be available or developed for additional components, engine families, and defect categories. Feasibility depends on the inspection target, available image data, defect definitions. Advanced Inspection Technologies can help route qualified requirements to the appropriate Waygate Technologies team.
Can an existing Mentor Visual iQ probe work with MVIQ+?
Some probes may be compatible, but compatibility should be confirmed before use. AIT should verify the probe part number, diameter, length, connector, system generation, imaging type, and required measurement capability.
Can MVIQ+ capabilities be upgraded after purchase?
Some compatible systems may support software, workflow, imaging, or measurement upgrades. Certain upgrades are field-installable, while others may require factory service, calibration, or additional hardware. Provide the handset serial number and current configuration for confirmation.
Can the same MVIQ+ system be used across multiple inspection programs?
Yes, when configured with the appropriate interchangeable probes, optical tips, measurement tools, software, and accessories. Menu Directed Inspection, file management, user workflows, and connected reporting can also support repeatable procedures across different assets and inspection programs. Compatibility must still be confirmed for each application.
Can MVIQ+ be rented or demonstrated before purchase?
Yes. AIT can help arrange rental or demonstration options based on availability and the required probe, package, measurement capability, and accessories. Share the inspection application and configuration needs before scheduling.
