Description
SeeSnake Standard DSL Inspection Camera with TruSense
SeeSnake Standard DSL is a TruSense™-enabled inspection camera reel built for professional drain and sewer diagnostics in 2–12 in lines. Its stiff push cable and Digital Self-Leveling deliver a stable, upright image—without moving parts—for clearer findings, faster decisions, and fewer callbacks.
Overview
The SeeSnake Standard DSL (Model 78733) raises the bar for reliability, image quality, and documentation across commercial, municipal, and residential inspections. Designed for longer, straighter runs, it pairs a stiff push cable with TruSense™ technology so the camera communicates dynamic range, tilt, and orientation directly to compatible RIDGID® SeeSnake® monitors. The result is crisp, digitally self-leveled video that helps technicians locate defects quickly and record evidence with confidence.
Unlike legacy self leveling cameras that use mechanical gimbals, Digital Self-Leveling (DSL) is electronic. With no moving parts in the camera head, there is less wear, fewer service interruptions, and higher uptime. Integrated TiltSense™ inclinometer displays the camera head’s angle on screen to assess bellies and grade, while a built in 512 Hz FleXmitter® sonde supports accurate locating from the surface. In summary, the SeeSnake Standard DSL is engineered for day in, day out productivity where speed, clarity, and proof of work matter.
Features & Benefits
- Digital Self-Leveling: Keeps the image upright electronically—no mechanical rotation—to improve stability and reduce maintenance.
- TruSense™ HDR Imaging: High Dynamic Range enhances contrast so cracks, offsets, roots, and deposits are easier to evaluate on a TruSense-capable monitor.
- TiltSense™ Angle Readout: On-screen inclinometer shows camera tilt to help diagnose low spots and elevation changes.
- Stiff Push Cable: The stiffest Standard cable for efficient navigation on longer distances with fewer turns in larger lines.
- 512 Hz FleXmitter® Sonde: Built in transmitter enables precise locating while preserving push cable flexibility.
- Digital Pan & Zoom: Focus on defects and points of interest without repositioning the camera head.
- Monitor Compatibility: Works with RIDGID CS6x Versa™, CS65XR, CS12x™, and CSx Via™ monitors for capture and reporting.
- Rugged Construction: Stainless steel and impact resistant polymer components with an easy to transport reel frame.
- Clean, Consistent Lighting: Long life LEDs provide uniform illumination and natural color rendering.
Detailed Description
The SeeSnake Standard DSL is purpose built for longer mainline and lateral inspections where push strength, image stability, and reporting quality determine job success. With a stiff push cable, technicians can reach farther with fewer mid run adjustments. Pairing the reel with a TruSense-capable monitor unlocks HDR video, Digital Self-Leveling, TiltSense, and digital pan/zoom, resulting in footage that is easier to interpret and simpler to share with stakeholders.
Construction focuses on durability and ease of use. The reel features a robust frame with an integrated carry handle for fast load in. The camera head uses stainless steel housing to resist impact and corrosion. The gray reel finish maintains a professional look on job sites and in customer facing spaces. For verification and documentation, technicians can annotate, capture images, and export reports directly from compatible RIDGID monitors.
