Abstract
Apparatus for performing inspections in difficult to access locations. The device includes remotely controlled transport apparatus upon which is mounted a camera and illumination lamps. The transport apparatus is maneuvered, through the remote control system, to the location where a visual inspection is to be performed. The associated camera then transmits a picture of the area in the vicinity of the camera back to a remote television monitor where it may be viewed.
