Abstract
A control handle and viewing screen assembly combines video monitor and remote steering control for a borescope steering section. A joystick or similar device controls the steering section when an inspection mode is employed. In a second or freeze-frame mode the joystick is used to move a cursor on the screen or to carry out a computation function. Steering servo motors can be positioned distally for balance.
