The support members extend away from the body in a radial direction to contact the interior surface of the pipe and support the body. An individual support member has a first end coupled to the body, and a second end configured to contact the interior surface of the pipe. The light sources are configured to light the interior surface of the pipe. They are coupled to the support members at or near the second end such that the light sources are located in one or more radial positions near the interior surface of the pipe, separated from the one or more cameras and the body by the one or more support members.
