  • Patent number: 6091453
    Abstract: The present invention is a simple, rugged, preferably hand-held video camera and light source useful for inspection of a remote or obstructed field of view. The invention is particularly adapted for use by automobile mechanics and others, as a replacement for the mechanics' mirrors presently in use. The apparatus comprises a shaft, a support, a pivot, a miniature video camera, and a light source. The shaft has a handle at one end and supports the camera and light source on a support pivoted to its other end. The shaft can be bent to a particular shape readily, then substantially hold that shape as it is used. The light source can be at least one electric-powered illuminating lamp. The preferred light source includes two or more illuminating lamps distributed around the camera lens to reduce shadows. A preferred light source is a series of infrared LED's. The present apparatus has several advantages, particularly inexpensive, versatile construction and a superior, shadow-free light source.
