Inspection CamerasRST cameras all feature Single Conductor Technology (opens into a new window) and RST's many features lead the industry.Depending upon the model you choose, RST cameras offer:
TrakSTAR II
TrakSTAR
Options include:
The OmniSTAR Probe Camera
Features include:
The OmniEYE 360Here it is: The first single conductor panomorphic inspection system available for pipeline inspection!
With its continuous 360° image capture, operators can perform uninterrupted pipeline inspections at speeds up to two times faster than traditional methods (up to 70' per minute). The OmniEYE 360 camera is designed for inspection in lined 6" and larger diameter lines up to 2,500' in length. The inspection process is greatly simplified when using the OmniEYE 360 – crews only need to clean the line and then run a continuous inspection. Post processing and review can be accomplished in the field or back at the office. The captured images are linked with a powerful software package that allows for identifying defects and features in the pipeline with greater speed and accuracy than traditional inspection methods. Data capture features include:
Standard RST Transporters

The clutch allows rapid freewheel retrieval once the inspection is complete so production capability is greatly optimized. The TranSTAR, at 19" in length, offers tremendous versatility through its many standard features like its tilt-up connector and rear color view camera and options that include manual and motorized elevator systems and multiple tire configurations. |
The TranSTAR, at 19" in length, offers tremendous versatility through its many standard features like its tilt-up connector and rear color view camera, as well as options that include manual and motorized elevator systems and multiple tire configurations. RST has also developed a wide variety of skids, flotation devices and winch accessories for applications where motorized transporters are not feasible or practical.
The TranSTAR II uses the same innovative technology as its larger
counterpart, the TranSTAR. Dual 90-watt motors let the TranSTAR II
achieve speeds up to 70' per minute. The clutch allows rapid freewheel
retrieval once the inspection is complete.
At just 14" in length, the TranSTAR II features a tilt-up connector, rear view color camera and options such as manual and motorized elevator systems and multiple tire configurations, making it an extremely versatile addition to your inspection toolbox in a robust, compact size.
One of the fastest ways to learn about the TransStar II is to watch this 1-minute video about the product.
This unit's easily adjustable, cantilevered camera mount
and optional tire combinations allow for superior performance in small pipelines. The Mighty Mini Tractor can be configured to transport the RST 1306 camera or OmniSTAR Probe camera.
Travel speeds up to 40' per minute with plenty of power generated by a 25W Rare-Earth permanent magnet motor, high efficiency planetary gear train and four-wheel drive.
Available in single or multi-conductor configurations,
the ProTRAK operates in line sizes from 6" to 30".
Three forward speeds, reverse and a freewheel mode for
easy retrieval, the ProTRAK Crawler offers travel speeds up to 55' per minute at
full power.
Specially designed, contoured pads, attached with dual stainless steel rivets on #40 stainless steel chain, provide a large contact surface for maximum traction and extreme durability.
