Find cracks, voids, & water before blasting
Clear 1080p wide-angle video
Tough waterproof design
Built-in lighting for dark holes
Easy-to-read 7” screen
Cable marked for depth accuracy
The MTi Group Borehole Camera is a simple way to see what's actually happening inside a blast hole before you load it. Cavities. Cracks. Voids. Water.
Finding those hazards early is the whole point.
The camera is stainless steel and waterproof. It has a 120-degree wide-angle lens, integrated lighting for dark holes, and records 1080p HD video. The 7-inch screen gives you a clean picture while you work and detaches from the frame to get a better view.
A modular centralizer keeps the camera in the middle of the hole so it doesn't scrape or twist against the walls. The cable is marked every 0.5 m and feeds off a reel that deploys smooth and winds back quick — so depth checks are easy and the operator isn't fighting the gear all day.
Most crews use this as a downhole camera — for QA checks, troubleshooting drill-and-blast problems, and inspecting holes in rough ground before loading. It works in wet holes, dry holes, surface mining, and underground.
Use it when you need to verify the bench is ready to load.
Use it when a shot is going sideways and you need to see why.
And use it when the cost of a bad blast is more than the cost of the camera.

Works in Any Conditions
Wet or Dry Holes
Waterproof stainless steel housing (IP68 equivalent) means the camera works the same in flooded holes, dry holes, or holes with groundwater seepage. Deploy it and keep moving.
Surface or Underground
Open pit or underground. Same deployment, same camera, same picture. Use it on the bench, in a drift, or in a raise.
Harsh Environments
Mine sites are rough on gear. Stainless steel housing and a framed reel stand up to the dust, rock, and rough handling you'll put it through on a real site.

Why MTi
This camera was built around the specific problem drill-and-blast crews face: finding cavities, cracks, voids, and water before they ruin a shot. Most other borescopes on the market were built for well inspection or plumbers — they'll break on a bench in a year.
How to Install
Step-by-Step Installation
Step 1: Position the Stand
Set the camera stand securely next to the collar of the hole. Make sure the reel has a clear feed line into the hole.
Step 2: Power On and Check the Screen
Turn on the 7" screen and make sure the feed is clear. If you need to walk around, detach the screen from the frame.
Step 3: Lower the Camera
Steadily lower the camera into the hole. Watch the screen as it goes — note any cavities, cracks, water, or obstructions.
Step 4: Read Your Depth
The cable is marked every 0.5 m. Call out depth as the camera passes each mark so you can log where you spot problems.
Step 5: Review and Share
Pull the camera back up, save the footage from the SD card, and share it with your engineer, shotfirer, or blast design team using the included USB reader.
Pro Tips
- Before Each Use: Inspect the cable for cuts or kinks. Check the centralizer is secured. Confirm the screen powers on and the lens is clean. A quick check saves a bad deployment.
- Flooded Holes: The camera is fully waterproof. You may get more reflections in water, but the camera functions the same — integrated lighting and the 120° lens still give a clear picture.
- Deep Holes: The 50 m cable is your depth limit — it covers the vast majority of blast holes in open pit and quarry work. Call the MTi team if your typical hole depth exceeds 50 m and we can talk about options.
- Rough Ground: The stainless steel housing and modular centralizer handle abrasive rock and rough handling. If you drop it, inspect the housing and lens before the next deployment.
Storage & Safety
Non-Hazardous Transport
The Borehole Camera is classified as non-hazardous. No DG paperwork required for ground, sea, or air freight. Ship it like any other piece of electronic inspection equipment.
Check Before You Use
Before each deployment, inspect the cable for cuts or kinks. Check the centralizer is secured. Confirm the screen powers on and the lens is clean. A quick check saves a bad deployment.
Storage
Store the full system in the included protective storage case between shifts and during transit. Keep it dry, out of direct sunlight, and protected from impact. Charge the battery every few months if the camera sits unused.
Battery Care
Charging voltage is 6–36 V DC. Top up the battery before a big shift and after long storage. Keep the camera on a regular charge cycle to maximize battery life.
