Changing a Camera Skid
When changing skids, unscrew the collar from the camera front and slide the
skid front off the camera head. If necessary, wipe the camera front with a damp

camera body and screw the collar into the new skid hand-tight.

Removing a Camera Skid

pushrod and unscrew the collar from the front by hand. Slide the skid front off
the front of the camera, and the collar off the rear of the camera.
Camera Trolley
The Maxprobe Camera Trolley is designed for use in pipelines of 150mm to 300mm
diameter. The trolley centres the camera head in the larger diameter pipes, lifts the camera
head out of any liquid that may be standing or flowing in the pipeline, and also reduces the
friction between the camera head and the pipe, providing a smoother survey for less effort.
a.
Fitting the Camera Trolley
Disconnect the camera head from the pushrod and place the rear of the skid
case onto the pushrod, with the thread facing the open end of the rod, ensuring
the O-ring is present on the thread.
Position the front section of the skid case onto the trolley base, aligning the
screw holes on the skid case with those on the trolley base (see Figure 24).
Note that the skid case can be mounted at either end of the trolley. Using the
