RIDGID SeeSnake Alternatives
At the present moment products from RIDGIT are quite popular on the market. People like them for their good design, and wide selection of options. Here at Fiberscope.net, we offer a very good selection of different devices for remote visual inspections. In most cases, our cameras have comparable quality, with the same or even better technical characteristics as SeeSnake tools, but at more competitive prices. We've received dozens of testimonials from our clients who have found great devices increasing their revenue for the best price on the market.
So, how can you find a proper camera in our line that will match a SeeSnake tool?
First of all, you need to be aware that SeeSnake is not the name just for one product, but the name of the product line which includes: SeeSnake microDrain and microReel cameras, SeeSnake Compact and Mini-SeeSnake, SeeSnake Standard and Self Leveling inspection system, SeeSnake micro inspection camera. Plus, there are some terms that are confusing, and RIGID MicroExplorer videoscope and Micro Inspection Camera don't have to be mixed up with the broad spectrum of video borescopes available from other producers which are called "Snake Cameras".
Second, determine what your needs are. When you call our technical specialists to get information about our products the first thing they will ask you is what type of inspections you want to do. It is well worth it to have a clear idea of what you need the product to be able to do, as it will help you to choose the proper product with desirable features and accessories.
Will this be a snake camera for basic inspection of sinks, wall cavities, or outer regions of air ducts? For this, you don't need a complicated system with a long working probe. Our ORION videoscopes (that can successfully substitute for SeeSnake micro and MicroExplorer) would be a good choice for you. With a waterproof insertion tube, a great selection of probes with different lengths and diameters, and image and video capture options, they will give you a lot of flexibility in your everyday work.
Do you want to use your camera to inspect sewer, drains, long HVAC ducts, or chimneys?
Take a look at our pipe inspection line of products. Our basic and most popular VIPER push camera, at a better price, when compared to SeeSnake, delivers all the most important and valuable features for contractors.
The next step up from the VIPER would be pro-level HATHORN pipe cameras which are the perfect blend of compact and lightweight, yet extremely rugged and durable for heavy daily use.
If you are looking for something even more sophisticated than a RIDGID SeeSnake to get more information and visibility during your inspections, check out our TROGLOPROBE PRO Pan-and-Tilt camera which is equipped with a remotely rotating camera head that pans 360⁰ and tilts 180⁰ to view and capture maximum details.
Our technical specialists are available and more than happy to answer any questions you may have, as well as help you find the product that will best suit your needs for the greatest value.

- Written by Zachary1/25/2024It's not just a tool; it's a game-changer
I recently purchased the Camtronics MiniFlex Inspection Camera from your company, and after a season of using it I am compelled to share my outstanding experience with both the product and the customer service I received.
Firstly, the MiniFlex Inspection Camera has exceeded my expectations. It's not just a tool; it's a game-changer. Tasks that used to take me two hours can now be completed in mere minutes, thanks to the efficiency and precision of this camera. Its performance is exactly as advertised, and it has become an indispensable asset in my toolkit. I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to Josh, who assisted me during the purchase. His approach was nothing short of stellar. His considerate nature, extensive product knowledge, and patience made all the difference. I was initially unsure about the best product for my needs, especially after having spent thousands on other products that fell short. Josh's guidance was instrumental in helping me find exactly what I needed. My experience with your product and team, especially Josh, has been remarkable. I am thoroughly impressed and satisfied. I rate this experience 5 stars and 10/10 without hesitation.
Thank you for your commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service. I look forward to future purchases and will certainly recommend your company to my peers. Best regards, - Written by Ron 11/23/2024Awesome Camera
Camera is awesome! We knocked out 28 direct vent fireplaces in 2 hours.
Also ran it down a couple toilets as well.
Great purchase - Written by Scott 1/31/2021«Great performance!»
I was having an issue inspecting galvanized lines in a house. I had a Ridgid microDrain camera but we were only able to do about 50% of our inspections. So after reviewing some information and videos on Miniflex plumbing camera, we arranged a demo.
The sink in the bathroom we snaked and tried out, the Ridgid unit did not go into the drain, the Miniflex went right in. In the Tub, plastic line into galvanized, Miniflex went in both ways to 7, again the Ridgid did not.
In the Kitchen both units worked fine in that drain, which was more plastic piping. Both units performed the same. In direct comparison I liked the software on the Ridgid more, but obviously, the Miniflex plumbing camera is a way better performer, especially in houses with galvanized lines. - Written by DS 11/17/2020«It's great equipment!»
My shower drain was having clogging problems 3 to 4 times per year and each time I had to call plumbers as well as use drain snake myself to clear the clog. Finally, I wanted to check the drainpipe and see if anything inside the pipe was causing the clog. I called plumbing companies and was told that there is not a camera available that can move through a 1.5-inch pipe and the P-Trap. I decided to check online and found MiniFlex plumbing camera specifically designed for 1-1/4" drainpipes or bigger.
I called the Fiberscope company located in Woburn MA and after talking to Terry I rented the MiniFlex and a locator which they shipped to my address in Mercer Island Washington.
I used the camera and the locator the same day after receiving it. It was very easy to push the cable with the camera through the drainpipe and especially the P-Trap. The plumbing camera's small monitor was very clearly showing the camera moving forward until it could not move further. I saw something inside the pipe that should not have been there. The locator was also very helpful locating the camera inside the wall on the lower floor laundry room.
Now I will involve a professional to open the wall with the problem pipe and replace the section of the pipe that had foreign object inside.
MiniFlex camera was very helpful in finding the problem which we had for many years.
This is the only plumbing camera on the market that can get through the shower drainpipe and with ease! - Steve KokkinidisThis camera is worth the money for the size and what it's capable of doing. Today, I inspected a 4-inch cast iron drain that was pretty dirty. The camera shocked me. I was able to see the pipe perfectly. I never expected that this tiny camera can see that clearly inside a 4-inch cast iron pipe. The only thing that's missing is a button that can change angles since there is no auto-level feature on this camera. Other than that it was easy to push and easy to carry. I'm very impressed with what it can do.Kills the rigid see snake by far.

Harkins Builders, IncI would like to thank Terry Peristerakis at Fiberscope.net for helping us solve a very unique situation on a project we recently completed. We were faced with a situation where we needed to inspect the plumbing piping coming from the stack to the toilet. We entertained a number of potential ways to do this (pulling 400 toilets, Cutting 400 holes in the ceiling) none were viable options or cost effective. We decided that running a camera down thru the toilet would be the best solution to the problem. We tried 2 different plumbing cameras made by Ridgid and 2 Borescopes one made by Milwaukee and one by Ridgid. None of them were able to make the tight bends in the toilet to get to the piping below. That's when we turned to Strahl and their Miniflex Camtronics camera with its very flexible camera head. Terry was very confident it could do the job and worked with us getting a Demo model to us to make sure it would work. In trials it easily slipped down thru the toilet and into the stack without any difficulty. We are so pleased with this camera solution that we purchased one and had it shipped to our location to complete the 400 inspections. We highly recommend this plumbing camera anytime you need to make very tight bends and turns. It also has the ability to take video and pictures to help with our documentation of the inspections as they were done. - Henry SanchezI rented a mini-flex plumbing camera and locator to find over a dozen broken 1" electrical conduits in a large swimming pool build. First of all the customer service, delivery, etc. were amazing. These guys go above and beyond to take care of you. The unit was freaking amazing. Really need to purchase one of these. Would use these guys again with my eyes closed.
With many options to choose from you may find it hard to decide which is best suited for your needs. Tell us about your application and we will recommend the right tool to do the job without spending a fortune!
