Extech launches expanded HDV700 Videoscope Platform and new VB460 Vibration Meter
TELEDYNE FLIR has announced the expansion of its Extech HDV700 Videoscope platform with new Full HD probe options, alongside the launch of the new Extech VB460 Vibration Meter with ISO Alarms.

Designed for maintenance, reliability, facilities, and inspection professionals, the new solutions help users detect issues earlier, diagnose problems more accurately, and make faster maintenance decisions, whether inspecting hard-to-reach equipment or monitoring the health of machinery and equipment subject to vibration.
Enhanced inspection and maintenance capabilities
The expanded HDV700 platform introduces new Full HD (1920 × 1080) probe options that deliver sharper image quality for more detailed visual inspections. New articulating, dual-view, and plumbing probe options increase flexibility across industrial maintenance, building inspection, and pipe inspection applications.
The new VB460 Vibration Meter delivers advanced diagnostic capabilities for condition monitoring applications. With FFT spectrum analysis and expanded measurement tools, the VB460 helps teams identify machine faults earlier and take action before issues lead to unplanned downtime.
“Maintenance teams are under constant pressure to keep equipment running, often with limited time and resources,” said Heliel Morales, director of business development for condition monitoring at Teledyne FLIR. “The expanded HDV700 platform and new VB460 are designed to help users find problems faster, understand what they’re seeing with greater confidence, and identify emerging risks before they impact productivity, equipment performance, or facilities operations.”
HDV700 expansion: Greater flexibility for visual inspections
The HDV700 Videoscope platform is designed to support a wide range of industrial, facilities, and building inspection applications. The introduction of new Full HD probe options gives users clearer imagery and greater flexibility when inspecting equipment in confined or hard-to-access locations.
Key benefits include:
- New Full HD probe options (1920 × 1080) for sharper images and improved defect detection
- Docked or detached monitor operation for increased flexibility in confined spaces
- New 3.9 mm 4-way articulating HD probe for navigating around obstacles and accessing difficult inspection points
- New dual-view HD probe that provides both forward and side-view imaging without repositioning
- Plumbing probe kit with integrated 512 MHz transmitter for locating and tracking underground pipes when used with compatible locators
- Expanded probe selection to support a broader range of inspection applications
VB460: Advanced vibration analysis made accessible
As organisations continue to invest in predictive maintenance strategies, vibration analysis remains a valuable tool for identifying early-stage mechanical problems. The new VB460 helps maintenance teams go beyond basic vibration measurement by providing additional diagnostic insight into machine condition.
Key benefits include:
- FFT spectrum analysis for identifying vibration frequencies and diagnosing machine faults
- Expanded measurement and analysis capabilities for condition monitoring programmes
- ISO alarm functionality for quick evaluation of machine condition against recognised standards
- Multiple probe tips included for greater application flexibility
- User-friendly interface designed for routine inspections and troubleshooting
Supporting reliability and operational efficiency
Together, the expanded HDV700 platform and VB460 provide complementary tools for maintenance and reliability teams. By combining detailed visual inspections with actionable vibration analysis, organisations can identify issues sooner, improve maintenance planning, reduce troubleshooting time, and make more informed decisions about asset health.
These latest additions further strengthen the Extech portfolio of inspection and measurement solutions designed to help organisations improve reliability, reduce downtime, and increase operational efficiency across industrial and commercial environments.
The expanded Extech HDV700 Videoscope platform and the new Extech VB460 Vibration Meter are available through authorised distributors and partners worldwide.
