Photograph of a manual cable reel loaded with 500 feet of sewer camera cable. The front-mounted device is our optional cable distance counter. This unit measures approximately 12" x 12" x 18". If you plan to use a shorter cable, we will supply a shorter unit to cut down on size and weight. This photo clearly shows the hand crank on the right, and the slip ring box on the left in line with the drum's shaft. Balloon tires and a pulling handle are also available as options.

Photographs of motorized reels. The top photo clearly shows the mercury slip ring assembly (blue box on right of unit in line with the drum's shaft), the motor and its chain drive (no slippage, no maintenance, and immunity to dirt and mud), the automatic spooler with its chain drive on the left, and the electronic cable distance counter in the front. This reel is shown containing 250 feet of camera cable.

This photo shows a similar motorized reel that can be installed in the rear of a MiniVan, fully wired, with the addition of a cable protection roller. Capacity can be up to 2,500 feet.
