camera skid

[marc schwabinger]

looking for feed back on the rabco universal roller skid

[jojo2]

they work pretty decent.I have sold approx. 12 to my customers. Make sure you check their camera head diameter . Usually the self leveling heads are a little different diameter.

There are two roller skids offered by Rabco (when I demo them) one was a fixed size and worked great in 6" pipe, the other is spring loaded and works fine on one set diameter, if you use it to go from smaller pipe to larger pipe you need a pull rope to retrack the skid back into the smaller pipe, if you are in the pipe two hundred or 150' this could be a nightmare. Pulling back on rope with that much push rod out does not work that great unless you are using very stiff push rod, then you have problems going thru more than two turns in 4" pipe. There are several fold away skids, plastic stars, or use a wiffle ball, works for me (cut half way around ball, place camera spring inside and zip tie the ball back). In large pipes, build a small skid with mini mag light and pull thru with rope, lots of options for the price of the multi size with lights from Rabco. Just my thought.
