<p>A pipe inspection system comprises an inspection head at the end of a flexible shaft, wherein the inspection head comprises a rigid distal end 40 portion and a rigid portion 42 spaced from the distal end portion by a flexible region 44. The flexible region comprises a series of sections 46 with pivotal connections between adjacent sections which allow pivoting about two orthogonal axes, wherein the range of pivoting between adjacent sections is limited such that the complete series can be pivoted by a maximum angle of between 80 and 100 degrees. A bendable guiding member for a pipe inspection system is disclosed, also. A flow driven drive mechanism is also described in the application.</p> |
