AUTOOL SVB308 · Detachable Four-Way 1080P Borescope
Steer in Four Directions and Detach the Probe Assembly
Use this automotive inspection camera to steer around hidden components and document the view without a phone. SVB308 pairs a 6.2 mm four-way probe with 1080P imaging and a built-in 4.3-inch screen, then lets you detach the screen and hose for transport or service. Magnetic positioning and onboard recording support practical inspections in tight workshop spaces.

Key Features
Four-Way Steering with a Detachable Probe
360° Four-Way Articulation
The joystick provides 360° four-way articulation, helping the probe enter narrow, curved, and hard-to-reach spaces inside engines, pipes, combustion chambers, and hidden structures.
1080P HD Inspection Camera With 6 LED Lights
1080P imaging, 6 LED lights, and adjustable brightness improve visibility in dark engine compartments, wet pipes, internal passages, and low-light inspection areas.
Detachable Screen And Hose Design
The screen and flexible hose are detachable for storage, portability, and easier accessory replacement. The flexible hose can be removed by unscrewing the screw near the AUTOOL logo.
Magnetic Base And Portable Storage
A strong magnetic base helps attach the device to magnetic surfaces during inspection, improving hands-free convenience and storage after use.
IP67 Probe Protection
Only the probe / camera side is IP67 waterproof and oil-resistant for wet-pipe inspection. The IP67-rated probe supports inspection within the model’s permitted conditions, but the screen and main unit are not waterproof and must stay dry; confirm liquid compatibility separately.
High-Temperature Protection
SVB308 includes high-temperature protection, but users should still wait until the engine fully cools before inspection to avoid camera and hose damage.
Overtemperature Protection
Built-in temperature protection helps protect the probe, while inspection should begin only after the engine has cooled.
Four-Way Inspection Control
Guide the 6.2 mm probe in four directions and view the inspection on the built-in 4.3-inch screen.
Viewing Range
Position the target within the 20–100 mm viewing range for a focused image.
Recording And Operating Configuration
The 6.2 mm probe has a 20–100 mm viewing range, while the 2600 mAh battery, onboard storage and 10-language interface support portable use. Confirm the compatible replacement hose or screen before ordering a spare. Keep the main unit dry and use the thermal protection as a warning to stop, not permission to inspect a hot engine.
3 Years Warranty Support
Main unit: 3-year warranty. Standard accessories: 1-year warranty. Warranty Policy.
Safety & Compatibility
Verify Probe Connection, Access, Heat, and Liquid Exposure
Match The Access Path
Match the complete probe tip and bend path to the narrowest opening and available turning space.
Inspect A Cooled, Isolated Vehicle
Prevent unintended engine movement and electrical operation. Wait for components to cool to the limits in the SVB308 manual before inserting the probe; a heat alarm is a protection event, not a working-temperature rating.
Protect The Probe And Main Unit
IP67 applies to the specified probe, not the screen or handle. Confirm permitted liquids and contact conditions separately; do not infer oil, fuel or solvent compatibility from the IP rating.
Withdraw Without Force
Use the steering control to return the tip to a position that can clear the entry path. Stop if resistance is felt; follow the model manual and vehicle procedure rather than pulling harder.
Keep The Inspection Evidence
Record the entry point, component, viewing direction and any areas you could not inspect. Use the vehicle procedure and supporting tests before making a repair decision.
Heat-Damage Replacement Cost
If high-temperature damage occurs, replacement of the snake tube / camera kit may require extra cost.
Replaceable Flexible Hose
The flexible hose is removable and can be replaced by unscrewing the screw near the AUTOOL logo.
Use Joystick for Bending
Do not force the camera probe by hand; use the joystick to control bending.
Avoid Prolonged Maximum Bend
Do not keep the joystick at maximum bending angle for a long time.
No Human or Animal Use
Do not use this device to inspect humans or animals.
Avoid Hazardous Environments
Do not use or store it in explosive, flammable, corrosive, or strong electromagnetic environments.
Inspection Results
Review Images with Location and Supporting Tests
Record the Visible Condition
Record the location and visible deposits, marks, liquid, or foreign material, then compare the image with the applicable service information.
Recheck Focus, Light And Direction
If the image is unclear, adjust target distance and brightness, clean the lens as instructed and compare another viewing angle. A reflection or shadow can resemble a defect.
Save the Inspection View
Save the original image or video with the component and viewing direction, and inspect additional angles where coverage is incomplete.
Choose The Next Test
Use OEM reference images and the applicable diagnostic procedure. Compression, leak-down, other measurements or disassembly may still be required when the picture is inconclusive.

FAQs
Detachable Probe and Recording Questions
What Is The Difference Between SVB305 And SVB308?
SVB305 has 210° two-way articulation and a 2000 mAh battery. SVB308 has 360° four-way articulation, a 6.2 mm probe, 2600 mAh battery, 10-language support, magnetic base, and detachable screen / handle design.
Is SVB308 Waterproof?
The camera probe is IP67 waterproof and oil-resistant for permitted wet-pipe inspection; keep the display, handle, and main unit dry. Confirm the liquid, contact time, and cleaning method before exposing the probe to oil, fuel, coolant, or solvent.
Can I Use SVB308 On A Hot Engine?
No. Wait until the engine and target area have cooled to the permitted operating conditions; engine temperatures may reach 80–100°C or higher after shutdown. Use the camera only within its stated -10°C to 50°C operating environment, and treat the 90°C protection value as an alarm or shutdown event rather than permission for continuous hot-engine inspection.
What Is The Safe Temperature Limit?
Use the camera only within its stated -10°C to 50°C operating environment, do not expose the flexible hose above 70°C, and avoid environments above 75°C. The 90°C value is a protection alarm or shutdown threshold rather than a continuous-use rating; wait until the engine and target area have cooled before inspection.
Can The Flexible Hose Be Replaced?
Yes. The flexible hose is removable. Unscrew the screw near the AUTOOL logo to replace it.
What Storage Card Does SVB308 Use?
The current specification lists a standard 32 GB TF card. Confirm the card included with the selected package before ordering.
What Is The Difference Between SVB403, SVB405, And SVB408?
SVB403 has two lenses and 210° bidirectional articulation. SVB405 and SVB408 are four-way 360° models. SVB405 has a 2-megapixel camera and 4.5-inch screen, while SVB408 has a thinner 3.9mm probe and four-way articulation.
What Is The Difference Between SVB302 And SVB303?
SVB302 is a phone / tablet compatible borescope model, while SVB303 is a four-way articulating borescope with a handheld structure and magnetic / detachable-style advantages. Compare steering angle, lens diameter, depth of field, language support, and device structure before ordering.
Can a picture confirm the cause of an engine fault?
Use the image to document the inspected location and compare visible conditions with the vehicle procedure, reference images, and any required supporting tests.
What should I check before choosing this probe?
Confirm the entry diameter, tip and cable path, turning space, target distance, temperature, likely liquid contact and whether you need front or side views. For connected models, also confirm your device, cable and software.
