NHBS Customer Case Study: SeeSnake Video Endoscope

ASW Ecology finds the SeeSnake Endoscope invaluable for bat surveys:

“The major advantage of the SeeSnake Endoscope is that it allows you to easily view the results of the investigation during use, without the need to place your eye flush to the eye piece – a problem with many other models. With older models, you can find yourself leaning more than you would like especially at height! The SeeSnake allows for a safer and more efficient investigation, and I have found this invaluable in my bat survey work.” – Andrew Waller, ASW Ecology 

SeeSnake Endoscope

How have you used the endoscope in your survey work?

I have been using the SeeSnake Endoscope for my bat assessment projects on trees and buildings as part of my ecological consultancy work.  As a Licensed Bat Consultant and Ecological Consultant, I am often asked to survey both buildings and trees for bat roost potential, and an endoscope is a crucial piece of kit that I use for this. The endoscope is used to investigate interesting cavities that may have roosting bats or evidence of this such as bat droppings. 
 

Would you recommend this to a colleague?

Yes, I would recommend this endoscope model, as it is easier to use and more effective than previous models I have used for my consultancy work.  The large digital view finder on the SeeSnake Endoscope is a major bonus, and allows for easy, clear viewing during the investigation of trees and buildings, and can be used to show colleagues the results of the assessment.  This endoscope is easy to use and compact to carry around in the case provided too. The length of the actual endoscope is perfect for exploring trees, whilst being long enough, but not too long and unwieldy to use, especially whilst using a ladder at the same time!  It is also easier to clean than other endoscope models I have used and more robust, which is useful when exploring cavities and crevices of all types and sizes.

How long have you been using the endoscope?

Since January 2009, and ever since this date, on trees, barns and buildings in general.
