Is the ET500 still available?
The ET500 has been discontinued. The current borescope lineup — ET17, ET18, and ET19 — offers smaller 5.5 mm camera diameters, HD resolution, and display-integrated or WiFi operation as modern replacements.
What replaces the ET500?
The ET17 is the closest current equivalent — standalone display, 10 ft cable, 5.5 mm camera, 720p resolution. The ET18 serves plumbing-specific applications with its armored cable. The ET19 adds dual-lens capability and WiFi for professional inspection workflows.
Can the ET500 still use the 69454 replacement camera?
Yes — the 69454 17 mm gooseneck camera is specified as compatible with the ET500 and ET510 for users who continue to operate these discontinued units. Verify connector compatibility before purchasing.
