5.5. Mirror Installation and Adjustment

The borescope comes with various side-view mirrors to inspect barrel walls. The probe has a fixed focal distance of approximately 10mm for direct viewing. When using a mirror, the focus is adjusted by how far the mirror is threaded onto the probe.

• For smaller caliber barrels (e.g., .22 caliber), position the mirror farther away from the lens.
• For larger caliber barrels (e.g., .30 caliber), move the mirror closer to the lens to achieve sharp focus.
• Use the small lock ring on the threads to secure the mirror in place once the desired focus is achieved.
