Multi-aperture camera system for inspections

A camera head for facilitating a visual inspection, the camera head comprising:

• an enclosure containing:
• a camera module;
• a plurality of lights for illuminating an area for the camera module;
• a high-speed data interface;
• a heatsink component;
• an interface board including a computer module, wherein the interface board is in communication with the camera module, the plurality of lights, and the high-speed data interface;
• and
• a compression stack, wherein the camera module, the interface board, the heatsink component, and the plurality of lights are mechanically interfaced only with compression;
• and
• a gimbal connector, wherein the gimbal connecter passes through the enclosure and is in thermal contact with the heatsink component.

A system for facilitating a visual inspection, the system comprising:

• a pole, the pole being extendable and having a distal end and a proximal end;
• a handle on the proximal end of the pole, the handle including a grip and an arm support, wherein the grip extends at an angle outwardly from the pole;
• and
• a camera head in an enclosure and pivotably attached to the distal end of the pole, the camera head including:
• a camera module;
• a heat sink extending through the enclosure;
• a compression stack;
• a light positioned to illuminate areas in view of the camera module;
• and
• an interface board, wherein the camera module, the interface board, the light, and the heat sink are mechanically interfaced only by compression within the enclosure.
