We begin by preparing our camera and stabilizers for scanning, adjusting them for controlled movement without excess looseness. Cables are secured, lights checked, and the SD card reader set. Once the camera is lowered, we observe the chimney’s interior, noting clean liners and structural offsets. At the base, we rotate to inspect the clean-out door and detect reversed liners requiring attention. We analyze for defects, distinguishing scratches from cracks by continuity and shadow. Finding no cracks, we complete the scan, clean the lens, and use a dark towel to reduce glare. With all gear secured, we conclude the inspection and encourage best practices for safe, precise chimney scans.
