Looking for a Milwaukee Drain Camera?
Razorback Drain Pros no longer stocks Milwaukee drain camera and pipeline inspection systems.
If you’ve landed here while searching for a Milwaukee drain camera, inspection reel, pipeline camera, or locator, we can still help you find a suitable alternative for professional plumbing and drain inspection work.
Our current Razorback drain camera range is designed for New Zealand plumbers and drainlayers, with options for everyday maintenance, larger pipe inspections, compact applications, camera-and-locator setups, and complete professional camera packs.
Why Consider a Razorback Drain Camera Alternative?
When comparing professional drain inspection systems, the right option depends on the type of plumbing work you do, the pipe sizes you regularly inspect, and the level of flexibility you need from your equipment.
Razorback offers a dedicated range built around practical everyday use, replaceable components, and access to spare parts.
Our current drain camera range includes:
- Multiple camera head sizes for different pipe diameters
- Complete drain camera packs for different levels of use
- Interchangeable components across most Razorback systems
- Replacement camera heads, cables, and spare parts
- Camera systems with built-in 512Hz sondes
- Locator options for sonde locating
- NZ-wide shipping
- Financing options available
- 12-month factory warranty on all parts
- An additional 12 months on the Control Box when purchased directly from Razorback
Razorback NZ also stocks spare parts locally, helping reduce delays when equipment requires replacement components or upgrades.
Most Razorback camera heads, cables, and spare parts are designed to work across compatible Razorback systems. The Big Unit 39mm Drain Camera uses a different configuration, so compatibility should always be checked before ordering replacement components.
Recommended Razorback Alternatives to Milwaukee Drain Cameras
The Monster 21mm Drain Camera
Best for: Everyday maintenance plumbing and general drain inspection work
The Monster uses a 21mm HD camera system and is designed for inspections in approximately 90mm–150mm pipes.
It is a practical option for plumbers who need a professional camera for routine maintenance, blocked drain investigations, and general CCTV drain inspections without stepping up to a larger dual-camera system.
The Beast 29mm Drain Camera
Best for: Larger pipe inspections and sewer applications
The Beast uses a larger 29mm HD camera head and is designed for bigger drainage and sewer lines.
It is better suited to plumbers and drainlayers who regularly inspect larger-diameter pipes and need a more substantial camera system for those jobs.
Bull Frog 4K Waterproof Drain Camera with Wi-Fi
Best for: Plumbers who want a waterproof inspection system with 4K recording and Wi-Fi connectivity
The Bull Frog Drain Camera is a waterproof professional inspection system with 4K recording, a 45m push rod, interchangeable camera head options, a 13.3-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi connectivity, self-levelling camera heads, and a built-in 512Hz sonde.
It is a strong option for plumbers who want a modern drain camera with flexible inspection options and convenient footage transfer to a mobile device.
The Boar 21mm Drain Camera
Best for: Regular trade use and everyday maintenance inspections
The Boar is another 21mm system designed for approximately 90mm–150mm pipes, but with a more trade-focused setup for plumbers using their camera regularly.
It includes features such as a wheeled frame, trolley handle, and dual battery system, making it a practical option for frequent on-site use.
The Double P Dual Drain Camera
Best for: Plumbers who need flexibility across smaller and standard pipe sizes
The Double P combines a 12.8mm 780P CMOS HD camera head with built-in 512Hz sonde, a 21mm HD 1080P self-levelling camera head with built-in 512Hz sonde, a 40m × 4.8mm push rod, and a 50m × 6.8mm push rod.
It is designed for approximately 25mm–150mm pipes, making it a strong option for plumbers who work across both small internal drainage and standard sewer lines. The Double P is especially useful where one camera size is not enough to cover the range of inspection work you regularly carry out.

If locating the camera head underground is important to your work, Razorback also offers professional locating equipment.

It can help determine the underground position of the camera head when investigating blockages, damaged pipe sections, and potential excavation points.
Razorback NZ currently stocks the RIDGID NaviTrack Scout Locator as part of its locator range.
Razorback vs Milwaukee: What Should Plumbers Consider?
When comparing professional drain camera systems, the best choice depends on how you work rather than the brand name alone.
Consider the following before choosing a system.
Pipe Size
Choose a camera head and push rod combination that suits the pipe diameters you inspect most often. A small camera can be useful for tight internal waste lines, while larger heads are generally better suited to sewer and larger drainage applications.
Camera Head Options
If your work covers a wide range of pipe sizes, consider whether a system with multiple camera heads would be more practical than relying on one camera for every job.
Push Rod Size and Length
Different pipe sizes and bends may require different push rod diameters. Systems such as The Double P provide both a thinner 4.8mm push rod and a larger 6.8mm push rod for different inspection conditions.
Repairability
Razorback systems are designed around replaceable components, helping reduce the need to replace an entire camera system if one part needs attention.
Spare Parts Availability
Razorback NZ stocks a range of replacement components, including: Camera Head Parts, Springs, Skids, Connection Cables, Power Supplies, Screens, Push Rod Components and Other replacement parts. Local access to parts can help reduce delays when equipment needs servicing or repair.
Locator Requirements
If your work requires locating the camera underground, choose a camera with a built-in sonde and pair it with compatible locating equipment. Many Razorback camera systems offer 512Hz sonde capability.
Recording Requirements
If you regularly provide CCTV reports or footage to customers, consider whether you need recording features such as USB or SD card storage.
Support and Warranty
Consider access to warranty support, replacement parts, and technical assistance as well as the upfront purchase price. Razorback NZ currently provides a 12-month factory warranty on all parts plus an additional 12 months on the Control Box when purchased directly.
Built for New Zealand Plumbers and Drainlayers
Razorback drain cameras are designed around the practical needs of professional plumbing and drainage work in New Zealand.
The range focuses on equipment that is:
- Rugged
- Practical
- Repairable
- Upgradeable
- Suitable for regular trade use

Razorback NZ also promotes local support and stocks replacement components within New Zealand.
Spare Parts, Camera Heads and Cables
One of the advantages of the Razorback system is access to replacement and upgrade components.

Current systems include camera sizes such as:
- 12.8mm
- 21mm
- 29mm
- 39mm
Always check compatibility with your existing Razorback system before ordering a replacement or upgrade.
Camera Cables and Push Rods
Razorback systems use different push rod diameters and lengths depending on the camera configuration.
Examples include:
- 40m × 4.8mm push rods for smaller camera systems
- 50m × 6.8mm push rods for standard drain camera systems
Replacement cable components and compatible parts are available through Razorback NZ.
