Tero Vido

Tero Vido builds German-engineered 3D ground-scanning detectors: systems that image what's beneath the surface and reach the deep targets a conventional coil can't. Developed and manufactured in Germany and used by treasure hunters worldwide, the lineup spans the TVPI pulse-induction series, the easy-to-run Expander systems, and the Tero Vido 3D System. This is the full Tero Vido range; comparing 3D scanners across brands? See our 3D ground scanners collection. As an authorized dealer, every Tero Vido ships genuine, and orders of $99 or more ship free in the lower 48.

The Tero Vido Lineup

Tero Vido organizes its range into three families. The TVPI (Tero Vido Pulse Induction) series is the core pulse-induction 3D system, scaling by capability across editions: the TVPI Standard is the entry into the platform, and the TVPI Premium Edition sits at the top with the fullest feature set (the mid TVPI Pro Edition rounds out the series). The Expander and Expander Gold are built around ease of use for hunters who want capable 3D scanning without a steep setup, and the 3D System Basic is the base package of the Tero Vido 3D System, a 3D measuring system for locating metal and underground voids, with depths of up to 18 m on large objects. See each product page for full specs.

What Tero Vido 3D Scanners Do

Like other ground-imaging systems, Tero Vido scanners aren't coin-shooters: they're built to locate and visualize large, deep targets, caches, and underground anomalies that ordinary detectors miss. You scan an area and the system renders the data into a 3D representation so you can judge a target's position and depth before digging. The pulse-induction basis of the TVPI line uses special filters and circuitry that suppress electrical interference. If you're after coins, jewelry, and relics near the surface, a conventional machine from our metal detectors range is the right tool; the Tero Vido systems are for deep, image-based searching.

Tero Vido & Other 3D Ground Scanners

Tero Vido sits alongside OKM in the professional 3D ground-scanning space, and both are serious, higher-investment imaging systems rather than everyday detectors. If you're weighing brands, compare the Tero Vido range against the OKM line and the rest of our 3D ground scanners, and reach out if you'd like help matching a system to your targets, depth needs, and budget.

Why Buy Tero Vido from Serious Detecting

These are serious, high-investment instruments, so it matters who you buy from. We're an authorized dealer for genuine Tero Vido equipment (see all the brands we carry) with full manufacturer support, and we carry the wider 3D ground-scanning field, so we can help you compare Tero Vido against OKM and choose the right system rather than just sell you a box. Orders ship free in the lower 48, local pickup is available out of Michigan, and thousands of verified buyers have rated us 4.9 stars in our reviews. Tell us what you're hunting and how deep, and we'll match the system.

What is a Tero Vido detector?

A Tero Vido detector is a 3D ground-scanning system from Tero Vido GmbH, developed and manufactured in Germany, that images buried objects, caches, voids and other anomalies to show their position and depth rather than just signaling over small surface targets. The TVPI series uses pulse induction with 3D visualization, while the Expander systems and the Tero Vido 3D System use 3-axis digital sensors with Tero Vido's own 3D software. They are built for serious, deep treasure hunting, and you can compare them with OKM and other brands in our 3D ground scanners range.

What does TVPI mean?

TVPI means Tero Vido Pulse Induction, short for the Tero Vido pulse induction system with 3D visualization, the brand's core pulse induction 3D platform. It comes in Standard, Pro and Premium editions that scale up in capability: the TVPI Standard includes a 40 cm frame coil, the Pro Edition adds a 90 x 90 cm frame coil, and the Premium Edition adds a 90 x 190 cm frame coil on top of those. All three include the 3D software app for iOS, Android and Windows.

Which Tero Vido system should I choose?

Which Tero Vido system you should choose depends on your budget, your targets and how much capability you want. The TVPI Standard is the entry into the TVPI line, and the Pro and Premium Editions add larger frame coils for covering more ground. The Expander and Expander Gold are built around ease of use, running from a tablet with an extendable probe, and the 3D System Basic is Tero Vido's 3D measuring system for locating metal and underground voids. Tell us your targets and depth goals through our contact page and we'll help you choose, or compare other brands in our 3D ground scanners range.

Will a Tero Vido detector find coins?

A Tero Vido detector is not designed to find coins or other small surface targets. Like other 3D ground scanners, it's built for large, deep targets, cache locating and underground anomalies rather than coin shooting. For coins, jewelry and relics near the surface, use a conventional machine from our metal detectors range, and add a Tero Vido for deep, image-based searching.

Where can I get Tero Vido manuals?

You can get the Tero Vido Expander and Tero Vido 3D System instruction manuals right here in this collection as free digital downloads, handy for owners learning the system or setting up a scan. Once you check out, the files download from your confirmation page, your confirmation email or your account. If you need help with a manual, contact us.
