The Apollo is a tablet-based video inspection camera for air ducts. A high-resolution camera head on a 10 m insertion cable feeds a 254 mm (10.1 inch) screen in real time, with LED lighting on the head and Air-Care’s own application handling capture and playback.
Its value is not only diagnostic. Footage before and after a clean is what settles arguments about whether work was needed and whether it was done. On commercial and strata jobs that record is often the difference between an invoice paid on time and an invoice queried, and it is the most effective way to show a customer what is actually inside their system.
Air-Care part FG0270.

- Compact camera head that reaches areas previously inaccessible.

Reach
The 10 m insertion cable is the working length for flexible entry. The extension rods are for pushing the head along straighter runs where the cable alone will not advance — ten rods at 750 mm each, so 7.5 m of additional rigid reach.
Air-Care’s earlier sell sheet stated a total extension of 762 metres for the ten rods. We raised it and they issued a corrected sheet on 21 August 2026. Ten rods of 0.75 m give 7.5 m of rigid reach.
Part numbers
| Apollo system, complete | FG0270 |
| Extension rod, single | SAO0376 |
| Extension rods, pack of 10 | SAO0390 |
Rods are consumable in practice — they are the part that gets lost, stood on or left in a ceiling. Ordering a spare pack with the system is sensible if the camera is going to be in constant use.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a camera to clean ducts?
No, but you need one to prove the condition before and after. Most disputes on duct work are about whether the system was dirty to begin with and whether it is clean now. Footage answers both without argument.
Will it reach the whole run?
10 m on the cable, plus 7.5 m using the rods where the run is straight enough to push. Long trunk lines without access doors will still need cut-ins, which in many jurisdictions require a licensed contractor.
Can I give the footage to the customer?
Yes. Recording to the tablet is the point of the system, and a short clip attached to a report is far more persuasive than a written description.
What does it work alongside?
Any duct cleaning method. It pairs naturally with the DuctMaster III for contact cleaning and with negative air work using the TurboMax III and a power brush.

From the workshop
Two small habits save a lot of grief with the Apollo: screw the rods together firmly without overtightening them, and check the recording actually saved before you pack the camera away. Air-Care call out both in the operating instructions. Finding out the clip is missing after the duct is closed up defeats half the reason for carrying the camera.
