Cameras and lights positioning system for hose inspection during air-to-air refueling, which comprises a substructure that can be attached to a container or capsule or Pod, one or two guidance-substructures (13) that enclose the hose, a toroid volume, to house the cameras (22) and lights (23) and a cameras and lights control subsystem. The system allows for the cameras (22) and lights (23) to maintain a fixed relative position with respect to the hose (1) during moments of imagery acquisition, despite the inclination and the five different movements that the hose has and makes, at the same time allowing protuberances (38) to pass through the system.
