Datasheets - Rayfin Benthic 6000m

The Rayfin Benthic delivers on real-time inspections and surveys for ROV, AUV, drop systems, battery-powered time-lapse systems, and ocean observatories. It has many options, including video over HD-SDI or fiber optics. The Hibernation option enables timelapse photography with low-power consumption for months to a year of deployment. The Benthic is available in different models, with variants for alternative bulkhead configurations. For more information, see the Mk2 Benthic Spec Sheet.
