These are either mounted port (PRT) or starboard (STBD) facing forward (FWD) Two cameras (ARM, mounted on the baited arm of the lander and MAIN, mounted in the centre of the lander facing the baited arm of the lander) are mounted on a lander frame (~1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 m in size) and powered with internal storage on an SD card. When the cameras are powered up, the cameras begin recording and record ~5 min HD videos. Each deployment has ~6 hours of seafloor footage.
