About
About SubC Imaging
SubC Imaging supplies imaging and recording hardware for subsea inspection and research systems. The Rayfin family includes Benthic 6000m, Coastal 500m, Micro 500m, Uplink 500m and Trench 11Km variants, while the wider catalogue adds 1Cam cameras, Aquorea lighting, MantaRay and Skate lasers, and DVR+ and Blackbox recording systems.
The products can be assembled into autonomous timelapse, tow-camera, drop-camera and observatory systems or used in remotely operated inspection workflows. The model names express different depth and operating envelopes; the camera, lights, laser, recording and communications configuration remains tied to the exact system and deployment.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-06-23 - Partnership - SubC Imaging and Ocean Robotics partner on ROV imaging integration
The integration covers SubC cameras, lights, lasers, video-recording systems and software. Ocean Robotics will install the stack on compact and observation-class ROVs. Target configurations include underwater inspection, monitoring and research.
Source - 2026-02-17 - Product Launch - SubC Imaging launches 11 km Rayfin Trench camera
The Rayfin Trench is rated to 11,000 metres and supports 4K and HD video capture in hadal environments. The system is designed for autonomous landers, AUVs, winch deployments and specialized deep-sea ROVs. Integrated recording, data logging and scheduled or timelapse capture support unattended scientific and exploration missions.
Source - 2025-04-30 - Partnership - STR becomes global rental partner for SubC Imaging
STR became the global rental channel for a selected range of SubC Imaging equipment. The rental portfolio includes Rayfin cameras, lasers, lights and DVR systems for offshore and subsea work. The agreement gives project teams access to SubC systems without purchasing equipment upfront and supports cross-hire arrangements.
