Mars2020 landing cameras Options

I am so enthusiastic about the (proposed) Mars2020 camera suite during EDL, as presented today at IPPW:
- 3 PointGrey Chameleon 3 that will be on the skycrane and look up, to monitor parachute deployment at 150 fps.
- 1 GoPro Hero 4 on the skycrane, looking down to monitor the rover descent and landing
- 1 GoPro Hero 4 on the rover, looking up to monitor the skycrane and fly-away
- 1 GoPro Hero 4 on the rover, looking down like MARDI did on Curiosity
- MARDI, of course.

All GoPro have microphone that will be activated, and have been tested successfully in the proper thermal and radiative environment. We should have some awsome footage if it actually flies.

Yes maybe. But it went through the clearance procedures in JPL up to a publication and presentation at a conference. Not a big deal, but... still an official publication toward the scientific/engineering community.
We may suspect those details have been discussed and considered not a show stopper so far. I cannot imagine JPL presenting fairytales in a project that will launch 4 years from now.
