Police are asking anyone with video footage and images of the slip at Mt Maunganui to upload it via an online portal.

They are particularly interested in anyone who has footage or images of the campsite and Mount Maunganui between Wednesday night right through to the time the slip happened and the immediate time after the slip.

The request came as one of the victims of the deadly landslide was formally identified as Max Furse-Kee.

At an identification hearing at Tauranga District Court on Wednesday, deputy chief coroner Brigitte Windley formally identified the teen.

Senior Constable Robert Stokes told the court his body was found on Monday, and forensic dental examination has determined his identity.

Max Furse-Kee would have turned 16 today.
