Why do the 9Hz models cost more than the 30Hz models?
FLIR H-Series NTSC 9Hz models actually cost more than the NTSC 30Hz models. The reason it is a higher price is that FLIR is required to normalize their prices with their FLIR Europe division; since their slow frame rate cameras are higher, FLIR North America needs to follow suit. However, they are not required to do this on 30hz cameras. And If they were lower priced on slow frame rate units, the rest of the world would buy in North America and avoid buying them in their country.
