9hz for the Torrey Pines, and any observational thermal, is adequate. It's not gucci high speed low drag tier stuff, but it detects stuff and gets the job done. Even panning at a reasonable speed is fine. I was sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a 9hz imager, looking out the window while driving at 80km/hr, and could still
"see" fine.

If we are talking military grade that needs silky smooth panning, snapping to and from targets at high speed - 30hz still isn't even enough. 60hz is where it's at.
Because the TP unit is so small and limited in use, I legitimately don't even really even notice the frame rate is at 9hz. The 9hz is not what makes this thing crap,
it's everything else about it. The upside is the ability to import it in the first place as well as the ability to legally bring it in and out of the USA without worry of paperwork boogie men.
