Luckily some new smartphones have got great slow-motion cameras which can record 960fps @720p (Samsung S9/S10) or even @1080p (so far only Sony XZ2). You can get some of these phones used for less than $400. Disadvantages are that recording is limited to bursts of approximately 0.4 seconds and a lot of lighting is required to get good shots. There also is no option to further increase the framerate by decreasing resolution.

I don't think it would actually save much money. He's had to pretty extensively modify it... you could conceivably re use the case and charging board but that's about it; the sensor board and compute board are new. Not much of a savings I expect. Maybe it is possible to adapt the connection of the older compute board and the new sensor board but I expect this, while probably plenty possible, is still not trivial, especially in the very limited space. Perhaps he could produce a new sensor board that uses the old connector (for upgrades) - this would be more realistic, but also adds production cost sooo yeah.
