For some strange reason when I started using a longer (third party) usb lead with the SkyTrak in my new setup, the Full Metal Jacket seemed to confuse the SkyTrak - the green light wouldn’t stay on and it kept flicking between red and green. But without the full metal jacket it works perfect fine. Weird 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@hcpgolf Interesting. Im on the fence between a refurb skytrak for $700 or a heavily used gc2 for about double that. Im not a good golfer, 25 hcp. However, I am obsessed lol. One thing I love about skytrak is the ranger interface. Do you use that a lot or you just use the range in gs pro? Does GS pro show swing speed or just ball speed? Did you ever try a gc2?

That's great to see for the meantime you're still using the OG Skytrak. That makes me feel better about my decision to purchase it for $995 USD brand new for my first SIM I am currently building. I wanted something better than a radar unit but didn't want to spend too much considering it's my first SIM, so I found OG Skytrak price to be quite nice for it's accuracy and not having to take up so much space. However, I don't have a PC and will be using iPad 10th generation that I will connect to a 4k projector via AV adapter cable. Do you have any experience using OG Skytrak with an iPad or any advice/info on what I should expect with using iPad instead of a PC? I do know that the only 3rd party app I will be able to use for the time being is E6. I did hear Skytrak will be releasing iPad software in September maybe, just hoping an iPad 10th gen will be able to run it.
@hcpgolf
@hcpgolf 4 күн бұрын
You’ve pretty much nailed it mate - you’ll only be able to use E6 if you want to play courses. I’d recommend getting skytraks game improvement package as that will entertain you whilst you can’t play courses (it is great). I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the OG SkyTrak for your first sim/launch monitor. I’ve had it for over 4 years now and still going with it simply because I still haven’t decided what to upgrade to yet 😂

@@hcpgolf I totally missed that! I am using the Mevo+ with 13 feet in front of the ball and the unit mounted 8’ behind that. They call this distance their “standard installation” where there is more ball flight captured via Doppler and also the camera system. I may decide to get the club data and add that as well as I give golf lessons. I like your videos on how you created your first home simulator on a budget but you got good parts where it really mattered, the numbers. The SkyTrack works really good in tighter spaces but I just did not want any subscription fees, which is why I got the lifetime license when it was available for GSPro on the Mevo+. And I did a custom studio type enclosure only in 4:3 ratio HD. Short throw BenQ 0.52:1 throw. Mounts 5.5’ from the screen to fill my 10’ wide premium screen. Not sure if you have enough room depth in your newer rented space for a ‘baby trackman’ as one fellow put it. Although I would never expect that accuracy from the Mevo+, it is plenty good for a scratch golfer like myself.

I had a Skytrak+, it was good but I found the GSPRO community connector wasn't 100% great and I got frustrated so I sold the skytak+ and bought a Eye mini lite. So far it's brilliant ! No issues, connection to GSPRO is seamless and shots are instant. I use it outside in the garden hitting off a mat when weather is permitting with no issues. I do miss Skytrak+ portability when in the garden but I would rather have reliability. I did think should I just go for the Eye mini, but the cost difference is too great.

Fun fact - When the Eye Mini first launched it came with face-to-path data, but that metric got removed by an update not long after launch. I've been an Eye Mini owner for almost 1 year and after the firmware updates of the last 3 months I'm extremely happy with the device. There were some spin axis issues that are now resolved. If the budget can extend, I'd definitely pay the additional for the full fat Eye Mini vs the Mini Lite.... You not only get the battery portability from the Mini, but also the screen with multiple data points which makes it much easier to fault find when shot data stops going through to GSPro.

I just decided to purchase the OG Skytrak today for 995 USD for my first home sim. for my budget, seems to be the safest bet and I really only care about using the range feature for practice and dialing in distances as opposed to sim play rounds and worrying about club data. Your videos have been a big help in my deciding and knowing even though it's older, it's still a solid purchase. Space is also a slight concern, my room is 11 feet wide by 17 feet long, how many feet away do you typically hit from the screen with OG Skytrak? I was originally going to get the R10 but I just couldn't accommodate that much space for behind the ball and to the screen, plus Skytrak seems more accurate anyway, for just a few hundred more.

The VX's club data (path and face angle) is currently not the most accurate I am led to believe, but this could hopefully improve over time with upgrades.
