Photometric Launch Monitor

A launch monitor technology that uses high-speed cameras (typically 2 to 4 of them) to capture images of the ball and club at the moment of impact. The cameras photograph the ball's position, spin, and velocity directly rather than inferring from radar data.

Photometric systems typically sit beside the ball (or above it, in ceiling-mounted configurations) and only need to see impact — they don't require ball flight space. This makes them well-suited to indoor and small-room setups where Doppler radar units don't have enough depth.

Photometric launch monitors in our catalog: Square Golf Omni, Garmin Approach R50, Bushnell Launch Pro, Foresight GC3, Foresight GCQuad, Uneekor EYE MINI Lite, Uneekor EYE XO2.
