PLACEMENT
Side
Sits ~20 inches to target side of ball. No published room depth or ceiling specs from Foresight.
ENVIRONMENT
Both
indoor + outdoor
BALL REQUIREMENT
Any standard ball
3RD-PARTY SIM
Supported
FSX 2020 (required), FSX Play, E6 CONNECT, Creative Golf, Golfisimo supported. GSPro via OpenAPI only.
📋 The fine print
Discontinued and used-market only. Club data requires separate HMT add-on. FSX 2020 software required first. No recurring monitor subscription. Simulator software sold separately with varying costs. FSX 2020 required as base layer.

Key Tradeoffs
Commonly cited GC2 manual tolerances: Vertical Launch Angle ±0.2°, Ball Speed ±0.5 mph, Back Spin ±50 rpm, Side Spin ±50 rpm, Azimuth ±1.0°. Released 2010; long used as a tour-grade ball-data fitting tool, with camera-measured (not estimated) spin historically making it an indoor spin benchmark.…
Core Tech
Camera
Sensor Technology
2 in the GC2 unit (stereoscopic high-speed digital camera pair, plus a replaceable strobe/flash module). The optional HMT club-data accessory adds a second 2-camera stereoscopic pair (one camera near the top, one near the bottom of the HMT unit), for 4 cameras total in a GC2+HMT configuration. cam · 0 (no radar/Doppler — purely camera/photometric)…
Technology
Photometric stereoscopic dual-camera system (two high-speed digital cameras + strobe/flash module); NO radar/Doppler. Vendor materials state the cameras capture up to ~10,000 fps at impact to build a 3D model of ball (and, with HMT, club) at impact. The HMT club-data add-on uses
Ball Data
Ball data: ball speed, launch angle, azimuth, back spin, side spin, total spin, spin-tilt axis (measured) plus carry and total distance (calculated/derived). With HMT club data: club head speed, smash factor, horizontal/vertical club path, angle of attack, face angle, dynamic…
Club Data
Measured — but ONLY with the optional HMT add-on; the GC2 alone provides NO clubhead data, only ball data. HMT 1-dot configuration: club head speed, smash factor/efficiency, club path, angle of…
Sim Ready
Foresight FSX ecosystem plus several third-party titles. Officially supported: FSX 2020 (base software, required first), FSX Play, E6 CONNECT, Creative Golf, and Golfisimo. E6 CONNECT explicitly lists the GC2 as a supported launch monitor.

Device Reqs
Primarily PC software (Windows). Limited iPad use via Bluetooth (FSX Pro / Foresight App on iPad), but Bluetooth pairing is widely reported as unreliable. No onboard display. · USB and Bluetooth ONLY. No Wi-Fi, no Ethernet. (USB connects…
Subscription
No mandatory hardware/data subscription. The GC2 outputs data on its own LCD and over USB/Bluetooth at no recurring cost. Simulator software is a separate purchase/license: FSX 2020 (the base layer)…
Special Balls
None — no marked balls, no metallic spin stickers, no proprietary balls required for ball/spin data. Foresight explicitly states the GC2 needs no leveling, no calibration, and no marked balls; standard premium balls (Pro V1, TP5, Chrome…
Mounting
Portable / floor-standing to the side of the ball. Sits on its deployable foot stand on the same level hitting surface as the ball, positioned ~20 inches (≈50 cm) to the target side of the ball (slightly in front and off to the target side). Not overhead, not behind the ball. No tripod required…
