Key Tradeoffs
GC3S uses identical triscopic three-camera photometric hardware to the GC3 and is described as delivering the same tour-validated ball and club accuracy; the differences vs GC3 are commercial (subscription model, 1-yr vs 2-yr warranty, added Bushnell LINK rangefinder integration), not measurement…
Sensor Technology
3 (triscopic / three high-speed precision cameras) cam · 0 (no radar — photometric camera system)…

NONE for ball data. No marked balls, no metallic spin stickers, and no proprietary balls are required to capture ball flight and spin — standard golf balls work (confirmed by Carl's Place and official Foresight help docs). The club-face…
Mounting
Side — sits on the ground beside the ball (to the side of the hitting position), not behind and not overhead. Aligned to the ball using the included alignment stick. Right- or left-handed by repositioning the unit to the appropriate side (cannot be shared by righties and lefties without moving it).
