Specifications

Core Technology
Core Tech TypeCamera
Technology DetailPhotometric 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.
Performance Data
Ball DataBall data: ball speed, launch angle, azimuth, back spin, side spin, total spin, spin-tilt axis (measured) plus carry and total distance (calculated/derived).
Club DataMeasured, but ONLY with the optional HMT add-on; the GC2 alone provides NO clubhead data, only ball data.
Compatibility
Sim Readiness and Software IncludedForesight 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 / PC ReqsPrimarily 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.
Subscription CostNo mandatory hardware/data subscription. The GC2 outputs data on its own LCD and over USB/Bluetooth at no recurring cost.
Special Balls/MarkersNone, no marked balls, no metallic spin stickers, no proprietary balls required for ball/spin data.
