GSA Advanced Golf Simulators: Cameras

The world's first truly affordable hi-speed camera club and ball tracking system

Note that this feature is unique to only GSA Golf systems. No other golf simulators on the market can provide this.

With all other golf simulator systems on the market, the player is forced to take the manufacturer's word that the data captured is correct.

There is no way for the player to verify that their measurements are in anyway correct.

* Note that the free E6 Connect 18 hole course and driving range is a max 1 year trial only

All CX and CTS camera systems run with all these golf course software versions

Note that all GSA Golf systems are completely modular - start with just 1 camera or sensor mat and add more cameras and features as and when requirement or budget allows.

CX2 detects ball launch angle, ball path, ball speed, fades, draws, hooks and slices

The CX2 can be setup as Vertical and Horizontal camera system or as a Stereoscopic system

Add the VisTrak high speed camera to the CX2 for club tracking with video playback from just $1,899

The comprehensive GSA Golf Control Panel allows the user to adjust all camera and shot settings

The CX3 can be setup as Vertical and Horizontal camera system or as a Stereoscopic system

CX3 cameras include : V Cam for ball Vertical launch - H Cam for Horizontal ball path with line scan camera trigger -

Note that camera club tracking systems require the supplied tracking dots or white strips to be applied to the clubs

The CX3 uses a club tracking camera that - like the GC2 HMT and the GC Quad - requires club tracking dots to be applied to the clubs

which is the same as the CX3 but uses optical sensor club tracking mats that don't require tracking dots.

You can also just add the new high speed VisTrak camera that measures club data and provides video playback features.

The CX4 includes all the above mentioned CX3 features plus the addition of 4th camera that measures

The CX4 uses a club tracking camera that - like the GC2 HMT and the GC Quad from Foresight Sports - requires club tracking dots to be applied to the clubs

which is the same as the CX3 but uses optical sensor club tracking mats that don't require tracking dots.

You can also just add the new high speed VisTrak camera that measures club data and provides video playback features.

The CX3 and CX4 uses a club tracking camera that - like ForesightSports GC2 HMT and the GC Quad - requires club tracking dots to be applied to the clubs

which is the same as the CX3 but uses optical sensor club tracking mats that don't require tracking dots.

The VisTrack Surround adds the VisTrak high speed video camera to the CX2 Surround

for video play back club tracking (club path, speed and face angle) plus ball spin and spin axis

The VisTrack system uses high speed cameras to capture club face angle, club speed,

Advantages of camera systems compared to low priced optical sensor pads

Thinking of purchasing one of those low priced optical club tracking sensor pads on the market?

Here is a short list of the main disadvantages
Those low cost sensor pads on the market do not see the ball at all so cannot possible calculate any realistic ball flight.
All ball data from launch angle, speed and direction to ball spin are only - at best - estimated and are mostly way off.
In fact, the all important ball launch angle is just fixed from the loft angle of the club you or the system has selected and bares no relation to reality what so ever.
No matter if you strike the ball on the down swing or upswing - or even top the ball so that is just rolls along the ground - you'll always get a perfect launch angled shot.
You can even just kick the ball with your foot and you'll still get a perfect launch angle.
Likewise, realistic ball direction or ball speed cannot be obtained by just looking at the club direction and speed.
In addition - and in contrast to GSA Golf camera systems that provide photographic evidence of all data - there's no way for the user to verify any of the data produced
by these low cost optical pads.
You are forced to ether just take the manufacturer's word for it and/or believe a paid golf professionals endorsement who would probably say anything
if they are given enough money.
So buyer beware, low cost optical sensor pads are essentially just play station toys compared to true camera tracking systems.
