VisTrak Vcam Spin
Vertical launch and ball spin detection
3 camera system: Single overhead mounted camera (VisTrak Eagle)
plus dual vertical launch angle detection cameras with ball spin detection
The Vcam Spin is the same as a Vcam plus Spin cam but mounted in a carry case
It is used with the ceiling mounted VisTrak Eagle to detect vertical launch angle and ball spin rate.
System captures spin and LA for both LH and RH players without having to move the unit.

The advantage of using marked spin dot balls
The main advantage of using spin dot balls is that you don't have to bend down and adjust the ball
so that the ball logo or the applied metallic dot is facing in a certain direction.
BTW from what I gather, Trackman and Mevo systems do require you bend down and adjust the ball so that their metal dot
- that you are required to apply to the ball - is facing upwards or in the direction of play.
Another advantage is that you can visible see and thus verify the rate of rotation during the video swing playback with visible ball markings.
In contrast, you won't see this if the ball has no markings so you'd have to just believe that the measured ball spin rate is correct.
Spin axis tilt
The VcamSpin system also measures the spin axis tilt by detecting the center of rotation of the spin dot pattern
