Could a phone not do similar? 60 FPS is not unheard of or anything. I’m a huge fan of specific items I’m just trying to see where this fits

Absolutely could do the same but I like the ease of this device as a semi-permanent practice tool indoors. The old set it and forget it - the mirroring on the iPad / marking up an image is a value add for sure. The $400 dollar question is whether it is enough value add to justify purchasing.
Gotcha. I’m looking forward to Dan’s feedback because there are so many cameras available now that offer 60 FPS that have even have larger sensors.
I'm my professional opinion, 60fps is not nearly enough.
There is no way to clearly capture something like face angle at impact with 60fps. It's just be a blurry mess.
To parrot @JB, most high end phones can shoot 120 or 240fps, so why not use a phone? Screen mirroring is very easy, and with an app like V1 you can get all of the self- analysis you need.
I'm curious to hear Dan's take.

I’m aware of that, but keep in mind that this is for the most part swing diagnosis. 60FPS should be find in that arena.
I love the excitement for this one!!
Today is very busy for me, but I am going to try and get the maiden voyage on the range tomorrow evening, and will report what I find. Hopefully one of the guys can help a bit with screen caps and see if we can manipulate some of the teaching elements of the product while we go.
Like others, the 60fps doesn't get me that excited, but more specifically I am excited about the real time visual support it should provide. Especially when I am talking to others about their swing, it would be so much easier for them to see it happening (because seeing is believing most of the time in golf).
So, I stole some time on the range with this tonight... I don't suppose anyone's interested in hearing my thoughts?
Hmm this is interesting. I like the idea of the instant feedback. I feel like I could set up something like this with my phone, a roku and a monitor/small tv, if not just mirror from the phone to a tablet. Maybe over simplifying it. I am interested in seeing how this works out for you longer term.
Yeah, but you'd still need the added features of the software, like the line drawing that doesn't persist, and can be removed at any time.
It seems so simple, but I don't think it really is.
Yeah, maybe so. Was thinking could use an app I've used before for that. I assume you need someone with you to draw the lines correct? It's interesting for sure. Like I said, holding judgement to hear more. Just got me thinking is all.
Great write up so far, Dano. I bet we can swap that crappy camera out for something a little fancier (I know I've got a screwdriver around here somewhere.)
I bet this combined with a pro-sumer launch monitor will make worlds of difference for those DIYers looking to improve their games. To be able to see your swing and then the results of changes instantly would be amazing.
Imagine something like this combined with an SC200 built into on tripod like platform...

The problem with those tools, is placement. Someone could make it work, but at that point it might be easier to have separate devices altogether.
True. I was envisioning some sort of stick that would have the radar at the bottom and the camera near the top. Then, in theory, all you'd need to do would be to set it on the target line at the correct distance.
No need for the display on the radar if it can send the info to the monitor.

Right, I gotcha there. My thought was that some of those prosumer devices would have to be at a different place behind the golfer than the camera.
