About FlightScope
FlightScope has built Doppler-radar tracking since 1989, when South African engineer Henri Johnson began applying radar techniques to sport. Its consumer Mevo line brought that radar heritage to accessible prices — the newer units add cameras for fusion tracking — while the X3C serves the professional end.
FlightScope currently has 4 models in our database (2 currently available), pricing from $499 to $12,745, covering portable launch monitors.
