About Foresight Sports
Foresight Sports is the best-known name in camera-based (photometric) launch monitors: high-speed cameras photograph the ball and club at impact rather than tracking flight downrange. Its GCQuad and GC3 are fixtures in fitting bays, and the same camera platform now spans from the portable GC3 to the ceiling-mounted Falcon.
Foresight Sports currently has 4 models in our database (4 currently available), pricing from $6,999 to $19,999, covering overhead / installed launch monitors and portable launch monitors.
