The Foresight Sports GCQuad is a portable four-camera photometric launch monitor, sold since 2017 and currently $15,999 with no subscription. It measures ball launch and the full club-delivery picture - face angle, impact location and dynamic loft - using fiducial dots on the clubface, over an 18 x 14 inch hitting zone versus 7 x 10 on the GC3. The FSX software suite with 25 courses ships in the box, GSPro support is official, and a lifetime Awesome Golf membership is bundled. It sells through Foresight and specialty golf dealers, typically as a consultative purchase rather than a cart checkout.
