The Trackman iO is Trackman's ceiling-mounted indoor unit, released in 2023 at $13,995 for the Home package. Radar-camera fusion measures ball and club data on any ball - no stickers or markers - over a roughly 24 x 16 inch tee area, from a professionally installed mount that works under ceilings from about 9.3 feet. Software is subscription-based: the first year is included, then $700 a year on Home or $1,100 on Home Complete, and the $13,995 package reports only club speed from the club data set - full club data requires the $23,495 Home Complete hardware. There is no official GSPro support. Like all Trackman hardware, it is sold through dealer and quote channels rather than retail checkout.
