MLM2Pro Alignment: Magnetic Wall Mount! Perfect the Placement of your MLM2 eliminating mis-reads!

Ойындар

Discuss my magnetic mount, details of my Launch Monitor position in relation to both height and distance from LM to strike zone.
6.5 feet - MLM2 to beginning of hitting area
7.0 feet - MLM2 to Impact area Irons/Chipping
7.5 feel - MLM2 to Driver/Woods
9.5 - 10.5 feet from hitting spots to Net/Screen
MLM2 Stand - 5 7/8" Tall
MLM2 LM - 7 3/8" Tall
13 1/4" Total Height
My floor drops 1/4" due to grade and I have a 2" raised floor. SO, 2 1/4" + 13 1/4" puts the top of my MLM2Pro on my door at 15 1/2"

    If you don't have a magnetic door, or if you are worried about using magnets I think a velcro patch could work great for something like this. I plan to try that out on my garage door as well. Thank you for the video man - this is great!

    Love the comment! I actually started with Velcro but alignment was different every time as the velcrow didn’t attach square or steady each time. I have tested signal with and without magnets and can confirm it has zero effect for me on performance.

    Also, another great solution is using a threaded camera wall mount. Someone told me the bottom of the MLM accepts a treaded connection. They use this so the position is solid and never changes due to not having a metal door!

    @@trpl_bgy interesting. That’s a great idea. I’ll check out the magnets. I just got my unit a couple days ago and have been fiddling with the connection. My WiFi kind of sucks in the garage and will be using a WiFi extender to try and increase the signal. I don’t have a PC in the garage as it’s set up as a hybrid space (gym, retractable net, storage etc.)

I did think early on and thought I could insulate more between the magenta and the device by creatinf a magnetic mount of sorts or using a window mount for a phone or something. But this works really well at the moment and if stops I'll be 1st to report.

    Great Question: Rapsodo --> Plug to Power Rapsodo --> Direct Wifi connect to Tablet (only wifi connection in set up, between MLM and Tablet, no internet) Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite --> Plug to Computer (Screen Mirror USB) via Samsung Flow Samsung Flow (In my opinion) is best most stable screen mirror out there and native to the Samsung Tablet. Getting a samsung tablet for my set up changed everything. Eliminated need for internet and network connection which eleviated all the connection issues you hear people mention.

    can you do a video describing exactly how your android tablet is set up to communicate with your PC and running GSPRO? I have a decent gaming laptop already, but not a tablet. I am assuming if you are just using the tablet as a communication bridge that it doesn't need to be very powerful, since the PC running GSPRO is doing all the heavy lifting? It would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if you've covered this already.

    I gotta say, i wondered if i might see issues come up someday but 5 months of it being mounted this way and I have nearly no mis-reads at this point. They are not large magnets or very powerfull but not sure.. I have great home internet (fiber with google mesh 1 gig up and down) but when i connect through my home wireless mesh to the MLM i have issues. However, i found when i Direct connect i have nearly none. SO i have to believe my issues are related to how it communicates over the home network to the device. Routers, switches, firewalls, or something I believe does not like the way it passes data and my connection drops and blue lights stall out...

    How high above ball position can the lm be located and still pick up the ball? I am considering retrofitting my theater into a theater/golf sim and I currently have stadium seating. The rear section is 12" tall and that is where the LM would be positioned.

    Need the LM to be positioned level height to the hitting area. Can not have it above or below. So hitting area elevation is a zero point and LM needs to be at that same elevation equal to. In my case my hitting matt is raised and the LM sits behind me so i have to raise the LM the same amount my hitting matt raises my strike area. In your case a GC3, Bushnell Launch Pro, Uneekor Eye Mini, or any overhead unit would work better.

    So you don’t have your tablet to wifi, just do direct connect? When you play gspro, do you have your tablet connected to home wifi then? I guess you wouldn’t need it because the connector is just reading the data through screen share. So probably the only time you would HAVE to have it is to authenticate 3rd party like Awesome Golf.

    You are spot on! I FORGET my home network so it can't. Intentionally create a air gap there so the only network it knows is the MLM. Stops it from uploading videos while I play and has zero chances of searching out for Internet. I found it stabilized my connection. You are also right for third-party apps. You would need to have Internet. I don’t have cellular on this tablet so Direct connect would not work, I would have to use network connection for those.

    Thanks for the comment. It absolutely does in that it changes the hit area the camera is angled at and is the starting point for the shot. A unit below level surface with strike area will have a smaller hit box than a unit above. It will also be closer when unit is lower and further when unit is higher. It’s on a stand because if it sat on the ground the camera would need to point at a different angle amongst many other reasons.
