Another banger video! Thank you. This is really helpful.
TY! Glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks man. Would love a video about your sim set up! My hitting mat sets on top of my turf so it’s not the best for putting. Looking to move more in your direction this spring.
Coming soon!
Setting this up later this week! The reverse logo on your top is doing my head in- logo of camera flip 🙂
Great video. Got it all set up and works great. Only issue is when I choose putter on gspro the putting Windows doesn’t come to the top screen. It’s open but doesn’t pop up. Any suggestions? Thanks
Webcames only need USB 2.0, the issue with length you were having can be solved with a "Active" USB extension cable. you can easilly go 30+ ft with an active cable in the mix.
or a powered USB hub in between the PC and the Webcam to help trasfer more power / increase stability.
I have my webcam about ~40 ft of cable from my pc, i do USB active cable to USB power hub in my basement, thats 25 ft of cable. then a usb extension that is 10ft + the webcam cable.
works flawlessly.
Never thought of this! Just looked up "active cable" Thank you for comment and info!
the putting on my mevo plus works pretty well. Will this make it that much better?
Very impressed with your entire setup. I appreciate the detail that you have put in your videos. Slightly off-topic question. I notice you gave a lot of specs for other items, computer, sim, all things golf related....I'd love to duplicate your desk setup. Can you provide me with the manufacturer or where you may have purchased your desk and cabinet accessories? Thanks for your time!!
What is the putting line overhead from? I dont see it in the description
Thanks for all you are doing to support this connector! I am setting up my connector and having a very difficult time finding the exe file on my box for Airplay. It is in my WindowsApps folder and I don’t have permission to view it even know I am the admin. Do you have any tips for finding this for Airplay? I recall you saying it wasn’t that easy for you to find. Thanks for all you are doing! Cheers
Love this! Building a new sim now (moving from a garage setup) and would love to incorporate this into my sim. I have the mevo+, you mention that it works with it and GSPro. Does it just override the mevo+ when a putter is selected as the club? Thanks!
Yes, You have to set it up as a mirror and do ROI’s. There are some discussions on GitHub which might explain it all in more detail and how others have done it! Since I don't have one.... I know there are some things to do like gspro license change to API and then there is also something to do with chipping... It is best that I point you to the discussions to see what limitations there are and how to set it up. github.com/springbok/MLM2PRO-GSPro-Connector/discussions
If you look a few comments down there are others who have gotten it to work on the Mevo+ so I know it does. I wish I had a Mevo+ for a week so I could make a video on how to!
Huge fan of your page. It has helped me a lot setting up my first golf sim. You mentioned you can mount the web cam to the wall... how exactly would that work since the camera has a side view and not above view? Would following the setup in your video work just as well?
Thank you for the comment, compliment, and question. Glad it has helped.
If mount to wall you need to relocate over to the wall to putt.. that was what I didn’t love about it but it does work well. I mount overhead so I can put where I hit from.
I have a Garmin R10 running GS Pro, with no issue. My webcam is cable connected. Unfortunately the software i've download only seems to recognize my laptop cam. Do you have a link to support a cable connection?
Nice video again. I have my camera set up from my ceiling also and putt pretty much just to the side of my hitting area so I putt of smooth turf not worn out by my iron shots. I had it attached to my projector for a while but the projector was a bit old and a lamp projector so the fan made vibrations that affected the webcam image stability. I got a new BenQ 4k projector but it's still a lamp projector because I just can't afford a 4k laser projector. You obviously haven't had any problems with vibration from your projector. Do you think the height of the webcam influences the accuracy of the putting app? I have been trying to keep it at around 8ft but if even higher isn't a problem that will solve some issues for me. Thanks
No vibration issues for me. I have it mounted to one of the arms on the ceiling mount. Lower height would in theory get better light but if you can still dial in tracking from higher it should function just as well. I like your idea of having smooth turf to put on! I may need to think up a way to integrate for myself!
I have mine on tripod at the moment. But I think I'll try to mount it off my projector like yours
Give it a try! I love having mine overhead but it took a bit of playing around to get it right where I wanted!
Any chance you know how to solve the issue of my exposure being reset every time the putting comes up? Says it’s on “5” or whatever and then I have to go back into settings and hit 4 then back to 5 and it looks normal as though it was never actually on 5.
What is the model of the webcam, does it need any special webcam for this function?
I have a couple in the description that I use. Just needs to handle color in low light well. But most all webcams over 30fps can work depending on your lighting situation
Have the full swing kit. Does E6 have the same type of putting settings as Gs pro. This would solve many issues.
I'm unsure on E6. I don't have it but from what I know I don't know of a connector built to work with E6 for the MLM2Pro so I haven't explored it much. Many connectors built for GSPro API. I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled for you.
Your videos are great man. How do you do this for mevo plus
I'd be interested in figuring out how to set this up with a Mevo+ as well. I just wouldn't know how to start configuration for that.

Takes a bit of work but it can be done on Mevo . I have it up and running
Yeah. I've got the webcam up and running... still working on it. Keep getting an error.
Hi - which hitting strip and turf did you install? I want to change mine out as it's maybe too soft and slowing down ball/clubs speeds when I skin it .
Just put out a flooring video for you here!
How do find the springbok connector for accuracy on yhe MlmPro2. There seams to be some issues with it when set up for Mevo+. The offline deviation on the GS pro is way off what the FS Golf app reads
The connector sends the numbers exactly as they are sent in the Rapsodo software, so in that sense, the connector works perfectly. However, GSpro has its own flight algorithms and I tend believe they are more realistic. I do notice a little bit more curvature in GS pro but again, the data is the same in both places. I have GS pro on force realistic in settings.
You said this works for serval launch monitors but will it work for skytrack +?
I'll check and follow up. Uncertain at the moment. Will get back soon! Thank you for asking.
what is the projection on the ground or is that just an overlay for the video?
Overlay of the overhead putting camera. Visual aid to show how the input works… 🙂 OBS set up for future streams possibly 🙂
@@trpl_bgy thanks for sharing
What are dimensions of your sim room?. You should do a sim room tour.
I’ll have a video coming soon. Thank you for watching, for the comment, and i sincerely appreciate the suggestion / ask!
What is your spot light.
Great question! Link in video description for the pin light
Is that an actuall box and line on your mat, or is that just a video effect?
Unfortunately it’s video editing effect overlaying/blending the putting view on to the floor to demonstrate how it functions. Would be amazing to have projected!
Where do i find the software for the camera to work with mlm

@@trpl_bgy i got everything set up but the api for mevo i used to have shows up stils how do i get the open api on gs
need to contact GSPro support to switch license to API version. Should be able to reach out and have it done quickly.
What was projecting the lines on your mat?
OBS. Software for streaming. Pretty fun effect to lay that camera down on the turf for content :)
Ah ok so its not live on your floor. I see they sell soemthing like that but its expensive. Would there be a way to project a putting line with a cheap projector maybe?🤔
I cant get it to work. any idea why I keep getting the message replay cam not activated
Sorry to hear. Thanks for reaching out. What LM, which mobile device, and what connector? This is putting in to GSPro correct?
@@trpl_bgy yeah I'm using the web cam putting with a Mevo. I ended up reinstall it and got it to work. I can putt up to 40-45 ft. Do you get a better read on longer putts with a faster balls speed with a 60ffps camera ?
