Thanks for the comment and feedback! I just had someone ask about magnets affecting the monitor. I ahve not had it happen but if you some reason do, please share :) Enjoy!
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.)
Useful, aside from the upside down title, just got my MLM2pro for the garden, got a mat that sits higher than the surrounding floor so now i know will need to raise up the unit a bit. Didnt know that so thanks.
Great Suggestion! Thank you for the compliment I appreciate it very much. Love the video idea. Got to tell ya, being new to this they are sometimes hard to come by. Coming Soon!
Cool idea dude! I've never thought to do that. Can you keep us updated! I would be worried that the magnets would maybe mess with the internal components.
Sure thing! I will keep you updated. Ive had no issues and am many months in at this point. 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.
Keep up the great content. It’s always so helpful. Quick question on the mlm2 alignment. I’m using your magnet idea (which is awesome). What part of the unit needs to be aligned with the hitting mat since you have taken it off the tripod? Can you just use the height that gives you the best “yellow box” on your hitting strip? Thanks!
Very kind. Ty. The tripod stand elevates it 5.75” above surface. My hitting surface is 2” above my floor (hitting mat 2.5” - .5” floor = 2”). I have .25 drop from where I hit to where it’s mounted due to my garage floor slope. So from the spot I mount it. I took 5.75” (tripod) + 2” (matt thickness above floor) + .25 (incline/elevation) = 8” I have the bottom of the MLM2 sitting at 8” above my floor measured at the spot it’s mounted which is 7.5’ from strike point. I also “shimmed” the door and made sure the MLM was “Plum” (not leaning forward or backward). I did this by adding a couple of layers of electrical tape on one magnet to get the top and bottom magnet on plum plane. It has an accelerometer so that’s not the most important thing. But the location of the yellow box depends on that camera angle. My hitting box is purely measured and not visual using the MLM. I measured 6.5’ to 8’ and made it 1’ wide.
I have an old painful video of how to connect to GSPro entirely. Recorded the audio late at night. Long video but goes through every step of the connector. I plan to update that video soon! th-cam.com/video/-W3tzu48Ad0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hGBkJ2asJm4voWgj
MLM2Pro beginner here. So, you plug your rhapsodo directly to your tablet and then mirror? I didn't know you could do that, so am I understanding you correctly? The magnet idea is brilliant. Keep posting please. Thanks
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.
New video dropping this afternoon showing a new direct Bluetooth connection to the PC. I would recommend bypassing the now “older” tablet OCR bridge if able and going straight to Bluetooth. I also have a video on channel of an existing Bluetooth connection that works great and is already available to try.
Can you post a video of what your down the line shot vision looks like? Mine seems to be angled wrong when i view my shots which could be why my readings are off. TIA
I tried to show this on my recent video regarding Power Toys. I had the down the line camera in view for most of the video. Hopefully this helps you see. Write back if need more info or I can help.
Good information, thank you. I also am using the mlm2pro and have been trying to work out how I can get myself to show up in the down the line video, it seems to Not be able to go wide angle enough to fit me completely in the frame. Anyone figure this out or are you not having this issue? Thank you.
I've been asked this and notice it especially on phone and tablet devices in portrait mode. It's as if the wide angle camera is centered and only shows the left side. Or standing too close to the unit. But hard to tell. I've also been told rapsodo is working on it. What device do you use?
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.
I set mine up in my garage and align it like it perfect but every shot seems to be a pull left. My friends even come over and two of them are scratch golfers. Has anybody else had this issue? If so did you fix it?
Do you hit offset from center? I do (hit right of center) and it took a while to get used to not aiming center (left) of alignment… have to explain to guests too. otherwise I’m not sure..
just found your channel its a great resource had my mlm2 since june..recently changed my internet and the wifi extender and around the same time started to have problems..my club speed is reading 20 mph fast on average and my smash factor has dropped below 1.0 to match for the distance which doesnt seem to be affected..im also getting lots of disconnects and it used to be very stable, i sent the bug data through to rapsodo and they got back to me saying that they think a magnetic field is interfereing with the radar function..so when i seen you using magnets on the back of your mlm2 i thought WTF..have you come across anyone with similar issues?
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...
@@trpl_bgy thanks for reply..yes prior to changing my internet i had a 2nd router configured as a repeater and connected by a 20 meter ethernet cable directly from my home router out to my garage sim room with an internet speed of 100 meg..the new internet is 300 meg but plumbed into different part of the house so i used a powerline extender to the garage and the speed im reading out there has been decreased to a fluctuating 28 to 42 meg..so im thinking this is probably the problem and im gonna have to re drill the home walls and refit the ethernet cable to the router..strange they read the bug data and came back with magnetic field interferance of the radar
@@trpl_bgy no I’m seeing these misreads on club and smash factor data from hitting off the turf.. also the new speed training section has become completely erratic and unusable.. when using driver I hit off the little rubber cylinder tees of 3 sizes held together with a length of string that I would have used on course for winter golf.. but I haven’t noticed that effect the readings
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.
@@trpl_bgyhow do you get the iPad to share through a screen share app via cord ? I’d love to play gspro but have the iPad and mlm2pro directly connected
I own this thing. No idea why you can't adjust the height of the unit to account for mat height other than to strap it to a wall or put a friggin board under it like I am now...
@@trpl_bgy haha, still a good job on the video, and I stayed for the whole thing … not til end did I realize the upside down thing … best of luck with the algorithms, hopefully this still helps!
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.
I’ve had the unit since day one, All you do is put a ball down, And put the yellow box around the ball and start hitting. My numbers lineup with trackman.
@@safranic that’s awesome! My numbers do too. I love having it permanently mounted as my hitting mat is fixed in location and elevated. Makes it easy so I never have to look for any yellow box or check alignment. Totally agree, It’s a great unit!
The magnets were a great idea! Just put some on mine and it makes setup so much easier. Thanks!
