Foresight GCQuad: Room Requirements & Exact Placement
Foresight · High-speed quad camera · typical price $10,000 · Updated June 2026
The Foresight GCQuad is a camera unit that sits 22 inches to the side of the ball (on the golfer's trail side), photographing impact at high speed. Because it doesn't need space behind the player, it's the go-to choice for rooms under 16 ft deep — you only need ball-to-screen distance plus swing room. It wants at least 300 lux on the hitting area. Left-handed golfers: it moves to the opposite side of the ball, so leave clearance on both sides if multiple people will play.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you place the Foresight GCQuad?
22 inches directly beside the ball on the golfer's trail side, level with the hitting surface and parallel to the target line.
What room size do I need for the Foresight GCQuad?
Beside-ball cameras need far less depth than radar — roughly 12–14 feet works: ~8–10 ft ball-to-screen plus swing space behind. That's why camera units are the standard pick for tight rooms.
What lighting does the Foresight GCQuad need?
At least 300 lux on the hitting area (standard indoor).
