Uneekor EYE MINI Lite: Room Requirements & Exact Placement

Uneekor · Camera + infrared · typical price $1,700 · Updated June 2026

The Uneekor EYE MINI Lite is a camera unit that sits 18 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. Built-in infrared lighting means it works in dim rooms. It requires manufacturer-marked balls for flight detection. 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 Uneekor EYE MINI Lite?

18 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 Uneekor EYE MINI Lite?

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 Uneekor EYE MINI Lite need?

None to speak of — it uses built-in infrared and works in normal or dim indoor light.
