Frequently asked questions

Is SkyTrak+ suitable for indoor use?

See the compatibility matrix above. Indoor performance depends on the measurement technology, available room depth and careful setup.

Can it power a golf simulator?

Yes where shown as simulator-ready, but software, computer and subscription requirements vary. Check the full cost rather than the hardware price alone.

Should I choose radar or camera technology?

Radar usually offers strong portability and outdoor flexibility, while camera products often suit tighter indoor spaces. The room should drive the decision.

Is a subscription required?

Hardware use and simulator software are separate considerations. Review current plans before buying because ongoing costs can materially change value.

Current buying position

SkyTrak+ remains relevant for owners and used or remaining-stock comparisons, but new buyers should compare ST MAX and other current alternatives first.

Plan the complete setup
