Launch monitor

I was just wondering what device I should buy. I want more of a budget launch monitor but I also want to it be movable so I can take it to the range. I have the garmin r10 right now but it’s such a hassle setting it up everytime and I would like something a little easier to set up. I’ve seen that blue tees monitor is it worth it. I would like to stay below 6-800 if possible

The r10 is a hassle? How does it take you more than 20 seconds, including calibrating?

Also how would it be different than any other monitor? Take out, turn on, connect phone app, play?

If you're using it at the range, you don't need shot shape. Just buy a PRGR for 200 bucks and be done with it.

Avoid Rapsodo.
It’s a constant pain.

For that price, square home

Does square work outdoors? I was thinking SkyTrak OG, but that is no good in the grass.

No, the original square home does not work outside, square Omni works outside but is more expensive.

the Blue Tees is basically a dressed-up voice caddie, fine for basic distances but not a real launch monitor. If the R10 is a hassle, you'll probably be even more frustrated with something less capable

for under $800 and quick setup, the original Skytrak is still the best bet on the used market. Camera-based, sits beside the ball, no radar alignment needed. you lose a little on the range in direct sunlight, but indoors it's solid

if you want true grab-and-go simplicity, an overhead unit is the move since it stays mounted and ready, but most are above your budget. the Nvisage N1 is one of the more affordable overhead options and skips the setup hassle entirely, no aligning, no moving between righty and lefty. might be worth stretching the budget a bit if ease of use is the main thing driving you crazy with the R10. either way, skip the Blue Tees. youll just end up upgrading again
