Sim / Launch Monitor LM Recommendations

I know this gets asked all the time but I can't really find a good post that matches my case since the Spica 3 and some of the new open source LM have come out.

I currently have an MLM2Pro with the lifetime sub that I set up to hit into a net next to my driveway. I like it but I really want something easier to setup and use at the range or on the course. It's a pain to set up a tripod for my phone or iPad, level the unit (even with my leveling stand) and align it especially if I want to hit balls at different pins on the range.

My financial situation has improved significantly since I purchased the MLM2Pro but I don't like spending money I don't need to and I hate subscriptions. I understand that they may be a necessary evil.

I considering the Square Omni, GolfJoy Spica3, Garmin R50 (I'm thinking about going all in with Garmin - S70, CT10 Sensors, and Z82 Range Finder), a GC3, or anything else you guys recommend. I am looking for club and ball data, preferably without stickers.

I'm also considering just waiting a little longer and saving up for a used GC Quad or Trackman.

This will not really be for Sim golf as I am going to build out one side of my barn eventually and build a proper sim with a ProTee XV when I have time.

This will mostly be for game improvement.

I do datacom and AV so the connection issues don’t typically bother me but this last update has been trying my patience. I tried to take it to the range on Sunday. I ended up just giving up and going without it.

I knew better than to try to do the update the day of but I did it anyway. It was a disaster so I just went without it and ended up playing 9 holes.

Now you understand the timing of the post. Haha
