  • Mevo+ Sum up

    I have seen three threads in this forum regarding the Mevo+ and i thought it was a good idea to try and sum up what we know so far. Feel free to comment with stuff we know that i have missed and i will update this thread.

    The Mevo+ is a radar launch monitor with built in alignment camera from Flightscope aimed for the consumer market and with a 2000 euro price-tag excluding VAT.
    Flightscope is known for their high end B2B products and apps and good customer service.

    Included in the package is the Mevo+ app which allows for overlay clips and sharing on the Internet and saving onto the Flightscope cloud. 10 clips can be saved in the cloud without cost and additional storage can be purchased. Also included is E6 connect (PC and iOS) and 5 different golf courses and 17 ranges and a mini game. More E6-courses will be available for purchase but it is unclear if they are available at the moment of me writing this down..

    There is some confusion if the 5 courses included in the Mevo requires an extra softwarepurchase from E6 or not. Mevo+ is also compatible with the FS skills app with combines etc. When launched the Mevo will support iOS and Android will be available in a few months. The Mevo+ is used as a wifi-hotspot when connected to other devices.The Mevo+ requires no annual fee for the above.

    The Mevo will also be integrated with TGC and The awesome golf suite.

    Flightscope has a 14 day return policy.

    There are PC software available from FS as well but for an additional fee and there is also additional products like SelfieGolf, FocusBand and extra metallic stickers. SelfieGolf is used to atach your phone to your bag when capturing clips with the phones camera. FocusBand is a training product that tracks your state of mind when preparing for the swing and when you swing. This is used by numerous professionals as a training aid.

    Mevo+ reads and handles all the parameters the Xi- series did but only present 16 of them to the user. This is just as it was when they launched the Xi and Xi+ and those were followed by the Xi Tour that unlocked all parameters.

    Mevo+ can be used indoors and outdoors but indoors needs a special metallic sticker to be put on the ball for reliable spin-data. The Mevo+ also handles local weather data in order to increase the data quality. Sun or darkness has no impact but it has been reported that users should avoid fluorescent lighting.

    Clips has shown very short delay and lag between the actual shot and it appearing on screen.

    For short indoor mode, the unit is placed eight feet behind the ball and minimum eight feet of flight required. For regular indoor mode, the unit can be 7' to 9' behind the ball with a minimum of 13' of flight. Not determined if this could be reduced but info is on its way but requires testing. According to FS putting is reliable to as short as 5 feet putts.

    FS have communicated through official channels that the device will be as accurate as the Xi series. This statement has been backup by a third party, Protee united:
    “Mevo+ is indeed a great unit. We have been working on the integration in 2019 and are impressed. We compared results with other well know launch monitors and all is very close."

    Protee United has verified that the integration with TGC is up and running and will be launched soon. TGC to Mevo will not be sold thru Protee but thru Flighscope or a third party:

    "Flightscope will list it for sale very soon. We will not be selling this direct.

    Flightscope has been testing the integration and they are happy and excited like we are."

    Btw this video at one point the interviewer asks which sims are with the Mevo+ and the response was:

    - E6
    - TGC
    - Awesome Golf
    - and two others are in the works

    what would be the two others?

      Creative Golf 3D is the only other listed for Mevo+ in the FlightScope brochure from the show. Golf Shotz and Big Shots are listed for their higher-end monitors.

    Here is a new video of someone chipping a short distance.

    looks pretty impressive as only one shot looked off.

        Quote from the Mevo+ user group on FB.

        “Just got off the phone with an engineer from Flightscope. It is not specified on the website, but he said DO NOT use a ball with the metallic dot for putting. He said it messes with the read of the putting and will cause all kinds of issues. I have not had a chance to try this yet, but he said it should help a lot. He also said that engineers are actively working on the system to to give the best possible experience.”

          I just did a repeat of my putting test without stickers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSq_VgZhJOc

          Spoiler alert: saw no meaningful difference.

            Is there a reason you made all the putting videos private? Dare I even ask?

            Can you make this one public? The link won’t allow me to view this one.

          Quick question.
          - does Mevo+ require any markings on the clubs aswell?
          - Is manual club selection needed every time you switch to hit a different shot.

            No

            apparently it is needed in order for the lm to adjust the radar beam so it can catch the ball in its trajectory.

              According to FlightScope through their online chat I was told that additional E6 Connect courses will be available through the subscription of $300 or $600 a year. Sounded like Identical to what SkyTrak will be doing.

                Additional courses for the iOS version? Or does this mean that we can get the PC version for $300 a year?

                  I have a mail from FS support that says that they will have the same offer for PC but what is unclear is if the software is included in that price. I have mailed them and asked for a clarification.

                  Yes it does.
                  Required spec can be found here:
                  FlightScope's X3, Mevo and Mevo+ frequently asked questions about troubleshooting, firmware, hardware, and mobile apps (Android & Apple).
