FS MultiCam support for Mevo+

[Daniel.Armenio]

I posted on the FS Support forum asking if they will be adding support for the Mevo+ in the FS MultiCam app. They just responded that they are working on it and hope to have it available on the next month or two! This is great news for those of us looking to capture down the line and face on swings simultaneously with data overlay.

Meh, more iOS bullshit.

[bubbtubbs]

Mirek_62 because it's an OS with less than 25% global market share and draconian software oversight. Making it platform-exclusive is just limiting your reach. At least offer a native PC interface at the same time if your mobile strategy is an iOS partnership.

bubbtubbs Debugging SW for "million" HW specifications is much more demanding and especially more expensive than for a closed (SW + HW) system.

I'm aware of the difficulties, just indifferent to them.

Mevo+ is only a temporary stepping stone to Eye XO or whatever the best, non-Foresight overhead unit happens to be in a year or two so it doesn't really matter that much.

[Daniel.Armenio]

I’m guessing they sell the majority of their systems in the US/UK where iOS has close to a 60% market share. Either way, I agree with you and hope that they add support for PC and/or Android. I just submitted a follow up question on the forum and will report back.

It's funny how anecdotal experience can sometimes be so opposite reality, isn't it? I've seen the 55% North America ownership statistic before but of our 30 or so closest friends, most of whom are physicians, engineers and a few lawyers, only one has an iPhone. iTunes seems to be a common motivator behind the switch to Android since a fair number have complained about how annoying it was to use cross-platform.

My wife's whole med school class had iPhone 3GS and I really liked mine at first. After the second year I got sick of the GUI, the updates started to slow the device considerably and junk icons like Newsstand started appearing that I couldn't remove or hide, so I bought an S3, rooted it, installed a launcher and never looked back.

We do have a cheap B- iPad Pro I bought for when I take the Mevo+ on vacation but I got it refurbished from eBay so I wasn't directly supporting the company. The rest of the tablets in our group are a mix of Android and Surface Pro devices.

I'm sorry bubbtubbs but just because your friend circle uses Android phones does not make it better. The only reason why Android has the market share that it does is because it's used on all of the least expensive phones. I can't knock anyone for selecting an Android phone but let's not get ahead ourselves. Also keep in mind I think most Flightscope users use the software with a tablet, with that in mind I've never seen anyone with an Android tablet. Just my 2 cents.

[Daniel.Armenio]

Good news, they just got back to me that PC and Android will follow iOS. (Though they didn’t not provide a specific timeframe)

[bubbtubbs]

Thanks for getting in touch with them.

This would be awesome if the multi-cam app supports the MEVO+. Hopefully we do not have to purchase the pro package to have access to the app.

[Daniel.Armenio]

Good news. I saw on one of flight scope instagram videos that multicam will be folded into the FS golf app and you won’t need to buy the pro package to use it. They also confirmed they expect to release a PC version in the next few months which will support multiple USB cameras.

[boungolf]

yes i that is great news we do not need to purchase pro-package. I will eventually buy the pro package but not in the budget for this month.
