Gary....Can you advise what color you will be painting the Armor? Did you decide up on Army Green or decide to go with a matte black paint?

At the risk of being ripped off (again), I want to post a graphic of my new window for clarity. I think there has been some misunderstanding as to what I have done here. I've done more than "just cut the jail bars in front of the LED flash". I've redesigned the window to be 100% protective and to not have material in places that can cause bad reads. I've gained a great understanding of what is going on with the camera system that the ST uses. Having reverse engineered the entire ST camera system I'm now fully confident in what I have designed. You will see the ST camera system behind the window in my graphic. This isn't "scanned" in or a rendering. This is me sitting down with calipers, a scale, a lot of time, and some experience to get everything right. Should I have done this from the very beginning? Yes. Did I think it was that critical? No. I was wrong in that thinking. However, I've also been accused of "mulling" over a design for 3 months. Even though I started this thread 11/29/2016. While this has dragged on for longer than I would have liked, I simply want to make it right from the beginning. Have a look at the graphic.Comment

To confirm, we don't need to buy the hardware to screw the SkyTrak into the base, but we do need to purchase the Leveling screws? Please confirm when you have a moment. Also, have you done any testing with your SkyTrak in regards to a Network Wifi connection or are you connecting directly? If you're connecting via Network, can you confirm you're not experiencing wifi signal degradation or interference with the Armor?Originally posted by GarySatterwhite View Post
Also, i know you've mentioned a few times the Armor is 8 pounds, the base is .375 inches thick and while that is indeed good to know, that doesn't necessarily mean a direct hit by a golf ball won't seriously dent the armor. Can you advise the thickness of the exterior metal which encloses the SkyTrak to the base? I think it's a fair question to ask and i don't believe i've seen an answer when asked previously.

All fair questions Jason and when I get a little more time (in the morning) I will answer all of them. In short, don't buy anything. -
Jason Barto - I'm supplying all hardware and leveling feet. The leveling feet will be 2" long and I have to be firm on that because I've already bulk ordered those to save guys the hassle. So unless you have a need for longer ones you won't need to buy anything extra.
I haven't had any issues with wifi. Actually after having gone to using wifi, my ST has performed great. I haven't been able to test this because apparently you can't get good free apps for this on iPhone. I'm open for options here. My wifi antenna is literally 4 feet away from ST.
The base of the Armour is .375" and the enclosure is .125". As far as I know, it's over twice the thickness as any other metal protection out there. I believe I've read someone call it a "sherman tank". I'm ok with that.
All good questions...

Hi Gary....do you still have units left to sell from the current batch or what would the delivery time be if I ordered today? Thanks!Comment

This will sound like a bit of a humble brag and I understand that. I played a good round of golf (73) in the current TGC tourney on a very difficult golf course. Checking my shot recording you will see a zeroed out HA(direction) on every putt I hit. I'm pretty stoked about that!Comment

That's awesome Gary. I'm now even more excited to get mine!Originally posted by GarySatterwhite View PostComment

Hey guys, I finally got my Skytrak Armour production run in. I'll be sending these out today. I'm really happy with the way that the manufacturing turned out. Let me know what you think.

Wow, Gary, that looks fantastic. Can't wait for this to get into the hands of the SkyTrak users to see some additional user reviews. It might end up on my Christmas list...
I'm sure it's not the "case" (haha-see what I did there), but the way the bars are laid out on the front, it almost looks like a golf ball could sneak through there into the flash area? Either way, looks great.Comment

Gary - just *another* message to say thanks for all your work on this and also opening it up to the community and offering the group buy in. I am sure it has been way more effort than you anticipated but we all appreciate it! I received my tracking number this morning and cannot wait to let my kids start using the Skytrak without being paranoid
