  • Skytrak Armour

    Ok, I'm starting this thread to see if protecting the Skytrak box is still a must for some people.

    I have read countless posts on this subject and generally feel that this is a need for users. I have owned the Skytrak for a couple of months and agree for the most part. Honestly, it doesn't seem an issue for myself, however I couldn't possibly let my kids, favorite friends, or even a touring pro use it without completely freaking out!!!

    My question is this. Is this a need for users that still exists for a reasonable enough amount of people?

    I am a manufacturing engineer and have all the available information and software to develop a legit protective case that can make the Skytrak bulletproof. I can integrate leveling devices, locating devices, and alignment aids into the case. Basically whatever a user wants.

    I can have these produced at a reasonable cost and shipped to a user. This is what I can do.

    I have a desire to this, have started on a prototype for myself, but am really looking for more interest than personal use. Time is a huge motivator for me as I'd rather be hacking away on the TGC. LOL!

    If you are interested, please PM me or just reply to this thread so I can get an idea of the need.

    Disclaimer: yes I have the Davray sketch and will use some of that information in whatever design I come up with. My plan would be to optimize and improve overall function of whatever case I come up with. I see location, leveling, protection, and consistency of setup being the utmost importance.

  • I ordered my Armour case Friday and received it yesterday. It is built like a Sherman tank.--there is no way an errant shot can hurt my ST with this case.. Given the quality and insurance that it provides this case is an absolute steal at $149. Fantastic job--thanks Gary.

      Great to hear, thanks liturbo!

  • I have about 10 of the original cases left so order up if interested. Ordering options are:

    Original version - PayPal payment to paypal.me/GarySatterwhite

    "Lite" version - eBay - Skytrak Armour

    • I am interested in the original one, the sherman ;-)

      What would the price be with shipping to Sweden?

      • Case is great. Nice having some peace of mind. Now I just need to find the perfect hitting mat.

        • How well do either versions do sitting on the mat? And what are differences between the two versions?

          Comment


          • Hey guys, thanks for the good words. Steeltalons - both cases sit very good and have no trouble with reads when placed directly on the mat. The hardware works down into the turf and the extra weight really helps with this. The differences include a top, usb protection, a thicker base, and rotational freedom with the original version.

                He still has them. I ordered one yesterday.

            • I sold out of the "Lite" version on eBay. I've updated the listing for the Original version.

              eBay - Skytrak Armour

              • Rather than retyping this in PM's I figured I'd post it here...

                Currently sold out and not sure I'm gonna have anymore made. Glad to not have been stuck with several that I can't sell thus far. I'm sure you understand. I actually bought the metal case that SkyTrak is now selling and it's very good with a couple things that I don't like. The top is still mostly exposed and the feet are too loose for me. A guy could get a lock nut and fix the feet easy enough. At $99 with promocode METAL50 it's a pretty good deal.

                • Just tried ordered one for the UK but the code doesn't work for here.
                  That's a pity and I'll have to wait until a code becomes available

                    • If anyone has one of Gary's original Armour cases (The Sherman) they want to sell, I'm a buyer.

                      I was one of the original purchasers of the Skytrak Armour. I know you no longer market it and have moved on to GC. Just wanted to let you know it has worked flawlessly for me (Rarely a misread) and I have added a handle which is the only thing missing. Helps I when moving the Skytrak and also when switching from lefties to righty which has been working great.
