Launch monitor space requirements: every model

The seller's stated space requirement for each model, beside our depth figure calculated the same way for all of them.

By FOREference Editorial · Updated 30 Sep 2026

The short answer

Radar units behind the ball need the deepest rooms; camera units beside the ball and overhead units read the ball at impact and fit rooms from about 13.5 ft deep. Overhead units add their own ceiling requirement.
