Additional Info

Garmin Approach R50 – Entry-Level Photometric Launch Monitor

The Garmin R50 is an affordable, compact photometric launch monitor that makes getting started with golf simulation easier than ever. Featuring three high-speed cameras, it delivers solid data on key metrics like:

  • Ball speed

  • Club speed

  • Launch angle

  • Spin rate

  • Carry distance

The shot replay camera is functional, though slightly soft in image quality. Data accuracy is generally very reliable, with only the occasional misread—roughly 1 in 20 shots in testing. At this price point, it's an impressive overall experience.

Compatible with GSPro via PC or direct HDMI output for Garmin’s own software, the R50 offers flexibility whether you're starting out or building a more custom setup over time.


Key Features:

  • 3-camera photometric system

  • Compact and portable – easy to move or store

  • HDMI output – connect directly to TV/projector

  • GSPro support (via PC)

  • Garmin Golf App – detailed analysis and shot history

  • Customisable settings for tailored feedback

  • Beginner-friendly interface


The Garmin R50 is a great way to enter the simulator space without a big upfront investment—ideal for casual golfers, home setups, or those looking to explore simulation before upgrading.
