Abstract
A portable golf ball launch monitor including at least one camera, a processor and memory, a power source, a case, and at least one additional component. The processor is electronically connected to a memory and is programmed to determine golf ball flight information based upon information from the camera. The case maintains the camera, processor, memory and power source. The at least one additional component includes at least one of, optionally two or more of, a mobile device interface unit, a wireless charging unit, a near field communication (NFC) unit, a color LCD display, a barometer device, a support arm, and a strap, each of which optionally carried by, or connected to, the case.
