GSA Golf Cameras

[wisetoad]

Hi, anyone know what make/model of cameras are used in the GSA golf systems?

Thanks

PTgrey USB Chameleon.

[wisetoad]

Thanks. I assume the monochrome version?

[bubba22]

wise do you have a GSA system?

[QUOTE=wisetoad;466651]Thanks. I assume the monochrome version?[/QUOT]

yes

[wisetoad]

Just some random components. Was thinking about getting a used PX2 and adding to it.

random GSA components or computer/screen/mat random components?

You can't buy the cameras direct from Ptgrey. You have to buy them from GGS otherwise they won't be recognized by the software.

Exactly why I was asking what he had Z!!

[wisetoad]

GSA components. Thanks for the compatibility tip! Serial number lock, or special camera software flash?

[bubba22]

Which components do you have? The suspense is killing me!!!

[wisetoad]

I have the optical sensor array... making up my mind on a used PX2.

serial

Pm and pick ZMax brains before taking the plunge. Zmax and mmlincon are our resident experts on GSA.

[wisetoad]

Yeah, I did a decent amount of reading on the forum. I know what I'm getting into if I chose to go the GSA route. I picked up a few used machine cameras and am building my own club/ball capture setup for fun.

[bubba22]

Well have fun! Post some pics if you can. Do check on the compatability with GSA before spending too much if that is the intention.

[ZMax]

You found used registered GGS cameras?

[wisetoad]

I have an Optishot. I don't always trust it. Sometimes says my clubface is extremely closed... so I made a setup to take snapshots of my club at impact so I can see if it is lying and to check its accuracy. I'm now expanding it, and thought buying 'GSA compatible' components might not be a bad idea, thats all.

[wisetoad]

Zmax: no, i bought some Dalsa GigE compliant cameras off eBay. They are not GSA compatible.

[bubba22]

Have you read the entire GSA and LX threads????

[ZMax]

You planning on writing your own software and using the PX2 to trigger the cameras?

[wisetoad]

Yes, I have read the threads.
No, I have my own trigger not the PX2 mat. I haven't played with the PX2, don't know if I could pull a usable trigger off of it.
The software so far is just what I have wrote.

[bubba22]

Well good luck wise. Where are you getting the used PX2? You have a GSA opical sensor array?

[ZMax]

There's a good signal on the PX2 that can be used to trigger the cameras for club face. You sound like you know electronics so you should be able to find it easily.

[wisetoad]

Thanks. I'll keep you guys posted. Just a hobby.... and trying to see whats going on with my swing to fix my golf game!

[bubba22]

Best of luck and keep us posted.
