Garmin R50 Placement: Height, Position and Cameras
Garmin places the R50 approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) beside the tee and describes internal cameras. GolfCompat keeps those manufacturer instructions separate from numeric room-clearance requirements. Read the placement conditions below, then check the software connection and host computer for your intended setup.

Garmin R50 manufacturer placement instructions
Read these as manufacturer placement instructions. Approximate distances and ball-position zones do not establish room dimensions or complete swing clearance.
- Approximate device position
- You must place the launch monitor approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) to the side of the tee location.
- Device orientation
- The launch monitor must face the tee location.
- Height and supporting surface
- For best results, you should place the launch monitor at approximately the same height as the tee location.
Use the source diagram for the reference direction.
Keep the approximate placement as printed
Use the manufacturer instruction and source diagram together. Preserve both printed units and the word approximately when recording the device position. Do not turn that position into an exact room-width or ceiling-height requirement.
Check the software and room separately
The pairing table records named software connections. A supported-device listing does not supply a complete shopping list or every software entitlement. Confirm the application, host computer, equipment and purchase terms before comparing a full setup cost.
