Garage Sim Lighting
I’m using my Rapsodo MLM2Pro in my garage, hitting into an impact screen with a projector. I was standing about 10ft/13ft from the screen depending on the day and just found out it should be 8ft. Tried 8ft and didn’t like it so settled at 9ft. I typically kill the lights in the garage so I can see the screen a bit better and have an overhead pointer spotlight that points in a circle on the hitting mat around the ball. The Rapsodo is anywhere from 6ft/8ft behind the mat. I know they say 7.5ft is the sweet spot but I’m starting to think maybe 6ft is way better. My hitting mat is 2.5in thick and the Rapsodo is on Claire’s leveler at 2.5in height with the ball in the boxes and the line directly lined up on the ball.
My question is, should I actually have the lights on in the garage or at least have 1 light on over the Rapsodo? I really can’t have all the lights on or I won’t see the screen, I didn’t pay thousands on a projector, I got the 2nd tier models around $700 so it’s not quite as bright as the top of the line ones but still pretty bright and nice.
Also, like many others, my yardage isn’t accurate at all so I’m in the trial and error phase and eliminating any potential issues
I’m going to try and mess with my elevation settings, I’ve heard that helped some even though the Rapsodo detects mine correctly already but can’t hurt to try
