GC3 vs VX

The GC3 is $3,999, Foresight's sale price since October 13, 2026, against a $6,999 list, with no announced end date; earlier in 2026 Foresight's promotions took it to $5,999 for long stretches and $5,249 for two weeks in July. The VX is $6,500 everywhere we track, about $2,500 more up front. The GC3 is a battery-powered floor unit that sits beside the ball and works indoors and out; the VX mounts on a ceiling of at least 9 ft, stays indoors and reads right- and left-handed golfers with nothing to move.

Both are camera systems. The GC3 uses three cameras over a 7 by 10 inch zone, and its club data — club speed, smash factor, path and attack angle — reads from one reflective marker on the face. The VX uses two overhead cameras over a 25 by 21 inch zone and reads club data with no stickers, adding face angle, face to path, dynamic loft, lie angle and impact point.

The GC3 comes with 30 days of Foresight+ Gold and Course Pass Pro. After that, course play in Foresight Premier needs Silver ($199/yr) or Gold ($599/yr) plus a Course Pass ($295 or $595 a year), roughly $500 to $1,200 a year, and GSPro needs Gold. The VX has no recurring fee from ProTee and no course play of its own; GSPro lists it officially at $250 a year, and E6 Connect is a $2,500 ProTee licence. For E6 Connect on the GC3, Foresight's page still asks for an FSX licence it no longer sells, so check with Foresight first.

On GSPro, five years comes to about $8,244 for the GC3 ($3,999 plus $849 a year) against $7,750 for the VX. The GC3's $2,500 head start lasts a little over four years before the VX's lower running cost catches it. If the GC3 goes back to its $6,999 list, its figure is about $11,244 and the VX's lead about $3,500. For a fixed indoor room the VX is still the better value, by less than it was, and it does more from the ceiling: both hands, no stickers, a bigger zone. The GC3 earns its place if the unit has to travel, or if the money up front matters more than the running cost.
