The Quick Verdict
Get the Mevo Gen 2. The Mevo+ is discontinued, costs $1,000 more, and the Gen 2 improves on it in meaningful ways — longer battery, USB-C instead of micro-USB, and the same fusion tracking technology. The Mevo+ is worth hunting down on closeout if you find it significantly under $1,000 and need those extra 4 E6 courses, but that's a narrow window and stock is drying up. For anyone buying today, the Gen 2 is the obvious call. Check price at The Indoor Golf Shop →
What They Have in Common
Both use FlightScope's fusion tracking — 3D Doppler radar combined with camera-based image processing — so they share the same core technology for tracking ball and club data indoors and outdoors. Neither requires special balls or club face stickers. Both connect to E6 Connect and GSPro with no ongoing subscription fees. Both have no built-in display, so you're working off the FS Golf app.
Where They Differ
Battery life and charging
This one's not close. The Gen 2 gives you up to 6 hours; the Mevo+ tops out around 3. If you're running a sim session or doing a long range day, that difference matters. And the Gen 2 uses USB-C — the Mevo+ still has micro-USB, which is the kind of port you're digging through a junk drawer to find. Small thing, but it adds up over time.
Data points and software bundle
The Mevo+ tracks 20 data points to the Gen 2's 18, though looking at the actual metrics lists for both, they're tracking the same 12 core metrics — ball speed, club speed, smash factor, launch angles, spin rate, spin axis, carry, roll, total distance, apex height, lateral landing. The "20 vs 18" gap probably lives in how each unit breaks out sub-metrics or presents derived data, not in fundamentally different measurement categories. I'd guess most golfers won't feel the difference in practice.
On the software side, the Mevo+ bundles 12 E6 Connect courses to the Gen 2's 8. If you're primarily using this for sim play and E6 is your platform, that's worth noting — though GSPro connects to both at no extra fee, and GSPro's course library dwarfs E6's anyway.
Price and what you're actually getting
The Mevo+ lists at $2,299. The Gen 2 lists at $1,299. That's a $1,000 gap for a discontinued unit with shorter battery life and an older charging port. Even if you find Mevo+ closeout stock at $1,500, you're paying a premium for a product that won't get firmware updates and has limited warranty support going forward.
The Gen 2's fusion tracking is the same generation of technology as the Mevo+. FlightScope didn't release the Gen 2 as a budget cut — it replaced the Mevo+ with meaningful hardware improvements.
Discontinued status
The Mevo+ is discontinued. Stock is limited, warranty support will taper off, and any software updates FlightScope pushes will be built around the Gen 2 going forward. Buying discontinued tech isn't always wrong — sometimes the value is there — but at $2,299 MSRP (or even $1,500 closeout), it's hard to make the case here when the Gen 2 exists.
Who Should Buy Which
FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 — $1,299
- You want a current-generation fusion tracking launch monitor without a subscription.
- You're building a home sim setup and want to use GSPro or E6 Connect without ongoing fees.
- You want to take it to the range — 6 hours of battery and under a pound means it actually fits in your bag.
- You care about firmware support and software updates over the next few years.
- You want to capture swing video with shot tracer overlay for your own review or to share with an instructor.
FlightScope Mevo+ — $2,299 (discontinued)
- You've found it at a significant closeout discount — think $800–$900 range — and you're okay with limited stock and no future updates.
- You're heavily invested in E6 Connect and want those extra 4 courses without paying to upgrade through E6's own platform.
- That's about it. At anywhere near MSRP, this comparison doesn't really work in the Mevo+'s favor.
The Bottom Line
The Mevo Gen 2 is the better product at the better price. More battery, better charging port, current production support, same core technology, $1,000 less. The Mevo+ had its moment — it was a solid unit when it launched — but it's been replaced by something genuinely better. If you stumble across Mevo+ clearance stock at a steep enough discount, it might pencil out, but don't go looking for it.
