FlightScope discontinued the Mevo+ in late 2025 in favor of the Mevo Gen2, which means the Mevo+ is now a clearance product: real savings if you catch it right, a dead-end if FlightScope stops supporting it entirely within your ownership window.

Pricing as of July 2026: clearance Mevo+ stock runs around $1,099, down from an original $2,299, with some retailers pushing promotional pricing to roughly $1,044. The Gen2 replaces it at $1,299.

Both units run FlightScope’s Fusion Tracking, a hybrid that pairs Doppler radar with an onboard camera rather than relying on radar alone, which is how a device this size manages ball speed, spin, and both ball and club data (club speed and angle of attack) from a single 16-ounce unit. Where they diverge is mostly hardware refinement, not the core sensor: the Gen2 runs a 6-hour battery against the Mevo+‘s 2 to 3 hours, charges over USB-C instead of the Mevo+‘s older USB-Mini, and switched to a portrait orientation that gives a higher sight line, a real improvement for chipping and putting tracking indoors, where the Mevo+‘s landscape mount reads short shots less reliably. Oddly, the standard metric count actually drops slightly on the newer unit, 18 tracked parameters on the Gen2 versus 20 on the Mevo+, and the bundled E6 Connect courses go from 12 lifetime on the Mevo+ to 8 on the Gen2. Neither difference is significant enough to reverse the recommendation below.

The actual decision

If the price gap is under $200, buy the Gen2. You’re getting double the battery life, a modern charging port, better short-game tracking, current firmware support, and FlightScope’s ongoing update commitment for a small premium. If you find genuine clearance pricing near $1,044 and you’re comfortable with an end-of-life product accepting a shorter battery and the older landscape mount, the Mevo+ savings are real, but you’re buying a unit FlightScope has already stopped iterating on.

Setup matters either way: both units need 7 to 9 feet of sensor-to-tee distance, and indoors specifically, you’ll want reflective marker stickers or radar-calibrated (RCT) balls for the spin numbers to read accurately, since the fusion sensor leans harder on radar return in tighter indoor spans where the camera has less flight path to work with. A camera-and-infrared unit like Foresight’s GC3 skips that requirement entirely, one of the real tradeoffs of buying radar-based over camera-based.

What “20 parameters” actually means

On a full swing, the Mevo+ reports ball speed, club speed, smash factor, carry distance, total distance, launch angle, launch direction, spin rate, spin axis, spin loft, apex height, flight time, angle of attack, roll distance, lateral landing, shot dispersion, and shot type, plus reduced sets built specifically for chipping and putting. That’s a genuinely full data table for the price, not a marketing number padded with duplicates, and FlightScope has committed in writing that none of it moves behind a paywall: “Mevo+ data parameters will always be available free of charge without a subscription fee.” The 12 bundled E6 Connect courses (8 on the Gen2) come free for life too.

Where this fits against the R10 and MLM2PRO

Neither FlightScope unit carries a mandatory subscription, which puts total cost of ownership closer to the Garmin R10 than the Rapsodo MLM2PRO despite the higher sticker price. If subscription-free is a priority and you want more polish than the R10 offers, this is the pick.

Either FlightScope purchase is a portable-format bet: pack it up, take it to the range, bring it back to the garage bay. That flexibility is the actual differentiator against fixed camera-and-infrared units.

There’s one more clearance-specific risk worth naming plainly: FlightScope isn’t obligated to keep pushing firmware updates to a discontinued product forever. Nothing in the company’s public materials sets an end-of-support date for the Mevo+, and the free-data and free-course commitments above are still in force, but a discontinued unit is, by definition, no longer where FlightScope is investing its engineering time. If a firmware update ever adds a feature or a compatibility fix, the Gen2 gets it first, and possibly only. That’s the real cost of the clearance discount, not the hardware itself, which is unchanged from the day it shipped.
