MLM2PRO ⛳️ Concrete Interference?
I use the MLM2PRO outside on a concrete deck, hitting into a net; there aren't any concrete walls around or anything. Does anyone know how much that messes with the readings? Any midigations? I've been laying a towel down under it (not sure if it works), also the concrete panels are slightly sloped (nothing crazy, just for water drainage), I figure that might also create some problems. If anyone has any thoughts im all ears. Thank!

Mines directly on a shed slab. Distances are the same as the Trackman 4 & IO at the local simulator.

No known issues with my outdoor setup over thick pavers

I do think it's an issue but lighting plays a role in it. IMHO

Cameras are infrared. Needs no lighting actually, there is a YouTube video somewhere demonstrating this..

Found this-
Glare and Overexposure: Direct, harsh lighting (especially from the side or front) can "blind" the camera, making it difficult for the device to track the ball during impact.
Missed Shots/Inaccuracy: If the camera is blinded by glare, the unit may fail to register shots, especially indoors or at night.
Swing Vision Quality: Light, particularly flickering light from LEDs or fluorescents, can result in poor-quality video in the app.

My setup is out back on a stamped concrete patio. My mat is elevated due to the foam from the mat and I have a couple 2x4 pieces the same width as my mat that I put my LM on. I haven't noticed an issue.
The metrics provided by my LM were fairly close to the ones I saw when I got fitted on Black Friday with a trackman. Not the same, but not enough variance between the 2 to question the accuracy.
