Uneekor EYE MINI vs. EYE MINI LITE vs. EYE MINI CORE: Which Fits Your Room and Budget?
Published
The CORE is the cheapest way to start with ball data, the LITE adds club data for indoor use, and the full EYE MINI adds battery power, iOS and outdoor use. On Uneekor's store the CORE costs $1,199, the LITE $1,699 and the EYE MINI $1,999 on sale (checked November 8, 2026). Club data on the CORE is a one-time $1,500 unlock, so if you want club numbers, the LITE costs less.
For third-party simulator software, budget for Uneekor's Pro package ($199 a year) or higher on top of the unit. The LITE and CORE come with a year of GSPro.
All three are ground units. To switch between right- and left-handed golfers, you move the unit to the other side of the hitting area.

Placement and software
All three sit on the floor beside the ball, and none needs marked balls. Uneekor's support page says a ground unit switches handedness by moving to the opposite side of the hitting area, so it only serves one side if you fix it to the floor (Uneekor support). If you hit from both sides, leave room on both sides of the mat and don't bolt the unit down.
The EYE MINI page's Space Requirements section is about portability: the unit is built to travel and can be used indoors or outdoors (EYE MINI). Size the room from your swing, the screen and the enclosure, and ask Uneekor if you need a figure for a particular model.
The software tiers are the same across the three. Pro ($199 a year) is the lowest tier with the third-party connector, Pro+ ($299) adds a year of GSPro, Champion is $399, Champion+ $499, Ultimate $599 and Ultimate+ $699, all billed annually (EYE MINI). Carl's Place notes that you need Pro or higher to use the included year of GSPro (Carl's Place CORE page).
What each adds
EYE MINI CORE
The CORE reads 15 ball metrics, including ball speed, launch, spin and carry. Club data needs the one-time $1,500 Club Data Unlock and club stickers; 1,280 stickers come in the box (Uneekor, CORE). It needs a Windows PC and a wired Ethernet connection. Ask Uneekor whether it supports putting before you count on it.
EYE MINI LITE
The LITE uses two high-speed infrared cameras and reports 19 data points covering both ball and club, including club speed, smash factor, club path and attack angle. The free Player package includes ball data, club data, the VIEW virtual driving range, 100 Power U reports and a single profile. A three-month Ultimate package and a year of GSPro come with it. The LITE is listed for indoor use only.
EYE MINI
With the full EYE MINI, the free Player package covers ball and club data and the VIEW virtual range. Course play and third-party simulators need Pro or higher. The page lists putting analysis, battery power, an on-unit display and PC, Android or iOS connection, and says marked balls are not needed. The box includes a carrying case with a strap, a 9 ft power cable with adapter and connector, a CAT6 Ethernet cable, an alignment rod, tweezers and 1,280 club stickers.
Cost over three years
These totals add three years of Pro at $199 a year to each Uneekor sale price. Sales tax and shipping are left out, and the included trials are not subtracted.
| Model | Hardware | Pro, 3 years (3 × $199) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| EYE MINI (sale price) | $1,999 | $597 | $2,596 |
| EYE MINI (list price) | $4,500 | $597 | $5,097 |
| EYE MINI LITE | $1,699 | $597 | $2,296 |
| EYE MINI CORE, ball data only | $1,199 | $597 | $1,796 |
| EYE MINI CORE with Club Data Unlock | $2,699 | $597 | $3,296 |
With the unlock, the CORE costs $1,000 more than the LITE, and both need a PC. Champion would cost $1,197 over three years (3 × $399) and Ultimate $1,797 (3 × $599), in place of the $597 Pro figure.
If you only want the VIEW range with ball numbers, the free Player package covers that on all three, and the subscription line drops out.
Which to buy
Choose the CORE if ball speed, launch, spin and carry are what you practice with and you don't expect to want club data. At $1,199 it is the cheapest of the three.
Choose the LITE if you want club path, attack angle and smash factor and the unit will stay indoors. It is cheaper than a CORE with the club unlock, and its free Player package already covers club data. If you'd like a second indoor unit at a similar price to compare it with, Omaha Sports & Games lists the Bushnell Golf LPi Launch Pro i Indoor Golf Simulator Launch Monitor at $1,999.99 (October 23, 2026); ask Bushnell which club data it reports and what its software costs per year before setting it against the LITE's $2,296 three-year total.
The full EYE MINI suits a golfer who wants one unit for the garage and the range, or who would rather run it from an iPad than a PC. At the sale price it costs $300 more than the LITE. The sale has a large gap to the $4,500 list price, so check the price on the day you buy.
If you don't plan to run third-party simulator software or play courses, the $199 a year is optional on all three.
