On the remote, I'm pretty sure the intent is to press down on the remote for the indent, and not pry the remote out. That's why the have the indent as well as the indent in the bottom of the speaker under the remote, to allow the remote to pop up when pressed on that side and then it just slides out of the unit!
To mitigate the screen issue you mentioned - mount the speaker on the top front rail of the cart (above your head in front of you). This will give perfect screen clarity and sound for the entire cart it’s the perfect spot.
Appreciate the review. I am walking more now since I bought the Alphard V2 and converted my Clic Gear 3.5 plus cart to accommodate this new technology. I do have a laser and do enjoy having music while I am walking. What I liked about this is I can have music and have yardages to the front, middle and back of the green. Critical for my level of play. I am a scratch golfer. I use the laser for pinpoint yardages but I want those additional yardages to select clubs better. The review here was more his preferences but I think it was designed for overall golf specific features, which on the surface, it appears it does. I just got mine and I will provide an update. Was just going to buy the phantom 2 for those front, middle and back yardages buy why not get the speaker too! It was only $40 more as I got the unit for $169 at Dicks on sale. I agree, having an additional attachment system for walkers was not a good idea. How difficult would it have been to include one? Overall it looks to be well designed for what I am looking for.
Might I suggest a StickIt magnetic landing pad? It is a large surface that you can put anything magnetic. I use it for towel, GPS and the speaker. Works well (you can even have 2 landing surfaces on each edge of your bag).
Shan great vid , i played all 11 championship courses including the par 3 in which i got pretty lucky to play that once. (played most of the 11 courses alot of times over an 18 months period. ) TOP Courses - 5. Els Course 4. Leadbetter Course 3. Norman Course 2. Ozaki Course 1. Olazabal Course
If you want to see the screen when you are in a cart, simply place it on the metal windscreen piece near the roof. It is just like getting GPS from A course owned system. I love mine.
Is the magnet better than the old one ? When going over a bumpy are, my old Wingman would fall off, that’s how I lost the remote. I could fit the old one in a cupholder, the new one will not fit in one.
Sean - On the first gen, if you push down on one side of the remote it pops up (the side with the indent). I’m guessing on the new gen the remote doesn’t do that?
Purchased this about 2 weeks ago, Have already had to replace the battery in the remote twice.. So far I'm not a fan because of that but overall its a cool little gadget to get yardage
if you're mounting on the passenger side, mouth it upside down. it has a gyro so will flip the display and will be pointed toward the inside of the cart.
I got one for Christmas. I HATE it! Now I need my phone to play music and park over my golf ball to get the yardage or park and carry this huge thing then put it back. So cumbersome. Just give me a number on a screen and a USB port for music.....jeez, is it really that hard? I went and a got a Phantom...another $100.
You can flip the speaker ups ride down and turn it to position the screen on the left or right side. The remote is “too secure”!?!? Bahah. This speaker sounds too good. I hate it.
I keep wanting to listen to your reviews. BUT, you are way to wordie. I look for people to show what the item does how it works not to go on and on then repeat old data. Just a thought.
