Swing Caddie SC4 Pro System Requirements: What Do I Need To Run This Golf Launch Monitor?
See why the Swing Caddie SC4 Pro is the easiest sub-$1,000 launch monitor to set up. Our guide shows exactly what’s required—and what’s optional—for a complete experience.
When it comes to golf launch monitor setup, it still doesn’t get any easier than the Swing Caddie SC4 Pro.
Among golf launch monitors under $1,000, the SC4 Pro is uniquely simple. Same beloved built-in screen as the original SC4, same no-subscription ownership model, same included E6 Connect access — now with added spin metrics and a refreshed app experience.
So what do you actually need to run it?
Short answer: the launch monitor itself.
But if you want the full experience (data archiving, 3D range visuals, simulator golf), you’ll pair the SC4 Pro with the new Voice Caddie app and/or E6 Connect. Below, we’ll spell out exactly what’s required and what’s optional so you can be confident the SC4 Pro will fit your setup.
What Are the Swing Caddie SC4 Pro System Requirements?
Because the SC4 Pro includes a built-in display, you can get data right on the device. That means with nothing more than the launch monitor, you can head to the range, place the unit 5 feet behind the ball (with at least 8 feet of ball flight in front), and start measuring shots.
How cool is that?
The included remote (which attaches magnetically to the device) even lets you change clubs, toggle carry/total distances, adjust voice output volume, and make other adjustments without bending down.
But what about if you want to store and organize shot data for later review — or unlock the new spin metrics like spin axis, sidespin, backspin, and dispersion?
For that, you’ll need to pair your SC4 Pro with the Voice Caddie app. It’s available for both iOS and Android devices.
Voice Caddie S App / Apple iOS Compatibility Requirements
- iPhone: iOS 13.0 or later
- iPad: iPadOS 13.0 or later
- iPod Touch: iOS 13.0 or later
- Mac: macOS 11.0 or later and a Mac with Apple M1 chip or later
Voice Caddie S App / Android Compatibility Requirements
- Android 9.0 and up
Simply connect the SC4 Pro to your preferred device via Bluetooth, and you’re ready to start tracking your shots within minutes.
Remember: When paired to the app, the device’s built-in screen will switch to “SIM,” with all data displayed in-app.
Built-In Screen Means Golf Data Anywhere, Anytime
The Swing Caddie SC4 Pro is a very popular option for driving range sessions.
Its built-in screen and extreme portability make it a very useful device for golfers who want a fast, easy, and convenient way to gather shot data.
And because you only need a smartphone or tablet to sync the SC4 Pro with the Voice Caddie S app, you can even access its advanced features, including the new spin metrics and 3D range, pretty much wherever and whenever you want. All without having to pay any kind of annual subscription.
What Do I Need to Run a Swing Caddie SC4 Pro Golf Simulator?
As noted, if you just want to get your shot data, you don’t need anything more than the SC4 Pro itself.
And if you want to go deeper with the experience, including storing and analyzing data, playing simulator golf via the included E6 compatibility, or reviewing swing video, all you need is a smartphone or tablet.
If you’re looking for a simple, affordable, subscription-free, portable, mobile-compatible golf launch monitor, take a close look at the Swing Caddie SC4 Pro. Clearing the system requirements bar with this device couldn’t be easier.
