FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 vs Mevo+: Which Should You Buy in 2026?
GSV no longer offers the Mevo+. The Mevo Gen 2 is the Mevo to buy: better hardware, the same upgrade path and a GSV code. Here is exactly what changed between the two.
The Short Answer
Buy the Mevo Gen 2. It improves on the Mevo+ with double the battery life, USB-C charging, a portrait orientation for better indoor accuracy, and the same upgrade path to the Pro Package and Face Impact Location. The Mevo+ was a great unit, and the Gen 2 is the newer model that GSV offers.
A Mevo+ already in your bag keeps working, with the same Fusion Tracking and the same Pro Package and Face Impact upgrades. For a new purchase, buy the Gen 2 and use code GSVMEVO for 5% off: $1,299 becomes $1,234.05.

The Real Decision: Hardware Improvements That Compound Over Time
The battery difference alone makes the Gen 2 the better unit for most golfers. A 6-hour battery means a full day of use — range session, sim rounds, and a lesson without worrying about charge level. The Mevo+ at 2-3 hours is limiting for longer sessions.
USB-C matters practically. The Mevo+ uses USB-Mini which is increasingly hard to find in a cable bag that has moved entirely to USB-C. Charging an older device with an adapter is a minor annoyance that adds up across hundreds of sessions.
Portrait orientation is the least-discussed improvement but arguably the most impactful for indoor use. The higher sight line gives the radar a better angle on short game shots — chipping and putting tracking is noticeably more consistent on the Gen 2 than the Mevo+ in tight indoor spaces.
And the newer model is the one to buy into. The Gen 2 is the Mevo GSV offers, with code GSVMEVO taking 5% off the unit, the Pro Package and Face Impact Location.
Gen 2 vs Mevo+ FAQ
Should I buy the FlightScope Mevo+ or the Mevo Gen 2 in 2026?
The Mevo Gen 2. GSV no longer offers the Mevo+. The Gen 2 keeps the same Fusion Tracking and the same Pro Package and Face Impact Location upgrades, and adds double the battery life, USB-C charging and a portrait orientation for better indoor short game tracking. Code GSVMEVO takes 5% off the Gen 2: $1,299 becomes $1,234.05.
Do both units support the Pro Package and Face Impact Location?
Yes. The Pro Package and Face Impact Location upgrades are both compatible with the Mevo Gen 2 and the Mevo+. This is actually one of FlightScope's better decisions — they opened the Gen 2 to these upgrades that were previously only available on the Mevo+, making the Gen 2 a true replacement rather than a downgrade. If you are planning to add either upgrade, both units support them identically.
Does the Mevo Gen 2 come with fewer E6 courses than the Mevo+?
Yes — the Gen 2 includes 8 E6 Connect courses at lifetime ownership versus 12 on the Mevo+. This is the one area where the Mevo+ has a slight edge on the base package. In practice the difference is minor — additional E6 courses can be purchased, and most simulator-focused buyers are using GSPro or TGC 2019 rather than E6 as their primary platform. It is worth noting but not a reason to choose the Mevo+ over the Gen 2.
Is there a discount code for the FlightScope Mevo Gen 2?
Yes. Use code GSVMEVO at the official FlightScope store for a saving on the Mevo Gen 2, Pro Package, and bundles. Use Jay's direct link to apply it automatically. See the full discount code page for details.
How does the Gen 2 compare to the Mevo+ for indoor simulator use?
The Gen 2 is better indoors for two reasons: the portrait orientation gives a higher sight line that improves chipping and putting tracking, and the 6-hour battery means you can run full simulator sessions without monitoring charge level. The Mevo+ works well indoors with proper setup but the shorter battery and landscape orientation are genuine limitations compared to the Gen 2 in a dedicated indoor setup.
The Gen 2 is the right call for almost everyone. Use code GSVMEVO to save — or email Jay if you are still deciding.
