SimBooth Kit 1 – 4K

SimBooth Kit 1 - 4K

The SimBooth Kit 1 -4K is a turn-key indoor golf simulator kit designed so you can build a premium enclosure, launch monitor, and projector setup in a single, self-install package. It combines a lightweight aluminum structure, full-surface raised floor, crease-free impact screen, and commercial hitting mat with the IDRA II AI overhead launch monitor, 4K Laser BenQ projector (Model: AK700ST), and GSPro golf simulator software (1-year membership). 

Kit 1 is sized for typical garages and bonus rooms, with half-walls for protection, low-bounce screen material, and a layout that’s designed to go from delivered pallet to first tee in under a couple of hours for a handy two-person team.

Projector & PC Requirements (Summary)

Getting Started Guide

1. Confirm room size & clearance

    

   • Measure your space against the minimum room requirements and make sure you have swing clearance for your longest club. 

    

2. Unpack the crate

    

   • Carefully open the 6’ × 4’ × 4’ crate and sort components into groups: structure panels, floor pieces, screen/net, electronics, and hardware.

    

3. Lay out floor and panels

    

   • Place floor panels and wall sections near their final positions to visualize orientation before you start bolting things together. 

    

4. Assemble the enclosure frame

    

   • Build the ceiling sections, then connect top and bottom wall panels and install half-walls as shown in the guide. 

    

5. Install screen, net, and floor

    

   • Stretch the white screen and black impact layer using the integrated Velcro, then install floor panels and hitting mat so everything is flush with the screen.

    

6. Mount IDRA II & projector

    

   • Attach IDRA II to the pre-drilled holes at the front center of the ceiling and install the projector beam or ceiling mount, then mount the projector. 

    

7. Connect power, USB, and HDMI

    

   • Follow the cable diagrams: power + remote switch, USB 3.0/USB-C from IDRA II to the PC, HDMI from PC to projector, and optional USB hub. 

    

8. Install GSPro and GolfIn launcher

    

   • On your PC, install the GolfIn launcher, GSPro, and any required IDRA II drivers; log in with your subscription account.

    

9. Calibrate IDRA II

    

   • Follow the SimBooth step-by-step calibration instructions (using the calibration board) to set hitting zone, alignment, and club/ball tracking.

    

10. Launch your first round

     

    • Select a course in GSPro, check that shot data appears correctly, and fine-tune projector image and brightness to your liking.

     

Product Installation Guide

1. Safety & helpers

    

   • Plan for 4 people, two ladders, and basic tools. Heavy components (ceiling panels, projector, IDRA II) should be lifted by at least two adults. 

    

2. Assemble the ceiling

    

   • On the floor, bolt the left, center, and right ceiling panels together using the supplied bolts, washers, and nuts. 

    

3. Attach upper wall panels

    

   • Fix the left and right top wall panels to the ceiling section. 

    

4. Attach lower wall panels

    

   • Remove the lower wall fabric covers (Velcro), bolt the bottom wall panels to the top panels, then re-attach the covers. 

    

5. Install scissor bar / roof brace

    

   • Unfold the scissor bar, lock it with safety pins, and attach it to each side and the center of the ceiling using bolts and wing nuts. This stiffens the structure before lifting. 

    

6. Raise the structure

    

   • With four people, lift the entire wall/ceiling assembly upright into its final position. 

    

7. Install screen & impact layer

    

   • Use the Velcro to hang the white screen first, then the black impact net, ensuring the net does not rest on the floor to keep bounces predictable. 

    

8. Install floor and hitting mat

    

   • Drop floor sections in the labeled order (1–7). Pull the screen under the front bar and attach to Velcro, then install the hitting mat so it sits level with the floor and screen edge. 

    

9. Install half-walls

    

   • Cut small openings in the carpet where pre-drilled holes are located, insert half-walls, and bolt them to the frame. Re-attach removable lower wall panels with Velcro. 

    

10. Mount IDRA II and elevating bracket

     

    • Bolt the IDRA II mount through the pre-drilled holes in the center front ceiling panel using the provided hardware; attach the IDRA II unit to the bracket. 

     

11. Install projector beam & projector

     

    • Bolt the projector beam to the roof; optionally use the projector enclosure, then follow BenQ’s instructions to secure the projector and align it to the screen. 

     

12. Route and cover cables

     

    • Connect power, HDMI, and USB cables and secure them using the supplied wire cover and Velcro straps to keep cables tidy and protected. 

     

13. Finalize projector and PC settings

     

    • Use NVIDIA Control Panel and Windows display settings to set 1920×1080 (or recommended resolution), adjust aspect ratio, then dial in zoom, keystone, corner fit, and focus.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: Is SimBooth Kit 1 truly self-install, or do I need a professional?

A: The kit is designed for self-installation. SimBooth shows typical installs taking under two hours for a team of two–four capable adults, using the included installation guide.

Q: What room size do I actually need?

A: For Kit 1, SimBooth recommends at least 13’ W × 16’ D × 9’ H, with an ideal room of 15’ W × 22’ D × 10’ H to give extra space for swing and projector throw distance. 

Q: Which software is included, and what else is compatible?

A: Your purchase includes a 1-year GSPro membership with automatic renewal after year one (you can cancel). IDRA II also supports E6 Connect, giving you flexibility on which sim you run.

Q: What kind of computer do I need?

A: SimBooth recommends at minimum an Intel i7 10th-gen CPU (16 logical processors), 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, RTX 20-series GPU, and 2× USB 3.0 + 1× USB-C, with stronger specs (32 GB RAM, RTX 40-series) for best performance. AMD CPUs/GPUs are currently not supported in their recommended configs. 

Q: What data does IDRA II track?

A: IDRA II measures club speed, path, face angles, smash factor, face vs. impact, and face-to-target, plus ball speed, carry, total distance, launch, spin, spin axis, side spin, peak height, descent angle, direction, and deviation.

Q: Do I need special balls or reflective dots?

A: No. One of IDRA II’s benefits is non-marking ball tracking, so you can use your own balls and clubs—no dots, stickers, or specialty balls required.

Q: Can I install the projector on the ceiling instead of the beam?

A: Yes. The package includes a projector beam for structure-mounting, but the projector can also be installed on your ceiling following SimBooth’s recommended distances and BenQ’s mounting instructions.

Q: How is the kit delivered?

A: SimBooth ships the kit in a 6’ × 4’ × 4’ crate to your door. You’ll uncrate, carry panels and hardware to the final room, then follow the installation guide to assemble.
