This combo pairs the ProTee VX Overhead Golf Launch Monitor with the BenQ AK800ST, BenQ’s 5,000-lumen AI-tuned 4K golf projector. It covers tracking, display and impact protection on one order, and leaves the enclosure, impact screen, and hitting mat open so the rest of the bay can follow the room.

Ceiling-mounted, markerless, 24 data points, perpetual ProTee Labs license, two swing cameras included.
BenQ AK800ST 4K AI Short-Throw Golf Simulator Projector

VX Protector — ProTee VX Impact Shield by Forward Design
Powder-coated steel frame with a toughened clear polycarbonate face, purpose-built for the ProTee VX.

ProTee VX — overhead, markerless, floor clear
ProTee VX mounts above the hitting zone and tracks club and ball with dual high-speed cameras and AI-powered analysis. Nothing sits on the floor, nothing needs a marker or a sticker, and handedness switches without moving the unit.
Ceiling-Mounted Overhead Design
Mounts overhead with nothing on the floor, which leaves the hitting zone completely clear and removes any device the club can strike.
Markerless Club And Ball Tracking
Dual high-speed cameras with AI-powered tracking read the club and ball directly. No marked balls, no club stickers, no consumables.
24 Measured And Calculated Data Points
8 measured club data points, 7 measured ball data points, and 9 calculated flight data points, plus AI-powered insights inside ProTee Labs.
Under 0.3 Second Shot Feedback
Ball flight appears on screen fast enough that the shot reads as continuous with the swing rather than as a delayed replay.
Instant Handedness Switching
Right- and left-handed play switches in seconds with no repositioning of the unit and no separate calibration routine.
Perpetual ProTee Labs License
ProTee Labs is included outright with no recurring software fees — practice range, bag mapping, wedge matrix, dispersion stats, and dual-screen visualizers.
ProTee VX needs a 9 ft to 10 ft ceiling window for overhead mounting. Ceilings above 10 ft require an extender mount. Mounting, wiring, and calibration steps are on the ProTee VX setup and support page.
Every ProTee VX ordered from Elite Sim Golf includes a set of two ProTee swing cameras at no additional cost, a $600 value, while supplies last. Tripods and camera mounts are sold separately.
BenQ AK800ST — AI-tuned 4K for the home sim room
The AK800ST brings BenQ AI Sim Sense™ into the core of the golf lineup. A built-in AI processing unit reads the course on screen, the room light, and the impact screen, then tunes color, contrast, and clarity automatically. It pairs 5,000 ANSI lumens and true 4K UHD with the same 0.69–0.83:1 short-throw geometry as the AK700ST and camera-driven Auto Screen Fit 2.0 with curved-screen support.
AI Sim Sense™ Processing
A built-in APU powers AI Picture Quality, AI-Enhanced Contrast, AI Super Resolution, and AI Noise Reduction for sharper grass texture and deeper contrast without manual tuning.
5,000 Lumens For Lit Rooms
A step up from the AK700ST’s 4,000 lumens, with strong ambient-light resistance so the course stays sharp and colorful with the lights on.
Auto Screen Fit 2.0
ToF sensing and an onboard camera detect the impact screen’s exact geometry, flat or curved, and snap to a distortion-free fill. Smart warping refines curved screens point by point.
Auto Focus + Golf Mode
One-touch motorized autofocus, an Ambient Light Enhancer, and BenQ Golf Mode with HDR Golf reproduce natural fairway greens and bunker sand at 97% Rec. 709.

The AK800ST has no optical lens shift, so plan the mount centered on the screen and let Auto Screen Fit 2.0, 3D Keystone, and Corner Fit handle final alignment. Run the numbers through the projector fitment tool and throw calculator before drilling. At roughly 13 lbs, the AK800ST works with the BenQ Universal Ceiling Mount CM00G3 (sold separately).
Forward Design VX Protector — included in this combo
An overhead launch monitor lives in the flight path of every mishit. The Forward Design VX Protector puts a thick steel frame and a toughened clear polycarbonate screen between the ProTee VX and the ball without changing how the unit reads a shot.
Steel + Polycarbonate Build
Powder-coated steel frame with a shatter-resistant clear polycarbonate face that absorbs ball strikes.
Zero Impact On Readings
Nothing in the assembly sits in the sensor path in a way that changes ball speed, club data, or spin readings.
Hook-On, Airflow, Rear Access
Hooks on for a secure install, keeps heat venting normally, and leaves rear sockets and the power button reachable.

What exactly comes in this combo?
One ProTee VX Overhead Golf Launch Monitor, one BenQ AK800ST 4K short-throw projector, one Forward Design VX Protector. Projector mounting hardware and HDMI/power cabling are sold separately.
How do I confirm the AK800ST fits my room?
Use the Elite Sim Golf projector fitment tool and throw calculator. The AK800ST’s 0.69–0.83:1 throw ratio and 1.2× motorized zoom give placement latitude, but it has no optical lens shift, so the mount should be centered on the screen and the exact lens-to-screen distance depends on screen size and aspect ratio.
What ceiling height does the ProTee VX need?
ProTee VX is designed for overhead mounting inside a 9 ft to 10 ft ceiling window. Ceilings taller than 10 ft need an extender mount. Full mounting detail is on the ProTee VX setup and support page.
Does the ProTee VX require a subscription?
No. The ProTee Labs license is perpetual and included with the launch monitor. There are no recurring software fees to keep using the unit.
Are the two ProTee swing cameras included?
Yes. Every ProTee VX shipped by Elite Sim Golf includes a set of two ProTee swing cameras at no additional cost while supplies last. Tripods and camera mounts are sold separately.
What does the Forward Design VX Protector add?
A thick powder-coated steel frame and a toughened clear polycarbonate face between the ProTee VX and mishits. It hooks on, keeps airflow and rear sockets accessible, and does not change how the unit reads a shot.
Is Elite Sim Golf an authorized ProTee reseller?
Yes. The ProTee VX serial number and ProTee Labs activation code are emailed automatically when the order ships.
When does the BenQ AK800ST ship?
The AK800ST is a pre-order item expected to ship mid-November 2026. Elite Sim Golf confirms ship timing for every component after the order is placed.

No. Projector mounting hardware and HDMI/power cabling are sold separately. At about 13 lbs, the AK800ST works with the BenQ CM00G3 universal ceiling mount.
What warranty applies?
