The Optoma ZK521ST-B packs 4K visuals, 5,000 lumens into a short throw, laser-powered projector that's sits out of the way when you swing.

Optoma ZK521ST-B Features

4K Clarity

Native 4K resolution delivers sharp, detailed visuals so you can see everything from the fairway to your simulator data.

Lumens for Days

Just as happy in your home as in a commercial setting, the Optoma ZK521ST-B has 5,000 lumens to keep your screen bright and vivid, even in settings with a little too much ambient light.

Laser Focused

DuraCore laser technology provides consistent brightness and vivid color for up to 30,000 hours, with no lamp replacements required. Add instant on/off and lower power use, and you've got a projector that’s content doing its thing while you focus on your swing. 

Smart Fit

Smart Fit uses your smartphone’s camera to detect the screen frame and automatically adjust the projected image for a better fit. Less fiddling with settings means less tylenol for you.

How It Works

Exceptional Projection, Every Time

The ZK521ST-B takes the guesswork out of getting your picture lined up with smart tools that make screen alignment quick and easy.

  • Smart Fit - Use your smartphone camera to detect the screen frame and auto-correct the image alignment.
  • Smart Move - Auto detect obstacles and seamlessly reposition the projection to a clear, unobstructed area for continued visibility.
  • H/V Keystone - Adjusts trapezoid shaped images caused by angled projection. An intuitive slide dial allows quick adjustment of vertical and horizontal alignment.
  • Four Corner Adjustment - Correct image distortion by tapping and dragging any corner to reshape the frame in real time.

Mounting Considerations

Flush to the Ceiling

Mounting your projector flush to the ceiling is a popular choice for golf simulators. It stays clear of your swing path and helps minimize shadows, making for a cleaner setup.

Drop Mount

For high ceilings or precise height adjustments, drop mounting is an ideal solution. This setup allows you to lower your projector to the perfect height, ensuring an optimal view for your simulator.

Enclosure Mount

For a sturdy, streamlined setup, consider mounting your projector directly to the frame of a Carl's Place Pro Enclosure. This method provides solid support, extra protection, and a sleek, clean appearance.
