Track Clip Pro LED Head Tracker for TrackIr units

works with trackhat and opentrack on linux. the only element that is simply plug-and-play.

I first started using trackir with the hat clip, worked great for the time but as a started wearing glasses the camera was tracking my glasses. As it was tracking my glasses it started to mess with the tracking while trying to look around so i decided to buy this. Works amazingly! Worked right out of the box, could use my previous settings from the hat clip and the tracking itself is much smoother and has a far better range of motion. If you dont have trackir yet definitely buy the pro bundle. Only complaints i have is the material definitely feels flimsy and cheap but i just keep it clipped on my headphones and dont mess with it. It also feels like it should be alot cheaper but its the only competitor right now so cant complain too much. Other than that, the product works great! Very much recommended

outstanding item. Bought it as a replacement for my original purchase 9 years ago.

First I have to admit, I only purchased any version of head tracking for nights when I can't be bothered to put on my VR headset, or it is too hot for it. I originally started with a DelanClip for a cheaper entry into IR tracking. That setup worked okayyy, but even though DelanClip offered a more sturdy product (aluminum chassis vs. plastic) you had to shape it yourself and when doing that, the IR lights become almost impossible to align properly. So after a little time, I decided to pick up the Track Clip Pro and compare experiences. -While I would say both IR units worked perfectly fine, I felt the Track Clip Pro provided a smoother tracking and more consistent. -Adjustable movement on Track Clip Pro allowed for more options in getting a clean and interference free track. -Clip for headset is both a pro and a con. Pro: it seems to be able to fit a lot of the more popular headset brands out there with it's adjustable clip. The CON is that clip is preeeeetty thin and flimsy, so be careful if you are not able to close the clip, make sure it's not binding, because if you snap that clip it's back to Amazon to get yourself a new one. Overall, it's a good buy especially if you maybe went with the cheaper PSEye camera option with the IR filters modded. Also for those who purchased TIR5 but not the bundle, as I have heard this is much better than the clip for hats that is supplied with TIR5 base package. Cheap price but also cheap materials, so be careful. Also, don't know if this was just the seller or how they all ship, but it was just the Track Clip Pro, a small info sheet, and minimal shipping material in the box, was thankful it wasn't broken from shipping.

I have used Track IR for years, using just the plain jane hat clip it came with and really had no issues other than during summer it was a little warm to be wearing a hat indoors. So after about 4 years of it, and noticing the stickers starting to peel and cause IR refraction, i decided to give this a go. I initially thought this was a bit pricey for something that just reflected IR, as I thought it was pretty much the same as the hat clip. However, the Track clip Pro actually has powered Red LED's, You can adjust the brightness and the receptiveness through the Track IR software, and you ca set it up just by clicking the Track Clip Icon and telling the software to center view. you do have to move your Track IR Receiver off set to whichever side of the head you use it on, and in my case I like to look down a lot, so I actually have the track clip adjusted to point upward. It works perfectly every time I go to use it, and the receiver picks it up even with interference such as a reflective shirt, because it actually has red LED's easier to pick up than IR reflectors, My only complaint is that is does take up a USB to power the LED's but I'm under belief that you could get away with just using a powered USB from anything, and not necessarily the PC, if you so wished, although I haven't tested this. For me it was a non-issue as I have hubs and extenders all over my flight sim rig. It seems pretty durable for what it is, Thicker headsets may not work great with it, as it does open up pretty big but has very firm foam, I use AKG K240's and they work really well with this, and other Wireframe headsets, so beware of this. If I have any sort of issues in the future I will update my review, but so far it is a wonderful upgrade.

Works well. A bit pricey considering it is not a whole lot better than the hat clip that comes with TrackIR. The primary difference is that the PRO clip is better at the extremes of your head movements. For example, in the F18, when you want to look up through the canopy in a dogfight, the hat clip will spaz out but the PRO clip will maintain head track. Your mileage may vary.

It comes on a generic package but the item itself is labeled as track IR. Let's put it this way, I've used 3D printed ones in the past that come with the modified Ps3 Camera. The fact that this has an arm that swivels, a USB cable that splits to feed the tracking camera and a much longer cable makes it so much more comfortable that I don't have to think about it. The clip doesn't have springs it just locks with a latch and a nice sponge that holds the device to your headphones. The LED arm does not decouple either like it is shown in some pictures here, so I've no complaints. I don't have to think about, it's one of those pieces of hardware that does what it needs to do well enough that you don't notice it anymore. Exactly what you're looking for. If you have an issue with tracking, is your lightning or something reflecting upon your IR camera. Nothing like what I had to deal with zip ties in the past, ugh!!

This is a great replacement for the flimsy designed original unit that costs a fortune. It is sturdy and well made and works very well

TrackIR works so much better with the Clip Pro. I would’ve bought the one that already comes with it if I had known.

Had to wait for the Tracking camera to arrive to review. Clip is a touch flimsy to attach to the headphone, but this method is better than the reflector TrackClip. Get this with the tracking IR camera. This is the way to go.

Works great!

Had trouble setting it up.
