Thanks for the feedback but the dimensions is more or less what i've been looking for, since i seem to have lost my measuring tape and can't take them myself
Also, i've searched online before asking here and i've found all sorts of conflicting information about what dimensions to use.
Measure it.
If it helps, trace it on paper and then measure the outline.

There's also something else that's confusing me a bit. I selected the 3 point clip and i see the graph where you input the clip's dimensions. Below that there's 3 more sliders labeled horizontal, vertical and depth, which i guess are supposed to tell the interface how far away i'm sitting from the cam.The entire field is labeled "model position: distance from head pivot (center of head, just below ear) to model translation point R", which i can't really figure out. Does it refer to my actual head or the 3d-head i see in the software (i assume the first, but why not ask and be sure)? Also, what's the point R?
No, it's not about your position relative to the camera, it's about the distance the TIR clip is from the pivot of your head.

Modifying the camera is not something i'm willing to do. So, if i don't remove the IR filter can i just make do with a piece of film or floppy disk material that i will use whenever i want to run a flight sim?
Also, if i make adjustments to the camera's settings will these apply only to when freetrack is using the camera? Or will they apply on a global basis, which means i'll have to revert to my original settings whenever i want to use the camera in its original role?
I dunno...why don't you try it and find out?
