Get the ProCilp if you can afford it. It has three LEDs which means the detection levels are set much lower than the passive reflector-on-a-hat so you won't suffer from ambient light problems. It clips onto the left hand side of the headband just above the earpiece.

I absolutly hate the ProClip. So I guess it depends on personal taste.

I hated it orginally as well but once I set it up properly I wouldn't go back to the other style. I find that ambient light doesn't interfere at all now. It's spot on.

I'm truly amazed. Why is that?

S!

Adds another wire I guess and it's construction is not the sturdiest one. I already had to use "super glue" to make the led "lever" stick etc. The wires I bundled with the headphone wires to a neat cable, so no real problem there. Wireless is not an option for me, in copper I trust!

Otherwise TrackClip Pro is a good thing, less interference with backlight as you can adjust the light filter so that only the tracking IR goes thru etc. After setting up TIR it is a breeze to use and sure helps. Feel handicapped without it and have noted I have tried to turn my head while watching videos..LOL!

Of course FT is worth the weight of your webcam and IR emitter (if you have one) in gold.

Is the track clip pro worth the extra £20 in the bundle deals. Do you have 6dof because of the clip pro or do you have it anyway?

In my room I sit facing the side with the window and there is rarely much light coming in as the curtain is permanently drawn on that side of the room. I would describe the general lighting around my PC as adequate but it is never bright at any time of day with or without the light on (light is a few feet away at my 10 o clock). Does that sound like a situation where the clip pro would benefit most or not?

You have it anyway.

It really comes down to whether you want to wear a cap all the time, or a headset all the time.

So the actual movement quality is not much better with the track clip pro?

I can vouch for FaceTrackNoIR's awesomeness.

It's a great alternative to those who don't want to spend a bunch on TrackIR or want to try out the whole headtracking thing before purchasing hardware.

FaceTrackNoIR is freeware, requires only a webcam (PS3 Eye for best results), and a human(?) face.

Works great and smoothly once you dial your settings in.
