track ir 5 or track ir 5 clip pro ?

[JG52Uther]

I use the hat, and I hate wearing hats! The pro clip is fragile, over priced, and wired.

try all head movements..make sure all dots remain visible + make sure you don't see any spurious light artifacts.

I routinely check this before every session..never have a problem in game.

I do use the active clip..very pleased with it and in the past was happy with the cap reflectors, but having the clip on the headset is a cooler experience.

The clip is more dependable than the reflectors and doesn't suffer from sunlight problems. Just need to spend a little time experimenting or even borrow someone else's profile. Be sure to position the camera in front of the earphone that carries the clip, not in the centre of the monitor.

I have TrackIR4 with TrackIR5 software. I do get very slight juddering when I scan around the terrain but that doesn't happen of I keep my head still and watch the terrain as I fly a turn. I guess its a TrackIR resolution or interface problem but its very slight and doesn't really bother me.

The clip works well for me ,just took Klems advice and moved the sensor in line with my head-phone and clip.Works even better now.Thamks Klem:

I upgraded from TrackIR 3 with hat to TrackIR 5 with clip about three weeks ago and can't stop talking about the improvements.
I have the camera on the left of my monitor, inline with the clip..
Default settings. 24" monitor.
The thing works flawlessly. No jitteriness at all, even when zoomed in on cockpit while I am setting compass, gunsights, etc.

I can't imagine any improvement at this point, except virtual reality glasses or a full blown holodeck...
I must confess, I am saving up for a holodeck tho...

The clip just has too many wires for me

Hate hats but after a short time I forget I am even wearing it. Until the wife comes in a laughs

Pro clip is a waste of money and it has a cable. Since I was switching to a desktop microphone I'm happy to don't have any cables any more around my head. Just take the cap-clip, it's enough.

Same for me, it wasn't reliable. Also, it broke quickly, because of its flimsy construction. Stay with the cap, imo. The clip pro is a waste of money.

I love my pro clip, I to had the dead zones, but you just need to adjust the camera to the best position to not be blocked by your head when turning, or adjust the movements so you dont need to turn so much.

As for the durability of the clip, I snapped mine to my headset and it stays there, I clipped the wires to the wires on my head set and no problem, I honestly dont know how rough some are being with the clip to break it?
