You know how many times I've heard this? Probably know a dozen people in the last 12 months tell me this. Still I didn't pay attention and mine broke after a week of using it. If you buy one buy a roll of duct tape while you're at it.

Here's what I came up with for my Freetrack setup, you could probably do the same for your track ir, it's made of good ol' fashion wood with some velcro.

In the old days I used also a stick-out-thingy for my Trackir2 reflector. Attached to the top of the headset headband, it stuck out in front with the reflector on the end to improve the sensitivity. "Dick-head" came to mind, as my then 12 year old daughter pointed out

It was also used by other IL-2'ers I know but I won't name them

The Pro Clip is only a waste of money if you're incurably clumsy, the benefits far outweigh the need to be careful with it. It could of course be better designed and made of aluminium I suppose.

There was a picture in the IL2 1946 EXTRAs DVD. It had one of the developers with a strange looking Track IR reflector which reminded me of a small serving spoon dangling on his nose. I always wondered how that worked. It was before 6Dof, and now that that is incorporated into the game, what does he use now?

I have had my trackIR5 for 2years at least and my cats love to nibble on the ends where the light emitting diodes are. But no break or damage yet.

I do treat them with care. The Pro clip not the cats... Furry buggers! get into everything.

cell phone charger cords, macbook charger cord, earbud headphones, messing around behind my pc, you would think they would get zapped but I guess not.

Can vouch for the duct tape it works on mine too
