blackbelter Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Hope you can get a longer fuze in the next update...
snuffles Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) haha, you think you have a short fuse? check out Torino's posts, lol But back to the topic - don't feel bad man. TrackClip Pro's break erry day. Best not to get a new one, rather replace the armature with something more sturdy. I'm sure you've got the will and the wherewithal to do so. Save yourself another $50 spent on crap. Edited January 17, 2014 by Tasselhoff I want to earn more negative reputation I don't always openly list my things. But when I do, I put it in my signature.

lobo Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Epoxy works great for fixing broke tir as well. That's how I fixed mr tir clip. They are fragile and easy to break.

Irregular programming Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 The pro-clip is so low quality it's amazing that it's even allowed to be sold. The sooner naturalpoint gets some competition and goes under the better, that company is one of the worst.
bumfire Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Lol, another track shit pro bites the dust. Mine deaded itself a couple years ago, things are cheap pieces of shit, wait, I should say expensive pieces of shit, because for the exorbitant price you pay you get the weakest plastic in china with 3 leds and a promise that sooner rather than later the thing will break on you.

It's a fragile piece of :helpsmilie:, but I'm NOT going back to wearing a cap. I don't understand this, the cap is even better in most ways. The track clip doesn't even provide better tracking. It's such a POS it's insulting.

Irregular programming Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Please elaborate. I have had three track clips, first one was broken when I took it out of the packaging, the second one broke after a month, the third one after a week (or something like that), I then stopped even bothering returning them since I found almost no practical difference in tracking from the cap and the track clip, I thought maybe I could use it and have some background light but the track IR still won't let me filter it out as the camera just wasn't good enough. Also the track clip is for some inexplicable reason (to save money) powered by a USB cable, which is to short and always in the way. On top of that they charge 50$ for it, which is insane considering. The cap works just as well, is included, does not come in the way, and does not break. On top of that I don't have to squabble in the store every other month to get a new led lamp to put on my head. The track clip pro is a cash grab, it's so cheap to make that the money they make from it far outweighs any badwill they get, they afford it because naturalpoint squashes any kind of competition and because of that there not being much of a choice when it comes to head-tracking in games. That's pretty much my take on it. Edited January 22, 2014 by Irregular programming

How does all of that equate to 'even better in most ways'? None of us disagree about it being fragile, so... Btw, I find the cable length to be just fine. I have one bound to the headphone cable quite nicely.

Btw, I find the cable length to be just fine. I have one bound to the headphone cable quite nicely. The track clip pro, in my opinion, looses in all of these: Cost, Comfort, Durability And ties with the original clip: Tracking ability So yes, I think the track clip pro is worse than the cap. If you are comfortable with it it's fine by me, if anyone finds that the track clip pro works best for them props to you, I just really dislike it from my experiences with it.

Djent33 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I had replaced hats but the old tracker stays, it does what I want it to do with some maintenance, the 3 dot resolution was clear after I had attached 3 pieces from a (normal) high visibility vest and the strips were only small strips, those were bound to the size of that metal thing to look around. Metal head right?
