Wedge Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have recently epoxied BOTH of mine. I very rarely changed the angles so decided to fix it permanently. Feels really solid and works brilliantly. $3.00 rather than $35.00... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk0425 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 BIC Pens, Wire, 3 LEDs, Large Tension Clip, Hot Glu/Elec. Tape., Schematics (avail. online, google), About an hour, Make your Own Track Clip Pro. Cut and Glue/Melt Pen Shafts together to the dimensions of the original Pro Clip. Solder wires to the LEDs, Run the wires through the pens to the central point, soldier the pos/negs together to make one pos and one neg lead, connect a 1.5v battery pack (AA Bay Should work)., hot Glue/tape the tension clip to the unit, and use the tension clip to mount to Headphones. Thank you so much! Was about to ask if it was possible to make your own. I never bothered with the the clip since I heard how flimsy they were. Will any IR LED do or is there a specific one needed?

jerda Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The TIR reflector works better for me because I don't have to recharge my batteries or wear a power cord. I just tape them on top of my wireless headphones and i'm done. I used freetrack for years with the ps3 cam. I've made my own clips, bought, broke and repaired the Tir Clips. Now, instead, i'm using TIR5 with the reflector and have had much better results all around. Making your own clip is fun and cheap, but can be frustrating.

Ditto, Enhanced Reflector without a Hat Brim (Taped to Headphones) Works great for me.

kk0425 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm not worried about difficulty. The reflector works fine for me too but am just curious if there is any benefit to using LEDs instead (better tracking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
