Does anyone have a problem with the Hatclip AND the Trackclip pro losing view of the reflectors/led when you move your head down and to the left?

It's driving me crazy.

No. Is your camera centered to the Track Clip?? is it front facing camera or rear??

Yes its centered.

I don't understand what "front facing or rear means". Its sitting on top of my monitor at about top of head height.

I dont know what is going on maybe some light refelction from the Track Clip and your Monitor?? On my Setup I have the IR camera behind me which causes some issues but your is front facings..

Besides the track IR be on the fritz I cant think of any other thing besides extra light reflections and the signal gets lost in the light ..

Under Advanced settings in the track IR software program look for Light Filter Threshold, try adjusting that and see if it helps..

TrackIR camera may be mounted too high? Check on the software window at which point it loses track and adjust your camera accordingly.... or adjust your hat.

So I replaced the IT tape with some reflective tape and that seems to have helped a lot. Thanks for all the help.

Sorry, I meant to type "IR" tape, but it isn't that either. Its just reflective tape I got at the hardware store. The top reflector tape was about 60% gone. I've had it for at least 10 years.

seems this might be a fix for me looking at mine the reflective looks really worn on my track clip..

wow what a difference new reflective tape has done.. I bought some from Walmart and just put it back on seems much more stable now..

that is the tape I bought almost like the original tape.. Worked like a charm altho a little hard to peel the backing tape off..
