Track IR

Just buy some cheap rings and glue a bead painted with reflective paint on them.

What do you plan to use the rings for garsands?

The problem I have is the main unit wobbles about on the base, the rings are at the top of the base that fits into the main unit.

I have taken it apart tonight & I can see it's a new base that I need & not the rings as there are or was in my case two little pins that the rings go around have snapped off.

The base costs $7 so still cheap.

The track IR works fine, it just takes a while to line it up so it does not drop to one side as it can no longer support it's own weight.

Just bugs me that it's broken, so it's no big deal if there is no UK parts supplier.

Just re read your post & I now see the rings are not used for what I thought they where ment for.

I feel the need to get one of these, since my situational awareness is a bit **** with a mouse.

If this worked with BF3 aircraft, I'd buy it in a heart beat.

May have to come to that in the end.
£100 piece of kit held togeather with blu tack.
Did you place it inside of the unit or on the outside stuck to the monitor?

is trackir5 worth it over trackir 4 device?

garsands · 28 Jun 2012 at 11:21

I think 5 is ment to be smoother movements then 4

I have ir4 & it's seems smooth.
