Natural Point TrackIR 4 Pro Head Tracking System

LOVE THIS THING! I had this for a long while now. Used it with MS Flight Sim X, Elite Dangerous, DCS World, Star Citizen, and ARMA 3.It works great. No cons for what I used it for. Software is somewhat easy for beginners but there are a lot of major configuration options for the advanced.When I got this the hat clip was missing a reflector and it still worked for a long while till excess light cause a problem. I got in contact with Natural Point. They asked for the serial number and a few pics of the clip and the serial number of the unit it self and I got my new clip within a week.(Could have paid extra for faster shipping.)I know this isn't the one for sale anymore but the 5 pro is slightly better and is the followup to this.

I use this to play Wings over Flanders Field. Generally it's alright during setup... generally. But the amount of times I've been in a dogfight and suddenly my camera is looking 90 degrees in the wrong direction or I lose contact entirely makes me want to smash my monitor.Track IR is better than just using keys to switch your view around, but it's really dodgy and I've never felt as though I can trust it.

The only reason I don't give 5 stars is simply because there are a few minor bugs that I have yet to work out. This may simply be attributed to my unfamiliarity with the program. This may also be resolved by tweaking the position of the sensor slightly. With that being said it is fantastic when playing simulators such as IL-2 BoS. I would most certainly recommend this to friends

Don't get me wrong, I love TrackIR, and I actually went with the 4 over the 5 initially to save money. The one I got may have been defective or something, as it was quite a bit jittery (there was no sun or anything behind me, even my 5 acts up when there's sun behind me), and it just wasn't as smooth or accurate as I'd like for my sim flying. I almost immediately returned this and upgraded to a TrackIR 5 a week later, and I couldn't have been happier.If you are buying a TrackIR now, and price is an option, by all means the 4 is servicable... but if you want smoothness and the newest tech, I would go with the 5.

If you're looking at this product page, chances are very good you've already done some research into what a TrackIR does. It's bad of me to be cliche, but you really cannot understand what it's like to be able to move your head and have it naturally correspond to the movement of your player's head inside the simulation until you do it. Tasks that require rapidly looking around a cockpit in an airplane become extraordinarily easy, and it frees up whatever control is normally bound to head movement, usually the numpad or an extra hat switch on a joystick.It may be hard to locate a TrackIR 4, mine came on the market gently used after I'd been looking for some months. Additionally, some fiddling is required with the settings, but it's easy and reasonably intuitive to set up the software to read your head movements correctly.

Was disappointed in the device because in the description it never mentioned that you had to be very close to your tv / computer monitor for the tracker sensor to pick up the PS4 camera, people have different gaming setups in their home (some sit close and some are far from their tv's) and the tracker description should have been specific on how far the maximum distance should be so the PS4 camera can still pick up the sensors on the tracker itself to enjoy the gaming experience.

I purchased this to use for a popular truck simulator. The camera mount left a little to be desired. I had to tape it to my tv for it to stay. No big deal. The functionality is perfect. It allows me to be much more immersed in the game. Its much more natural to look where you want to go rather than trying to look with steering cameras, or blinker cameras.

Works as expected. Very smooth. Adds new dimension to flying games.
