Hi,

I was considered avoiding the DIY approach for Free Track IR by just purchasing a TrackClip Pro. Before i do so i would just like to make sure that the TrackClip Pro would be as good as anything i could put together myself? (otherwise id feel even more stupid paying so much for it).

They work fine but they all have one weakness.
They have a tendency to break a locking tab even with careful handling.
If you tape the fragile points, this will minimize this from happening.
There are actually two locations where this can happen.
One near the headphone clip and the other just behind the middle led.
These are rotating pivot points.

I will post a picture later.

Thats kind of ridiculous considering the price of the clip.  But if its easy to avoid it using tape, then perhaps it is not so bad. Of course, then again if you have to get the tape out, then you might start considering if its easier to DIY in the first place and save about 50-75% of the clips cost :)
