The Gold Standard in PC Head Tracking — Now with a Free Hat
The Natural Point TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro Bundle is the most complete head tracking kit available for PC simulation and gaming. Six degrees of freedom (6DOF), 120 FPS tracking, 9ms response time, and active LED precision — everything you need to put your head in the game, right out of the box. Choose your free hat in black or white and start tracking in minutes.
Why TrackIR 5 Changes Everything
Mouse-look and hat-switch controls break immersion and slow your reaction time. TrackIR 5 maps your real head movements directly to your in-game camera — look left to check your six, glance right to scan your mirrors, tilt to peek around cover. It's the closest thing to actually being in the cockpit, cab, or turret.
- 6DOF tracking — X, Y, Z translation + pitch, roll, yaw rotation for full spatial awareness
- 120 FPS / 9ms response — sub-frame latency that feels instantaneous
- 96,000 × 72,000 reporting resolution — ultra-precise micro-movements tracked accurately
- 200+ supported games — official TrackIR Enhanced support across flight, racing, truck, and tactical titles
- Fully customizable profiles — tune speed, sensitivity, and curves per axis per game
What's in This Bundle
- TrackIR 5 Camera — mounts on your monitor with magnetic base and adjustable legs
- TrackClip Pro — active LED tracker that clips to your headset for maximum precision
- Free Hat (Black or White) — retro-reflective markers built in; use with or without a headset
- USB Cable — 6 ft connection cable
- Downloadable TrackIR Software — free, with pre-configured game profiles
- User Guide
TrackClip Pro vs. Standard TrackClip — What's the Difference?
This bundle includes the TrackClip Pro — the premium active LED tracker. Here's why it matters:
- TrackClip Pro (this bundle): Active LED markers powered via USB pass-through. Maximum tracking accuracy, works in any lighting condition, clips to your headset. Best for serious simmers and competitive users.
- Standard TrackClip: Passive retro-reflective markers that clip to a hat or headset. Relies on ambient IR light from the camera. Good for casual use; can lose tracking in bright rooms or with glasses.
The free hat included in this bundle also has retro-reflective markers built in — giving you both options in one package. Use the TrackClip Pro on your headset for maximum precision, or the hat when you prefer not to wear a headset.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between TrackIR 5 and TrackIR 4?
TrackIR 5 offers significantly higher reporting resolution (96,000 × 72,000 vs. 46,000 × 34,000), faster tracking speed (120 FPS vs. 100 FPS), and improved precision at the edges of the tracking range. If you're upgrading from TrackIR 4, the difference in smoothness and accuracy is immediately noticeable, especially in fast-moving flight and racing scenarios.
Do I need the TrackClip Pro, or can I just use the hat?
Both work — and this bundle includes both. The TrackClip Pro (active LED) provides superior accuracy in all lighting conditions and is the preferred choice for serious simmers. The hat (passive retro-reflective) is ideal when you prefer not to wear a headset or want a quick setup. Many users keep both and switch depending on the session.
Will TrackIR 5 work with my headset?
The TrackClip Pro clips to most standard over-ear gaming and aviation headsets. It connects via USB pass-through, so it doesn't require a separate power source. If your headset has an unusual frame shape, the included hat is a reliable alternative.
How many games support TrackIR?
Over 200 games have official TrackIR Enhanced support, including Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, X-Plane, iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Arma 3, Elite Dangerous, and many more. The full list is available at naturalpoint.com. Most major simulation titles released in the last decade include native support.
Is TrackIR 5 compatible with VR headsets?
TrackIR 5 is designed for monitor-based setups and is not used with VR headsets (which have their own built-in head tracking). If you use a VR headset, TrackIR is not needed. TrackIR is the preferred solution for users on flat-screen monitor setups who want immersive head tracking without the cost and complexity of VR.
How long does setup take?
Most users are up and running within 10–15 minutes. Mount the camera on your monitor, install the free TrackIR software, clip the TrackClip Pro to your headset (or put on the hat), and select your game profile. Pre-configured profiles are available for most supported titles.
Can I use TrackIR 5 for professional or training applications?
Yes — TrackIR is used in professional flight training simulators, military simulation environments, and research applications. The 6DOF precision and low latency make it suitable for applications beyond gaming where accurate head tracking is required.
What's the return policy if it doesn't work for my setup?
Contact our team at Ask Ergo Works and we'll help troubleshoot your setup. Most compatibility issues can be resolved through software configuration. Our specialists are available to help ensure you get the most out of your TrackIR system.
