Thinking or replacing my old TrackIR, which busted, with the Tobi. Do I need the mounting kit?
It’s recommended you mount it directly under your display.
It comes with a mount so you can attach to either a straight monitor or curved monitor.
I have a curved 34in 3440x1440 monitor.

Tobii also sells a tripod attachment that you can use. I chose to go this route after the adhesive supplied with the mounting kit failed. It’s expensive, and you have to wait for shipping from Sweden, but you can consider it as an option.
BluTack also works haha
Most of my rig is held together with that stuff.
The bottom of my screen is obscured by the Auto Pilot unit so I had to try this. Works OK.

I seem to have developed a strange fixation with magnets and can report that these work a treat with Tobii. Those very small metal plates and craft or button magnets attached to the front of the monitor (offset in my case, dont ask…) or wherever you wish, will have you sorted out in a flash.
I use a similar method for securing my Stream decks, stopwatches, clearances, etc. To my panel and it all works brilliantly.

It comes with everything you need. No need to buy anything extra (at first). After awhile, the adhesive attaching to the bottom of your monitor will fail. What I did was use a small inexpensive camera tripod. Attached the tracker bar with a piece of 3M tape ( the strong type used to attach parts to autos). Place the tripod in front of the monitor. You can change its position to suit.

Hi. What’s the distance to the bar from you. I’m thinking something similar maybe on my yoke as the screen sits behind it.
Not far. Like 60cm from my face. That is my yoke underneath the autopilot.
EDIT: probably more like 80cm.
I tried the OEM adhesive for a while, but it sucks, and I ended up using heavy-duty Velcro strips cut to size. So far I haven’t any issues with the Velcro’s adhesive slipping. I do like the magnet idea, but they also use adhesive.
I don’t know if you have any interest in doing this, but I mounted my Alpha/Bravo under the desk. Works beautifully.
This pic is pre-Tobii (note the TrackIR emitter on top of the monitor.)
I still have the two iPads, but I just tilted them down a bit so the Tracker bar has a line-of-sight to my face.

I’ve just bought mine so fingers crossed it’s all good
