The Xtend-a-Sight allows you to mount a Red Dot Sight (RDS), typically found attached to rifles and pistols, to the flash shoe of your camera or a flash bracket. This allows you to track moving objects much more accurately than by using the LCD or the viewfinder because the LCD generally "locks up" for a short while during processing of a picture and the viewfinder of a DSLR is "blanked" during the mirror up routine. Because of the viewfinder's limited view, it's difficult to keep a moving object in sight. Whether it's birds in flight, car races, air shows, sports action, or even children at play, the Xtend-a-Sight is the modern "sports finder" capturing nearly every important action photo. The new version incorporates a single, longer Weaver mount rail (which accommodates longer RDS units), with multiple horizontal slots accommodating a much wider variety of Red Dot Sight versions. DOES NOT INCLUDE DOVETAIL ADAPTER.
