This can mean that tracking the subject through the viewfinder can be challenging and often leads to more hunting around when it disappears from the frame. Dot Sights provide a wider viewfinder with a retical that stays locked onto your subject for easier maneuverability.

The TTArtisan Dot Sight can be attached via a camera's hot shoe, although there's not electrical contact as it has a cold shoe mount. It measures just 4.9cm when closed and 6.9cm when open with the viewfinder expanded, and weighs just 73g.
The sight can be popped open via a sliding mechanism on the rear, raising it above the lens and enabling an unobstructed line of sight. The sight then presents an option for a green or red reticle.
In addition, the reticle offers five levels of brightness adjustment for refined optimal brightness when shooting in lowlight.
The TTArtisan Dot Sight is on sale now for around $69 / £59.
