New PGD Tracker 2.0
A better way to stay on target!
“This is the one! Track fast moving objects with both eyes for more usable shots. Easy to attach and remove without re-calibration each time!”.
- Jay Pierstorff
"The PhotoGearDesign tracker solves the problem of tracking fast moving objects by allowing you to use both eyes with a dot sight mounted securely on your camera. It's super fast to attach and remove without calibrating each time.r longer without my hand getting cramped up.”
- Jay Pierstorff
The best Dot Sight for tracking fast moving subjects
The PGD Tracker kit facilitates keeping fast moving photo subjects in the frame while shooting with telephoto lenses without having to look through the camera's viewfinder. Tracking a subject is infinitely easier using both eyes while simply keeping the Tracker reticle on the subject!
Long focal length photography
Optical reflex sights are used with firearms for one basic reason - fast and accurate target acquisition. The same concept works for long focal length photography. It is very difficult to find and keep moving targets in sight when using the viewfinder! The technical challenge is mounting the sight to the camera in a way that maintains repeatable accuracy. The optical sight must mount to the camera easily and in precisely the same alignment every time!
The Photo Gear Designs ESM-eco (External Sight Mount) design is the result of an evolution and refinement of a simple but extremely precise design. It is built in the USA using the highest quality structural and UV resistant carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The ESM-eco is very strong and rigid yet weighs only 12 grams! The ESM-eco has a much reduced carbon footprint from the original design and is in keeping with our commitment to reduce the stress on the planet. ESM-eco is now compatible with all standard camera hot shoes.
Optical reflex sight features
- A large lens for the projected reticle with minimum field of view obstruction
- Multiple reticle styles
- Red and Green reticle colors
- Rugged design and good weather resistance
We had additional changes made to the design to optimize the sight for our photographic mission and we added our name to it as an ideal match for the ESM-eco mount, resulting in the PGD Tracker Kit! We are not only passionate photographers, we are perfectionists who demand excellence. We are proud to be able to now offer this kit to our fellow photographers!
