I called Brent about a month ago and he was going to be out of stock for 7-8 weeks. So maybe soon another batch will be ready.

Call Downwind, the gear store at Lake Wales. They probally have one at one of their locations.

I just bought one from Square2 at Skydive Arizona. Not sure if they have anymore in stock, but it might be worth giving them a call.

I've had 3 brent sights over the years. I will only every buy new sights from him. Anyone else lookiing for a good sight, get one from him.

For you newer camera fliers: Look at Tony's numbers. Almost all of that is camera too.

He knows what he's talking about, and plays a mean drum solo too....

For reasons that I really don't understand, they simply just work.

When I switched from an Orange lolipop style site to one of Brents Concentric sites, my framing improved instantly.

One thing I can put my finger on, is that because there's multiple rings, you can choose the proper distance to the group, by how the group fills into the different rings. It's really very useful, especially in 4way.

[youngpathy19 0]

so it is a zoom for your body??

[Stumpy 284]

I think its in the construction. In terms of function - i BELIEVE the newton sights and others (although not the lollipop) do exactly the same thing, but i think the brent ones are made differently - harder wearing, more scratch resistant etc.
Of course that might be a load of bowlarks

From what I heard the concentric is made from a different extremely expensive material than the crosshaired one. For those that do not know, the concentric is a 'O' circle vs the cross hair your eyes need to form the center. Every big named videographer and photographer I know uses the concentric. I personally use the cross and it has worked extremely well.

On another note. The first time I went to a sight the improvement was out of this world! IMHO anyone making money doing video needs some sort of professional site. I'm sure opinions differ, but comparing video and pics from those with and without and its pretty obvious. Especially with newbies. [sure I just openned up a can of worms.... :-) ]

The safest and IMO best method is an integrated visor with a square on it.
Next best thing is a decent ringsight, but these can be very hazardous. I've seen some really snag-prone setups here and there

For newbies and for people doing inside video, why would you add a ringsight to the mix. And not all experienced videographers use a ringsite either and still shoot good video. For newbies, having a ringsight doesn't mean you can suddenly shoot good video if you couldn't before!

For most people, I think the old paper a*hole is the best and certainly the safest solution.

Dragon,

Good points... I was more implying outside video. Another good point is to make sure to use the polyester screws if using a sight. I like gasson's setup, there is no snag points on his eyepiece since its integrated with the FTP's forehead piece.

Do you have a picture of that setup?
