Basic principle. Used by shooters with guns, very accurate and easy, not dependent on eye position.
In photography used to locate stars when setting up polar mount tracking devices.
No need to go to the expense of the Nikon device, eBay for a tenner! Search for "holographic dot sight" I think the open ones are the best for photography but haven't used one myself (yet).
The only slight issue is the flash shoe is a rather inaccurate way of mounting it. Ideally it would be best Araldited to the top of the lens, or a clamp slot for a rifle sight machined in the top of the lens? Even a couple of tie wraps would probably get the job done...
Check out this thread... Same idea, better, less crude implementation.
