Option two · Revenue share
Host a viewer
A view worth paying for. We'll place a viewer at no cost to you, share the revenue, and handle everything else. It's how our machines came to stand at America's landmarks — and how they'll come to stand at yours.
Apply
The two-minute form below: where you are, what the view is, roughly how many people pass it.
Site review
We assess the sightline, foot traffic, and mounting surface — and pick the right machine for the spot.
Free install
Our crew delivers and mounts the viewer at no cost to you. No power hookup, no Wi-Fi needed.
Earn
Guests pay per view. Tap-to-pay units remit your share directly by check or ACH.
The deal, plainly
Who pays for what
You provide the spot and the sightline. We carry the rest.

Does my site qualify?
What we look for
- A view people stop for — a skyline, a falls, a summit, a shoreline, a runway.
- Steady foot traffic — a place guests already gather and linger.
- A solid mounting surface — rail, wall, deck, or pad for a 300-pound machine.
Parks, piers, observation decks, resorts, ski summits, zoos, aquariums, stadiums, rooftops. If you're unsure, apply anyway — the site review is what tells us both.
