You definitely need a magnifier! Unless you have a scope. Then it would just get in the way.

[@micstudmuffin]

A 3x magnifier with a 10x scope is 30 magnification though.

[@WildPhoenix989]

Didnt expect to see hop here lol

[@thepeoplesupdates676]

😂😂😂😂 tell em hop!

[@therightarmofthefreeworld4579]

Thanks Eotech, just ordered an exps3-0 and the g45 magnifier, patiently waiting for the ups driver RN.😂

[@shammy313]

With Eotech enjoying all that sweet sweet DOD contract money. How and TF is the g43 still 600.

[@Antykain]

G33 is still my fav and go-to.. I have LPVO's and HWS+magnifier setups and while each has their place where each accels.. I still like the HWS+magnifier combo the best.

[@Hiddencomment007]

bought my first eotech holosight last night... and im so gay for it

[@EvilSinReaper]

😂😂😂

[@OBS_Luke]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Maine307]

probably the best, hands down, down n dirty explaination. this helped me very much. thank you!

[@eotechinc]

Glad it helped!

[@jojoupton]

I love my Wilcox 5/8 riser flip to side mount. If I didn’t use it, I’d most likely use the flip to center. Great video

[@Howard_Roark]

Just so you know, penultimate means second to last.

[@Rmx61999]

Thank god, I had no idea what number that was

[@thenipper78]

I came here for this, the preeminent comment.

Happy Birthday Marine, Semper Fi Devil Dog

[@mooktemas6800]

If y’all can’t get a strong battery from Elon Musk, y’all should at least add the shake-wake function please. Only reason I’m not running this wonderful system is because I don’t want to pick it up and forget to turn it on when seconds count.

[@IsaacSchultz]

Are people actually buying non MOTAC red dots these days? That would be crazy.

[@julesclain9091]

Penultimate doesn’t mean ultimate

[@julesclain9091]

It means next to last…

[@doodad]

I use a magnifier behind my LPVO to increase the magnification and put my eotech in front of my LPVO to still take advantage of the holographic sight. Works great for me. Monolithic upper helps since I utilize a significant amount of rail space

[@kidmick809]

You’re missing an ACOG at the end

[@petrikupiainen]

Great video! I use G43 with exps3-0 on my Daniel Defence. On my JP gmr-15 just exps3-0.

[@eotechinc]

Very nice!

Where do you get that flip to center?

[@AJJALALI]

Thank you so much bro very brief and helpful description

[@leandroogavadepaulasouza5012]

Great content, thanks !

[@Kinsman_216]

Can you fit a rear sight with magnifier and optic?

[@miles267]

G33 is arguably the best magnifier of their line and not mentioned.

[@rr_spec1809]

Exps3 hhs viii w/ G33 is 👌 🔥 love mine and won’t go to anything else

[@a_double_]

Why no mention of the G33?

[@davidwarren719]

How did yall get Christian Slater to star in this video? Must have cost a fortune

[@slyterminator6232]

I just ordered my first EOTech EXPS3-2 and G45( both in tan 😏) yesterday for my IWI X95! I’ve been wanting to get one since playing Ghost Recon Wildlands in 2017!

[@joylopez3990]

It helps a lot, thanks brother!!

[@JulianB85]

I have now a G43 and a EXPS (green) before it was a normal XPS. My question is, do i need the 7 mm riser when i use the G43 with the EXPS ? I ask because I find that the position of the G43's lens to the EXPS is at least visually better aligned when not using the riser. It looks kind of weird with the riser. I just want to know if the riser actually needs to be used because it's just optimal?😉

[@lou1784]

I purchased an EOTECH G45 with no mount and currently waiting for it to arrive. I also purchased a Unity FTC. Did not think of it when buying the two but, will the mounting screws come with the G45?

[@housebuckley5519]

@eotechinc, thanks for the great 101! Can you please provide the recommended products for a DDM4v7p converted to SBR? I would like to have the hybrid setup as shown in this video as STC.

[@captainsewerrat]

"It's a lil scope you can flip in front of your sight." there, I saved you 7+ Minutes.

if using my Eotech HWS to allow use of BUIS visible in lower 1/3, and wanted to use that trick center mount (what company makes that?) for my Eotech magnifier: how will that affect my ability to use BUIS at 1/3 height? My guess is not a bit (as in not change anything except swap out Eotech Magnifier mount for that center line unit) but have not yet visited the website to company offering that magnifier mount. Appreciate any insights, information, suggestions, or any other useful input!

[@maroonblood151]

Is it normal for magnifiers to lose center with the reticle? After I flip to side, I notice that my g45 magnifier loses center (not zero) and it either shifts to the left or right.

[@boomerak4774]

Can I use this magnifier to zero my EOTech exps3-0?

[@brandonwardlow4246]

What’s the interpupilary distance of the G33?

[@TimCleese]

Short answer: you don't need one. Long answer: you really don't need one.

[@TheDoomWizard]

Allows you see MUCH more farther

[@chrisbenson1222]

gimme that ogl please

[@eotechinc]

It’s coming!

[@np4057]

I would love to have one but man, so expensive. I really like the unity mount too over the stock mount

[@LordDirus007]

He forgot to mention, Flip to center, you can run back up sights

[@msquared9605]

How? Looks like the flip to center and back up sight will not work at all to me

[@FirstnameLastname-vy2dg]

Off into the great blue yonderrrrr

[@philliprousu652]

What happens if you zero the reticle on the red dot while using the magnifier? nothing?

[@eotechinc]

Nothing

[@maroonblood151]

How to flip to center with backup irons?

[@2009ridgeback]

You can use 45deg. offset back up sights

[@wesleyroberts679]

Just remember when you run a magnifier, all your windage & elevation are backwards. Hence they are upside-down.

[@webrootask]

I own one and i would say you dont really need one, back up irons with a red dot are solid

[@bronxwarrior319]

GREAT

[@pyeitme508]

Wow

[@Booper2021]

Anyone know if you can run mbus pro rear sight with the flip to center?

[@kndacomplx]

this I would also like to know

[@devrinmg]

If you’re asking for height then no, I have a exps3 with the qd which is lower 1/3 plus a Unity riser that brings it up to the flip to center height 2.26” but because both a qd it’s not a big deal take both off and use irons if my luck is that bad 😂

[@Booper2021]

@@devrinmg Gotcha, I was actually referring to the rear sight fitting underneath the flip to center when both are folded down but sounds like it does? Thanks!

[@devrinmg]

Ahh ok gotcha that I’m not sure, I don’t have a pro rear. If your running a Omni for a EO tech mag you should be fine with pros

[@chltmdwp]

I use G45 to zero my Eotech.

[@willieluv]

I love unity mounts but I can’t use back up iron sights so original mounts is what I use.

[@1olddirtroad]

@willieluv That's what your VISIBLE/IR Laser is for

[@devrinmg]

That’s what the qd is for

[@willieluv]

@@1olddirtroadthank you for your reply I guess I wanted something that doesn’t require batteries.

[@willieluv]

@@devrinmgI am sorry what is a qd?

[@Flack55]

​@@willieluvQuick Detach. Broski's saying if your HWS fails, pull it and your magnifier off via their QD mounts, and go to work with your backup irons

[@DbzDan78]

looks like you have to put your hws higher to use the flip to center magnifier mount.
