Remember everyone, it doesn't matter what magnifier you choose as long as the brand matches your red dot! Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

[@CDOES]

This, is a fact.

[@nathan_k]

As a Sig Micro 5x magnifier + EOTech EXPS 3-4 Holo Unity enjoyer, and Vortex 6x magnifier + Sig Romeo8T Unity enjoyer: I am proud to say the only magnifier + red dot that matches is my Holosun 510/512's. :)

Hop finally found a magnifier worthy of his beloved Trijicon SRO…

I specifically mismatch red dots and magnifiers

The flip to side base looks very familiar because it's licensed from EOTech. You can see they share patent numbers at 2:57

That PA gen4 is still a dynamite eye box monster. Trijicon magnifier is solid too bad it came with my mro HD. But lord it’s a crystal clear combo

I don't disagree with you. And maybe your wish will be granted.

[@randomidiot8142]

Minimal eye relief doesn't really lend itself to being put on rifles with more capability at longer distances where more magnification would be more helpful, because recoil. I thought an EOTech would go well with my thumper AR, until I couldn't see much through it from 5" behind it and I still got hit in the face.

I sincerely hope you can get your hands on the new PA GLx 6x magnifier. I pre-ordered one from the first batch and was

No G43 micro? I just got mine today and it’s so nice, the glass is gorgeous. Im looking at a G45 but Im not sure over narrower eye box.

[@jason_r_]

Can you do the Vortex micro and PA mag? It would be cool to see those compared to this Trijicon 3x.

[@mike-oh7pz]

I was thinking about getting the holosun HM3X as my 3x magnifier. I want something with the most eye relief since I've never had one of these before. Which one would you recommend what do you like best?

[@khann844]

Wish you would talk more about the durability of these magnifiers. Also the mounting systems, whether they can take a unity mount or if they comes with plates for different heights. I agree with Hop cause the Juliet 6 would not line up to my Eotech Exps2. plates made it either too tall or too short. Got a g33 works perfect!

[@jamesstephenson2346]

Hes not gonna durability test optics that arent his, get real. If that is what you want, look elsewhere

[@bconn6110]

We need a Eotech G45 review, the 5x magnifier. The higher flip to side magnifiers seem more relevant in the days of LPVO's. How do I contact you?

[@SyrupCanuck]

Need to do a test of all magnifiers for 2023 Q4. I have a Eotech Xps2-2 on a unity riser on a x95. What should I pair it with. Mount will be a Unity FTC

[@secessionnow4133]

It would have been good to compared the vortex micro.

No issues with mine got it years ago from a buddy for like 150$. Mount hinge started to get some slop over time but it now sits in a Unity mount with no issues

[@alexxu3004]

what's the camera set up do you use to film these review?

[@debbiebaker1085]

So since I have a holosun scrs rd mrs green dot, I have to use the holosun 3x magnifier that has a crappy warranty?

[@theunofficialresults231]

Just bought one from Midway, a blem for decent price. I did what you're not supposed to do and put it in front of a 1x prism. It does work, but you actually have to zero it also and no clicks makes that difficult. I also flipped it to the side and at 50y it still seemed zeroed. Took it completely off and put it back and same thing. Didn't have time to shoot at 100, but will soon to see what happens.

[@randomidiot8142]

Putting it in front is the same as putting the trybe doublers in front of a scope. No surprise there.

[@baron1c]

1. Thank you for this review. I have always wondered about the tridge. 2. How da fuq does Hop get to comment 2 weeks in advance?? 😅

Can we expect a Juliet6 review at some point?

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Is yours off center to the right? Mine is in the 1/3 right portion of the magnifier

[@paulyp9853]

There seems to be some acceptable compromises simply because its Trijicon. Fish-eye, and movement in the dipoter would be deal breakers in some instances, but Trijicon did it and charged more for it. Having a sample size of one is every review, isnt it? For $40 more than the Trijicon you can get a G33 (without a mount - I have a Unity FTC), and have a great product. Primary Arms use the SAVE12 code . Or spend another $160 to get it with the mount with the code. The other route is to go with Holosun or the Vortex Micro 3x. My opinion the Vortex 3x is a very good magnifier.

[@GoatDR]

Agreed. Why get this when the Vortex is fantastic for $200 or the EOTech which is much better for a tiny bit more money.

[@paulyp9853]

@@GoatDR Not sure about this video. C_Does seems very tolerant of $400 magnifier when usually the shortcoming of this would be deal breakers. Fish eye - Adjustments dont detent well Slop in the dipoter The Holosun looked better and $200 less but still went Trijicon because of the name and reputation instead of the actual review on hope that the Trijicon would be ok. So for twice the price go with the higher priced item and hope its better. I have the G33 and got it less than $400 without a mount because I use the FTC mounts on my magnifiers. Also the G33 can be had with the mount for $439 as I type this at Eurooptic on sale. That makes it a no brainer

[@XiaoPP1]

This look nice, but Vortex micro 3x appear better at lesser cost. Appear someone afraid to offend Trijicon for future pay review.

Is a 5x magnifer worth it to shoot up to 300 yards? Trying to decide which mag to go with my Eotech exps2-2 with unity riser and FTC

[@jamesstephenson2346]

If you need a 5x mag for 300 yards, you shouldn't be shooting 300 yards

[@ezralee9662]

This looks so similar to the tacticon Falcon V0.5

[@woodport]

My Trijicon 3x magnifier says 'Made in China' on the bottom. And yes I contacted Trijicon to confirm that it wasn't a fake or something. It works just fine but I'm not convinced that it's actually any different than the other Made in China 3x micro magnifiers. The image quality does look noticeably better than the Hm3xT in the video though so maybe I'm wrong.

[@SyrupCanuck]

To me it looks like the Vortex one

[@Taprack13]

Hoping to see it next to the vortex 3x micro.

[@viniciusbergamo9230]

he already did

[@Taprack13]

@viniciusbergamo9230 He did both. The Vortex was 3 years ago and not as detailed.Wanted to see a comparison and get his opinion on the 2, head to head. Rather than the Holosun and G33, the Vortex seems to be most similar.

No Thermal or Night Vision segment? C, I am dissapoint. Jokes aside, low light with a magnifier sounds like a recipe for disaster. Glass clarity (%) * Wavelength(nm) * Objective(mm) / Magnification(x). Obj being limit.

Got mine on sale for $250. Opened the box flipped is and saw it said “made in china” and threw up a little in my mouth. Went and got a g33 exps combo later. Not a terrible magnifier but trijicon and China shouldn’t be in the same sentence

[@clayton5584]

Does a magnifier clear up the dot if a person has astigmatism?

[@christoperdevore3617]

Short answer-Depends. It can, but it’s no guarantee. It usually works out well for me and my astigmatism, but I’ve heard others complain it gets worse.

[@travisj9307]

If you’re running an EOTech then it’s much less of a problem. I’ve tried Aimpoints and the MRO through magnifiers and always looked like clusters of dots to me. I now actually run the Trijicon 3x with an EOTech and love it.

[@FMDad-dm5qo]

Yeah, it depends. I have some astigmatism. Eotech dot looks surprisingly good under magnification; usable and not annoying. The dot on my SIG Romeo 5 (great budget dot btw, not hating on It) gets kinda spaghetti-ish under magnification when I stare at it.

[@ayowser01]

​@@travisj9307same same

[@lawless911sc]

"I guess most companies just find something that works, and use it." I'm convinced all the rock-in magnifiers are the same OEM. It's probably ALL Chinese as well. Maximum profits that way. Makes me doubt the efficacy of buying an EOTECH magnifier for my EXPS. Would love to have one as the glass quality does seem marginally better than most, but then the Vortex 3X micro is also quite good and MUCH cheaper. You just can't get it in brown (I don't think you can, at least). Also... I found myself somehow mysteriously unsubscribed from your channel as of this video.

This looks like its made in the same factory as the Vortex.

[@SantosGunworks]

Contrary to popular belief, you do have to zero your magnifier. Centering the magnifier initially will get you very close, but you have to fine tune it after. I zero the red dot first at 50 yards and they put the magnifier and zero that.

[@albertmedalla3941]

Great review!

[@kennykrabss]

Interesting. Eotech's magnifier manuals say you don't have to zero

[@AVAKemicals]

​@kennykrabss I used to run a 512 with the fixed mount 3x magnifier, can not remember what it was called for the life of me, but when I took it off my point of impact changed from where I had the zero on the 512.
