UNBOX: Aimpoint 3X-C + ADM Swing-Off Mount

[@Rocketman9mm]

Are you a lefty? I wouldn't want mine to swing out right in front of my non-aiming eye and kill peripheral vision when i'm not using the magnifier.

[@truthjunkie9218]

Very nice! I have the same Red Dot. Will probably go with the same magnifier but not sure about that mount. I'd like mine to tilt, off to the right instead I'm thinking. Great camera work my friend, crispy clean. Thanks.

[@jimcook5711]

Great video. Just got my Aimpoint Pro (love it) but decided I do need the magnifier, I have DDM4V7 Pro and it has an 18" barrel on it so just the red dot didn't seem enough. So I just ordered this magnifier, now I impatiently wait for it. But watching your video makes me want it faster, I did get the tilt off to side mount instead though, it was part of the package deal, so I may have to get another if I don't like it. I digress great video, I'm stoked! Thanks!

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy the magnifier. The tilt-off should be awesome as well.

[@jimcook5711]

It's a Leap and looks pretty solid, thanks again.

[@henrymaz1697]

Hahhaa I literally have the same gun but ended up switching out my aimpoint pro for an eotech vudu

[@A.C.71]

@@henrymaz1697 why the switch?

I’m no spring chicken anymore... just ordered this and a aimpoint comp m4 Yee haw “”

Hi Silhouette Steve And thanks for this video. Looking to add a magnifier to my AP Pro.

[@saidabdulbari9838]

Hey man, great job! Very informative :)

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

Thanks. Still working on that production value. One day I'll be the Yeezy of KZbin!

[@A.C.71]

With less than 20/20 vision this is a must have for a reddot shooter.

[@glenwood89420]

Nice setup! But I would have looked into the Larue side flipping magnifier mount if I were you. Maybe it's just personal preference but I've never liked the swing mounts. With the larue you can still look through the magnifier even though it's not in front of the red dot like it's a spotting scope of sorts.

[@Ridgeline61]

@@jasonwilliams4390 a magnifier cannot "lose zero".

[@Ridgeline61]

@@jasonwilliams4390 sigh. You zero a red dot. You align a magnifier. Your magnifier has no effect on your point of impact, which is your red dot zero.

[@dhenson78]

Great video. Got a review on the aimpoint pro?

[@LSMG2004]

It's crazy that the magnifier costs double what the red dot costs

[@ryanmccarthy2693]

Magnifier itself is half the price of the red dot. The Aimpoint flip mount is obnoxiously priced when bundled with the 3x.

[@SC93-85]

Good video man. I’ve always been hesitant to add a magnifier behind my Aimpoint PRO cause the thing is soooo big just by itself, then adding a magnifier behind it, would just make the whole combo too bulky/long/heavy of a package on top of my AR imo. I may just go the Sig Juliet micro 3x magnifier, much smaller and Sig makes solid stuff.

[@jtrev4178]

can we get an update on this? :D

[@StMickeyS]

You moved the Aimpoint Pro to place the magnifier, do you have to zero the Aimpoint again or there is no need to zero it?

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

Hi Mike, sorry I didn’t see this sooner. Conventional wisdom would likely support checking the zero on an optic like this any time you change its position on the rail. Though, in all practicality, it’s likely not changed by much. This isn’t a long-range optic and as a result the difference between POI and POA are relatively small due to the shorter ranges. At the end of the day, if it was my rifle I’d check it. I want to have all the confidence in the world that my rounds are going exactly where I want them to.

[@rodholmgren7719]

Yes you will have to re-zero

[@nomsolo9935]

Thanks for a very thorough review. Is it possible to reverse the swing out direction for left-handed shooting?

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

In reality, I should have mine swinging the other way, so this would be the ideal way for a leftie. And yes, you can swap it.

[@nomsolo9935]

LostArk Outdoors thanks! If yours swung to the other side, would it be hit by spent casings?

[@KaneGregory]

Will that mount work on the trijicon 3x magnifier? Thanks and love that aimpoint pro!🤯🔫💣

[@The-Tech-Man]

Good video my dude.

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

Thanks!

[@mattman1233]

Does your sight leave the upper rail at all? Thanks

[@legionp229saoconvertedme4]

Fucking phenomenal review!!!!!!

[@rothgartheviking858]

I don't like how it blocks your view. This mount is a no go for me. need two eys on target with no magnification. I really like the glass.

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

I put the mount on backwards for the video. I should have had it swing out and away from my view (as a righty) so that I could use both eyes when not using the magnifier. The mount allows you to have it rotate to either side.

[@rothgartheviking858]

@@lostarkoutdoors6287 Ah then i like it. Seems sturdy. Enjoyed the video thanks.

[@richardbaker308]

Why is finding a flip to side mount so hard for this setup

[@Drotiz]

Scalarworks mayneee

[@SlickSlack4pac]

Totally agree, originally purchased a Primary Arms flip to side magnifier mount. Bad idea, not well made and metal shaving would fall off not to mention the mount wiggles. I've always followed the buy once cry once philosophy, learned my lesson so a Larue mount will be arriving tomorrow.

[@Jisstifer83626]

It's not, aimpoint sells them with the magnifier.

[@betlogenako7193]

Rds will work with these?

[@SkintSNIPER262]

I have a 14.5 build and wanna be able to reach out to 450-600 yards. Should I get the 3x or 6x magnifier?

[@nc_classics_9610]

Either would allow you to do it...what range is your dot Zeroed for? With a 100 yard zero you need to hold 120 inches over target for 600y...thats not easy to do. A ACSS optic would be a big help

[@SkintSNIPER262]

@Los Angeleno Yeah. My comment is a little dated lol. I have a Vortex Razor Gen 3 now.

[@charlieb308]

Since guns are banned now in Canada do you want to sell that?

[@daheroweneed2169]

Can you mount the magnifier on the other way to make it flip to the right? I like to keep both eyes open and having it flip to the left would block my left eye.

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

Yes. I’m considering doing the same, actually.

[@jerrychao7361]

@@lostarkoutdoors6287 Most of ADM's mounts are designed to have the quick release on the left side so if you're a righty, the magnifier should flip to the right side so it's out of your way as JeffShootsStuff pointed out.

[@markottinger]

Do you have the killflash on your aimpoint pro?

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

Negative.

[@Play_Rough]

I’m sure this is a great product however as a left handed shooter I really dislike how it swings out. That seems like it would get caught on or bang against things in a combat situation. Does the swing out bother you right handed shooters?

[@inthinkable]

This vid was actually pretty funny.

[@petter5721]

Aimpoint invented the red dot sight in 1975.

Bro never buy from Amazon 90% chance u got a high quality replica

[@lostarkoutdoors6287]

There are plenty of ways to confirm that you’re getting a genuine component from Amazon, and if there’s ever a doubt you can return it.

[@estebahngoldman396]

Don't use a knife? Use your fingernails maybe?

[@manbearpig214]

That is the worst mount I have ever seen
