VORTEX Micro3X Magnifier with Flip Mount

THE MICRO3X MAGNIFIER

Next level 3X magnification versatility when you need it for your red dot or holographic sight in an ultracompact, lightweight, and optically-crisp package. Integrated quick release mount allows for fast attach/detach from your platform and a patented camlock design provides easy engagement/disengagement of magnifier.

Images are for representation only. Product may vary slightly from what is shown.

MOUNTING THE MICRO3X MAGNIFIER

Attaching the Magnifier to the Flip MountNote: The Micro3X Magnifier does not come mounted to the flip mount. This allows the user to select the preferred mounting height (see “Mount Height Options” section below).

The Micro3X Magnifier can be mounted to flip to the right or left based on shooting preference. To attach, open the flip mount and position on the base of the magnifier so it can flip to the right or left based on preference. Insert mounting screws through the components and tighten using the included hex wrench. Tighten to 20 in/lbs.

Mount Height Options

With the included flip mount and riser plate, there are two options for mounting the Micro3X Magnifier:

  1. Absolute Co-Witness Height with Flip MountPositions the magnifier at 1.46 inches from the base surface to the center of the optic. This puts the dot height at a center (absolute) sight picture when co-witnessed with standard AR-15 iron sights. For this height, do not install the included riser plate.
  2. Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Height with Flip Mount and Riser PlatePositions the magnifier at 1.57 inches from the base surface to the center of the optic. This puts the dot height at a lower 1/3 sight picture when co-witnessed with standard AR-15 iron sights. For this height, install the included riser plate between the Micro3X Magnifier and the Flip Mount.
Integrated Quick Release Mount

  1. To open the mount, depress the lock button and swing the quick release mount lever 90 degrees to the open position.
  2. Position the Micro3X down onto the rail in desired location and move mount lever back to closed position.
  3. Check lever closing tension. Lever should close with moderate pressure using thumb or finger. It should not require excess force to close. If lever won’t close, closes with excess force or seems extremely easy to close with little or no tension, proceed to step 4.
  4. To adjust the tension, move the lever back to the open position. Using a flat blade screwdriver or similar device, turn the adjustment nut (pictured) left or right to loosen or tighten (left-looser, right-tighter). Make small adjustments of one or two clicks, then check lever closing tension. It may be necessary to repeat this process a few times until desired tension is achieved. Move lever back to closed position after adjustment is complete.
Using the Flip Mount

To use the included flip mount, simply apply direct pressure and flip the Micro3X Magnifier to the left or right side (depending on mounting direction). To return, simply push magnifier back into original position.

MICRO3X MAGNIFIER ADJUSTMENTS

Center the Red Dot Image

The Micro3X Magnifier is easy to use and does not require any special sight-in–just zero-in the red dot as normal and add the Micro3X behind for additional 3x magnification.

The dot-centering screws can be used to help center the red dot in the magnifier’s field of view. After the Micro3X is mounted behind red dot sight, the dot may seem off centered while viewing through the Micro3X. This will not affect the point-of-impact. If desired, the centering screws can be used to move the dot up/down or left/right until the dot is more centered. Do not force screws once resistance is felt and the end-of-travel range has been reached.

Note: Perfectly centering the red dot in the Micro3X is not required for accuracy. Once the primary red dot sight has been sighted in using its own adjustments, the adjustments done to the Micro3X using the centering screws will not affect the point-of-impact.

Adjust the Focus

Use the focus knob to achieve a sharp image. Turn the focus dial clockwise or counter-clockwise until image is as sharp as possible.

MAINTENANCE

Keep Lenses Clean

When cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products, such as the Vortex® Fog Free cleaning products or Lens Pen, that are specifically designed for use on coated optical lenses.

  • Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior to wiping the surfaces.
  • Using your breath, or a very small amount of water or pure alcohol, can help remove stubborn things like dried water spots.
Lubrication

All components of the Micro3X are permanently lubricated, so no additional lubricant should be applied.

Storage

If possible, avoid exposing your Micro3X to direct sunlight or any very hot location for long periods of time.
