Thank you, I'm glad you appreciate the approach! And agreed; it's a new filming setup, it still needs some tweaking.

My pleasure. Thank you for not only tuning in but also leaving a comment! Much appreciated.

It really is the poor man’s comp

Precisely. Mounts are often overlooked but in my mind your optic is only as good as it's mount. All my Sig and Holosun optics are on aimpoint mounts and they've been flawless.

@@gunplaytv I bought the SKD 2.26" riser for mine so I could use the UNITY FAST OMNI magnifier mount.

Aimpoint pro is so old. They are just milking the name at this point selling it for $500

What's that supposed to mean?

30mm Def makes a difference. The eyepiece feels much more open and less constricted. That being said, it also weighs a good amount more which can't be overlooked

Very nice! I contemplated something similar with this build in particular. Canted/offset is much faster

Just answered my question at 6:50 😂

Ops, meant to also say nice review. Thanks

Haha I know, I kicked myself after I'd said it but I figured the point was made just the same. 😂 Thank you, by the way!

Yessir! The Sig Juliet series should line up perfectly, but I don't doubt you could also run a eotech or aimpoint magnifier just as easily

@@gunplaytv Lol, this is about the same size as the juliet.

Man the game has been crazy lately. Not sure if it's a raw material shortage causing scarcity, or if people are legitimately buying everything up, but I'm noticing many optics selling out, going on back order, or having the price jacked up. I just ordered a Trijicon RMR (unboxing coming soon) and had to jump as soon as I saw it. Other places wanted $500-700. Managed to find one of the few sub-500 dollar examples. If you see it, I'd snag it.

Optics planet has em for $190

@@patrickjones8255 they do but only on backorder...it says it will take 6-8 months to ship...

@@patrickjones8255 just got mine ordered, they finally came back in stock....Should be here in a week. $199

150 is a great deal for one of these

@@gunplaytv battehawk has them, and I ordered from dack outdoors cause they also had x95 butpad I was looking. Both are 150. Dack had the better shipping. I wasn't even interested in the optic cause I always saw it for 300 and it didn't appeal to me but for 150$ I was interested.

Agreed. I was facing the same dilemma. With the juliet it's just too much weight, but a Romeo5 XDR pairs perfectly IMO

I have to respectfully disagree. This optic is basically a clone of the Aimpoint CompM4s and the CompM4 has a long service history. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying this is as tough as an Aimpoint (but it is tough as heck just check out Beyond Seclusion’s video of it being dropped, submerged and frozen). However the Aimpoint does weigh more (14.5 vs 12.5 according to the websites). Also, the newest Army SF optic is a Sig LPVO that weighs 22.1 ounces. Now not everyone knows this but the SF guys down range have taken to running the offset red dot rather then a single optic or buis. So imagine 22.1 plus mount plus a red dot on offset. On top of an M4. This optic with a Juliet 3 weighs a combined 25. With the Juliet 3 Micro it comes down to 22.4. Just .3 ounces heavier then a bare Tango6T. I guess what I’m getting at is in the civ world we are all about light weight but that comes at a price and we like to complain about things not being “duty grade”. Well the guys actually using their weapons for duty are carrying some pretty heavy shit and guess what they make it work. If you are so concerned about weight that you are willing to choose an inferior optic (in terms of durability) then you should probably hit the gym.

Well, you can always my the Aimpoint instead! Wait... That's Sweeden 🇸🇪. For better or worse, alot of good stuff isn't made in the USA anymore. Including your iPhone.

Indeed it will! It ships with two mounts, one of which will work for cowitness

Does this absolute co-witness or is it a 1/3 co-witness with iron sights?

@@Gideon94NC absolute cowitness with the QD mount!

sweet brag dude.

@@noHandle1776 thanks bro, glad you liked it 😎

Teeny peeny comment

It'd work, but it's a bit big. Sig Sauer makes a Romeo5 that I'm considering putting on my shotgun since it doesn't see much use.

@@gunplaytv I have the Black Ace Tactical Bullpup Shotgun and thought it would go good with that type of shotgun.

I'd have to say 7. More robust, and a larger viewing window + ability to add a killflash. However, it's heavy. So the 5 wins if weight is a concern.

@@gunplaytv and size if rail real estate is a concern.....for 200$ on optics planet right now I could get the Romeo7 or a Romeo 5HDX, the 5 being 2.25 inches shorter. With my irons mounted straight up space gets tight on my rail.....I was looking at the 7s but I'm seeing more and more complaints about the quality of the dot, ie it blooms too much or halo's even at lower settings for the environment your in.
