Available Models
G33-Style 3X Optical Magnifier
The G33-style configuration provides approximately 3.35X magnification in a compact flip-to-side design.
Magnification: Approximately 3.35X
Eye Relief: Approximately 2.2 Inches
Angular Field of View: Approximately 7.3°
Overall Length: Approximately 3.9 Inches
Weight: Approximately 11.9 oz
Mount: Picatinny-Style Quick-Release
Mounting Design: Flip-to-Side
Finish: Black
The G33-style configuration provides moderate magnification while maintaining a relatively wide viewing area, making it suitable for users who want a balance between image enlargement and surrounding-scene visibility.
G43-Style 3X Optical Magnifier
The more compact G43-style configuration provides fixed 3X magnification with approximately 2.6 inches of eye relief.
Magnification: 3X
Eye Relief: Approximately 2.6 Inches
Angular Field of View: Approximately 7.5°
Overall Length: Approximately 2.9 Inches
Housing: Aluminium Alloy
Mount: Quick-Release Rail Mount
Finish: Black
Mounting Design: Flip-to-Side
Its compact dimensions make the G43-style version suitable where reduced overall length is preferred while retaining 3X magnification.
G45-Style 5X Optical Magnifier
For greater visual enlargement, the G45-style configuration provides fixed 5X magnification together with a listed 25mm objective lens.
Magnification: 5X
Objective Lens: 25mm
Eye Relief: Approximately 2.6 Inches
Angular Field of View: Approximately 7.28°
Linear Field of View: Approximately 23.3 ft at 100 yd
Housing Material: 6063 Aluminium Alloy
Dimensions: Approximately 100 × 50 × 80mm
Net Weight: Approximately 334.5g
Lens Coating: Multilayer Broadband Green Coating
Mount: Flip-to-Side Quick-Release
Rail Compatibility: Selected 20mm Picatinny / Weaver-Style Rails
The 5X configuration provides greater apparent subject size than the 3X versions, making it suitable when additional long-distance visual detail is preferred.
3X vs 5X Magnification
Choosing between the 3X and 5X configurations depends primarily on your preferred balance between magnification and field of view.
3X Magnification provides moderate image enlargement while retaining a wider viewing perspective. It is a practical option for general observation where surrounding-scene awareness remains important.
5X Magnification provides greater apparent subject size and additional long-distance viewing detail. The increased magnification may result in a more focused viewing experience and requires more precise eye positioning.
Flip-to-Side Mount
The flip-to-side mounting system allows the magnifier to be conveniently repositioned without completely removing it from the compatible rail.
When magnification is required, the magnifier can be positioned behind a compatible primary optical viewing device. When magnification is not required, it can be moved away from the viewing path.
This provides convenient switching between magnified and unmagnified observation.
Quick-Release Mounting System
The supplied mounting configuration features a quick-release mechanism designed for installation on compatible rail systems.
Selected models are designed for 20mm Picatinny or Weaver-style rails.
Because rail dimensions, mounting tolerances and optical centre heights can differ between equipment, compatibility should be checked before ordering.
Adjustable Optical Alignment
Integrated adjustment controls allow the magnified image to be aligned with a compatible primary optical device.
Correct alignment helps provide a centred and comfortable viewing experience when the magnifier is positioned behind the primary optic.
Eye Relief
-
G33-Style: Approximately 2.2 Inches
-
G43-Style: Approximately 2.6 Inches
-
G45-Style: Approximately 2.6 Inches
Actual viewing comfort can vary according to mount position, eye position, eyewear, optical centre height and selected magnification.
Field of View
The listed angular field-of-view specifications are approximately:
-
G33-Style: 7.3°
-
G43-Style: 7.5°
-
G45-Style: 7.28°
The G45-style 5X model also has a listed linear field of view of approximately 23.3 ft at 100 yd.
Field of view represents the width of the observable scene and should be considered together with magnification when selecting a model.
G45 Multicoated Optics
The G45-style configuration features listed multilayer broadband green-coated optical glass.
Optical coatings are designed to help manage reflections and support light transmission, image contrast and viewing clarity.
Aluminium-Alloy Construction
Selected configurations feature durable aluminium-alloy housings designed to provide a balance between structural strength and manageable weight.
The G45-style version specifically lists 6063 aluminium alloy construction.

Important Product Information
The G33-style, G43-style and G45-style versions are separate configurations and may differ in magnification, dimensions, weight, eye relief, field of view, housing construction and included accessories.
Check your selected model carefully before ordering.
Rail compatibility should also be confirmed before installation. A listed 20mm Picatinny or Weaver-style mounting system does not guarantee compatibility with every optical device, rail, riser or mounting configuration.
This product is offered as a generic/private-label optical magnifier. References to G33-style, G43-style and G45-style configurations describe product styles or configurations and should not be interpreted as a claim that the product is manufactured, licensed or endorsed by another optics brand.
Safety & Care
Never look directly at the sun, lasers, welding arcs or other intense light sources through the magnifier, as doing so may cause serious eye injury or damage optical components.
Before use, inspect the mount, locking mechanism, fasteners and lenses. Ensure the magnifier is securely installed on compatible equipment and follow the manufacturer's installation, care and maintenance instructions.
