Vector Optics 30mm Flip to Side Picatinny Ring
The Vector Optics 30mm Flip-to-Side Picatinny Ring is a simple, rugged mount made for 30mm magnifiers or accessories that need to swing out of the way fast. It locks onto a Picatinny rail with a solid clamp and gives you a smooth 90° flip mechanism so you can switch between magnified and unmagnified use instantly. It’s built tough, holds zero well when returned to position, and is ideal for clean, practical AR-style setups.

It’s mainly used for mounting magnifiers behind red dots or similar 30mm tube accessories that need to flip aside.

It fits most accessories with a 30mm tube diameter, especially magnifiers.
3. What rail does it fit?
It mounts to standard 21mm Picatinny rails.
4. How does the flip-to-side function work?
It rotates the mounted optic 90° to the side so your primary sight picture is clear, then flips back into place when needed.
5. Is it quick-detach?

6. Will it return to zero after flipping?
Yes, it’s designed for repeatable alignment when flipped back into position.
7. What material is it made from?
Most versions use 6063-T6 aluminium alloy for a balance of strength and weight.

10. Why choose this over a fixed mount?
It gives you flexibility—keep your magnifier when you need it, and instantly clear your sight picture when you don’t.
