I just installed the G45 onto a Unity Omni mount and I have an EXPS 2 in front of it. When the mount is closed it completely obstructs the view of the EXPS. Am I missing something or is a riser needed?

This magnifier is ending up being a pricey set up.Yessir, FAST Optic Riser

Have you used this riser with the EXPS and Omni Mount for the G45 set up?Yessir, FAST Optic Riser

Pricey indeed... I went the opposite route and got the riser first, primarily for NV passive aiming. I haven't dropped the cash for the magnifier setup yet though
Yeah first I got the EXPS, then the G45, then the magnifier mount and now I need the EXPS mount. All together I'm looking at about $1,200 for the whole set up.
This Eotech magnifier will do just fine. The Aimpoint ones are way more than what I wanna spend. I got the G45 and EXPS-2 on here for $450 each. I'm putting these on my DD M4A1 with a Streamlight weapons light. Only thing I'll need to finish is a suppressor. I'll finally have my SEAL gun. lol
Here's where my jealousy kicks in... no cans here in CA
It was just a jab at the EOTech battery life compared to Aimpoint red dots. No experience with the Aimpoint magnifiers but the EOTechs are great. Enjoy

I'm surprised California doesn't block you from even being allowed to be on this site. I mean we do speak of "weapons of war" on here.
Yeah I have an Aimpoint Pro and I haven't had to put a battery in that thing for years.

I have the original 1/3N battery in my Comp ML3 that I bought new in 2010. I don't use the ML3 on a daily basis but I do use it from time to time.
The EXPS3-2 isn't bad on batteries either. Even on standby the battery is good for at least 1-2 years depending on storage conditions. The Vortex UH-1 Gen 2 w/ the latest firmware, on the other hand, uses more on standby and when activated versus the EXPS3.
