huh? The up and down arrows are for brightness, press them both to shut it down, press up to turn it on.

With the 557's controls are on the left side so a user doesn't have to flip the magnifier to get to the them. With other models, ya have to flip the magnifier over, unless there's clearance for yer fingers to get in there. I think the amount of clearance between the EOTech and its magnifier depends on how the EOTech is mounted, I don't believe the magnifier has to be immediately behind it to work well, it will however save rail space. If you have an MRP or VIS, the EOTech can probably be mounted further forward, leaving enough space between the magnifier for controls access.

Picture of the 557 with the 4X magnifier and the 3X magnifier on the top for comparison.

With the flip to side mount, you can adjust the brightness with the magnifier flip over if you are running a 553 or the older 552.

Chen, is the piece that goes between the magnifier and the 557 standard, or even required? Is it just something on the prototype that won't make it into production?

COOLNESS I like that

So I have to FLIP the MAG in ORDER TO ADJUST and TURN OFF my 551 Eotech

ALSO I run my 551 on a Flatop LMT M4 with arms 40

Do I have to buy a RISER

The picture I have in My old SAR has the up and down buttons on the MAG itself

Press the UP button, and it will turn on and run for 8 hours, then turn off automatically.

Press the DOWN button, and it will turn on and run for 4 hours, then turn off automatically.

After turning on, it will come on set on 12. Keep blipping the up button and it will go up to a brightness level of 20. Blipping the down button will bring it down to zero.

If the reticle blinks after firing, it means the batteries are low.

Pressing both UP and DOWN simultaneously will turn it off.
