When EOTECH announced the VUDU 3-9, we were excited to get our hands on one and see how it performed. In this video, Brandon gives his initial thoughts on the new optic.

well, that's a bummer about the glass quality.
No 1x, so its not an LPVO. 9x max so it's not a very good MPVO. Glass quality isn't excellent, when it should be absolute top tier at the price.
Normally the selling point of 3×9's is that they are cheap and easy to produce. I don't get it.
What in God's name is going in with your pistol bro? Who in their right mind would put an ACOG on their pistol?
I don’t understand this over a 1-8. Or a 2-10.
I have yet to hear anyone convincingly explain why a shorter scope is better. Especially if you give up the 1x magnification. It seems like most reviewers are fawning over how compact it is, but without explaining how it being short makes any difference to anything.
Eotech makes you pay $80 plus shipping to fix their holographic when they inevitably fail due to their poor quality control. Never will buy eotech again
Still got nothing on a solid 1-6x
Just get an elcan
They need to do a 1-4 variant
Scope rings are kind of lame and would like to see more companies have some sort of mount built into them to reduce weight and simplify set up.
I just ran the rc3 with the SOLGW b5 set up out here in Vegas at their range day and yeah it is pretty sick.
You lost me at the 4 MOA dot.
You can zero second focal plane at any magnification. You just won’t get accurate holds lol
No matter what zoom you’re on, the center stays center
Ncstar wants there design back
I'll be honest, a 4 MOA reticle on a 3-9x is not it for me as a fighting optic. That dot becomes 12" at 300yds and if your best group is ~2 MOA, that's ~6" variance within that 12" dot. If my base magnification isn't 1x im probably utilizing it for medium engagements out to 500yds… this ain't it.
I love T-Rex Arms but for heavens sake less range b.s. and more actually showing and reviewing the optic. I dont care how many alpha or charlie you get or what your time is. You are always going to be slower with something you havnt trained with anyways so whats the point?
They need to release the ffp version
Somebody put this on an offset prism mount.
MMPVO. Mini Medium Power Variable Optic.
I think this is a good "combat" optic. I mean think about it, 1x on an LPVO is worse than a red dot, and 2x isnt that useful anyways. If its going to have a piggyback red dot regardless, might as well use all of that to increase magnification for PID. Id honestly like to see MIL, clearer glass, and a FFP regardless of the optics class, maybe at a 1200 price tag. I personally would trade a lot of 1-8s for this.
Well, I keep my FFP 1-6 acss reticle with BDC and offset bargain bushnell and spend in ammo… This vudu doesn't convince me… 4moa ??? on a SFP? wtf…
What does this optic give you over an acog with dot? Is the gain significant from 5 to 9 power? Thabk you.
More product review and less range day please.
Bigger question… how do you like the new BCM mod 3 stock with the risers????
Thank you for the video, I don't comment as much as I should, but I have watched this company since the beginning. Outstanding work all around.
It's a first shot at something kinda cool, a variable prism optic.
Gun owners love crying in the comments 😂 anyway this is a dope 12.5-13.9 patrol carbine optic. Can see a lot of cops using these
did it take 10 min for anyone else to realize he had an ACOG on his glock?
So the 3-9x Bushnell I had on my childhood hunting rifle is innovative and cool again. Neat

Got a 3-9 Bushnell that came with my savage axis for $450. I don't see what makes this scope worth more than double an optic/gun bundle, much less over 10 times a regular 3-9 by itself. And it's STILL second focal plane; probably a rebrand
magnification with a piggy back red dot is not the best at anything but it can do pretty much anything. its the ultimate compromise setup. i think a lot of people lose sight of that especially when theyre dropping a lot of money on that type of setup. great shooting and good review. i was hoping for a better eye relief on the vudu 3-9. i dont quite see a reason why this would replace a ta02 rmr setup but it seems to be very usable. i would like to try it out.
Surprised at a 100 yd zero over a 50.
Acog TA02 sorry eotech not today
It’s fugly. Looks like something Barska would sell for $89.99
Thx Brandon. Was looking at this optic literally 30 min ago at the store before I got home and watched the vid. It's light so that's good. I think the search continues…
9:26 Is the Acog on the Glock with a 3D printed plate? lol
Solution in search of a problem imo.
So are we just calling anything a LPVO now?. I think universally the defining attribute of a LPVO is 1x base magnification. Just because you use it in the same capacity of a LPVO doesn't make it a LPVO.

Poor glass quality booo
reduced size combatant = child soldier.
watching you shoot is entertaining and helpful but the actual talking about the product was important. I was just looking at one of these the other day, it seems like a good idea that just isn't quite there yet.
Why would I get this over a plxc 1-8, nx8 1-8, atacr 1-8, etc? If this topped out at 12x I'd be interested. Just a totally pointless magnification range
All this innovation and we're back to a 3×9 tasco 😂
