EOTECH Makes a Premium LPVO | 1-10x Vudu

Published on December 2, 2022
Duration: 15:10

The EOTECH Vudu 1-10x LPVO offers premium features like a 34mm tube and locking turrets but comes with a high $1600 MSRP. While its optical clarity is good, especially at higher magnifications, the 1x setting suffers from fisheye distortion, and the tight 2.8mm exit pupil at 10x makes the eye box unforgiving. It's best suited for SPR or 'Recce' builds prioritizing magnification over true 1x CQB performance.

Quick Summary

The EOTECH Vudu 1-10x LPVO is a premium optic ($1600 MSRP) with a 34mm tube and 28mm objective. While clear at higher magnifications, its 1x setting has fisheye distortion, and the 10x setting has a tight 2.8mm exit pupil, making it best for SPR/Recce builds prioritizing magnification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main drawbacks of the EOTECH Vudu 1-10x LPVO?

The EOTECH Vudu 1-10x suffers from fisheye distortion at 1x magnification and has a very tight 2.8mm exit pupil at 10x, making the eye box unforgiving. It also lacks a zero stop and rotation indicator on the turrets.

Is the EOTECH Vudu 1-10x suitable for close-quarters combat (CQB)?

While it has a speed ring reticle for CQB, the 1x setting's fisheye distortion and the illumination not being 'red dot bright' make it less ideal for rapid close-quarters engagements compared to dedicated red dots or lower-power LPVOs.

What is the recommended use case for the EOTECH Vudu 1-10x?

Due to its limitations at 1x and strong performance at higher magnifications, the Vudu 1-10x is best suited for SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) or 'Recce' style builds where prioritizing magnification and longer-range capability over true 1x speed is desired.

What are the key specifications of the EOTECH Vudu 1-10x?

The Vudu 1-10x features a 34mm tube, a 28mm objective lens, weighs 21 oz, and has an MSRP of $1600. Eye relief is just under 4 inches.
