Will this work well side mounted?

I had it side mounted to my ak for quite some time and worked well. Just remember at closer distances the dot will start to drift closer to the side it's mounted on, and Vice versa for farther distances. Just know your rifle and the distance you want it most accurate at with the laser.

My installation just allows lateral, (side to side) adjustment & slight angle adjustment.it is possible would work if mounted 90 degrees, but not certain.

Yes, it will work ,just put the mount on the wall, as mounting instructions says.

It's possible if you mount it to the rear that there will be interference. I mount mine slightly forward for preference and it's fine. If you don't have room to move it around then the side rails will probably interfere.

Don't think so, just get a wall mount one. Think that the sides are not finished off nicely to be shown.

Yes, you can do it. The simplest way is to use the mounting plate for the side, then just shoot some screws (use washers inside) right through the three "thumbscrew" holes on the back portion. You'll need about a 12" screwdriver or appropriate extenders to do it.

FYI, the other people who have answered are correct - you'll want to cut a board and use it to mount. It mounts very easily from that point and you will be happy with the result!

Yes it will work. It is not as strong as I had hoped but I did brace it to help. Will sway from side to said a little.

It is a little heavy. If you get 3M VHB and treat the surface you would probably have success. However, you may do better finding something with adhesive already and less weight for a vertical mount.

If it is a typical shoe mount (like you would usually see for flash) that you would see on a typical camera, this would work. I have not seen anything about a side mount and I can't imagine a way that it would work. Much like the other responder said, a picture or a camera model number and make would be helpful.

Mine worked best as pictured. Probably could mount on the side if the side area of your existing mirror is flat enough. Be careful that it doesn't stick out too far. Also the mirror is designed to show a wide angle horizontally. You will lose that width if mounted vertically.

Mine is a right-side mount, but I recall you can flip it around to use it for either. The only issue I had was the clearance was a tad low for the bottom of the faceframe, so there was interference. I shimmed the front up a little with some washers to clear the faceframe and gravity makes it somewhat of a self-closer, so it worked out OK.

Yes, it should work fine mounted vertically. Just leave enough room above or below to slip the roll on.

It is a side mount and works beautifully. I was very satisfied with its functionality.

This mount is made to be installed vertical. I doubt that you could install it horizontally and make it work properly.

Yes. You will need a couple bolts to mount depending upon your application.
