How are the optics/visibility affected by mounting non horizontally eg 45-70 degrees from horizontal, if they still face directly forwards?

If they still face forward, they should remain bright for oncoming traffic - should be no issues.

I have noticed the beam is narrow and tall when these lights are mounted in the normal way. These lights are very bright when looking at them head on, but if you move to the left/right by 10-20 degrees, the light output is much less. So if you mount them vertically, then their beam will be wide and short.

Should be fine as long as you mount them relatively straight in both directions. In the extreme case where they are mounted upright the manufacturer's vertical and horizontal mounting recommendations (level to the ground and within 10 degrees of head-on) would be flipped.

No, it cannot. I looked through the manual and can only be used forward facing.

Any angle is fine. Shame, though, you won't be viewing it straight ahead, eye level...

Yes. The 45-degree diagonal is actually more comfortable looking horizontally than upwards into the sky. This telescope won't be as convenient or as rugged as a one-piece spotting scope with a zoom lens, though.

Thank you for your inquiry. Most telescopes invert the image and this is acceptable when looking at objects in space - there isn't a right-side up when viewing celestial objects. A correct image diagonal can correct this in refractor type telescopes but the diagonal will not work on reflectors.

There are HIGH mounts available but then that creats another problem for sight alignment. YES.. the post would show in your scope.

Yes, They can face forward or rearward depending which way you mount it to your stock.

As long add you're using matched monitors it shouldn't be an issue. The mounts all rotate.

The instructions say horizontal but I had to mount mine vertical and it still works very well.

The viewing angle is really wide (both vertically & horizontally) on mine. I see no problem with your request.

yes sir, but if you turn 180 degrees theres no problem with the light pattern .. if is 90 degree mount do not buy it!

The packaging recommends that you do NOT mount horizontally, though mine is at a diagonal and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Hope this helps.

I dont see how it would not be in the view of the scope, however, I doubt you will notice it because the scope is in focus for a distance beyond so the front sight is not seen. technically the only side effect of that situation is that you will have reduced light coming to your eye but so little that you probably will not notice.

Just to clarify: if the image was an exact ratio, your angle of view would probably not be greater than 90°. If this were the case you would be missing out on seeing much of the area directly behind the vehicle

The mount will allow you to aim it in any direction except yourself. Editing/flipping will be required depending on mounting position.

You can aim them a little bit. i used them in a glass cabinet. The main thing I gained when aiming is that they don't shine out the front of the cabinet into your eye so much. I would say they are more like a 120 degree arc.

I understand the question as such that you want to mount the bracket on a vertical surface. In this position you can install the light reversed from what you see in photo#6. The light will adjust to point forward, but you might not get it straight horizontal. Definitely no up-angle at all.
