While it is a bit bigger, it\u2019s still an incredibly compact optic with a total length of just 7.1 inches. Of course, it\u2019s built tough, too, while the aluminum construction helps keep it lightweight at just 16.9 ounces.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"EOTECH 4-12\u00d736 Vudu Super Short Scope 2\" class=\"wp-image-300650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Other features of the 4-12\u00d736 Vudu are its illuminated reticle (10 settings), its wide power band on the eyepiece for rapid magnification adjustment and its adjustable diopter for precise focus control. The capped turrets offer .1-MRAD adjustments, and its mounting solution allows for directly attaching the scope to Picatinny rail using either the included EOTECH mount or an aftermarket mini-ACOG mount. Compatible micro red dots can also be attached to the Vudu itself, either at 12 o\u2019clock or at a 45-degree offset.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"EOTECH 4-12\u00d736 Vudu Super Short Scope 3\" class=\"wp-image-300651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"EOTECH 4-12\u00d736 Vudu Super Short Scope 3\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-300651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EOTECH-4-12x36-Vudu-Super-Short-Scope-3.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>EOTECH said this about the Vudu\u2019s FFP reticle:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The first focal plane is preferred by more tactical users because the design allows quick range estimation and trajectory compensation at any magnification.
