I like that the Unity FAST magnifier mount pivots downward and stays inline with the rifle. Just not sold on the FAST height. Is there a 1.93" mount thats similar, or does that only work due to its height?

I'm not aware of any magnifier mounts that sit lower than the Unity FAST but are still flip to center; the only other FtC option I'm aware of is the ever-so-slightly shorter Spuhr RDF. There are also the more QD-ish mounts, such as the Aimpoint TwistMount or Wilcox Flip mounts, where the magnifier can be quickly removed, but obviously that's a bit of a different kettle of fish.
IME, I didn't find a huge difference between the FtS and FtC mounts, never had my FtS (OEM EOTech and Scalarworks 1.93") snag on stuff, and never felt that the peripheral vision was noticeably obscured by them. That being said, the 2.26" really isn't that bad, IME, and is worth a try, just to see if it works with your gear, shooting style, and face structure. For me, going from 1.93" to 2.26" wasn't really noticeable when just doing day shooting (noticeably easier with the 2.26" when using a pro mask and passively aiming with NODs).

There wouldn't be room to flip to the center if the height was any lower.
I really like the 2.26" height anyways so that isn't a deal breaker for me. I'm tall and have a big head with a long face so your mileage could vary though.

The OEM Eotech G33 type magnifier mount with the OEM spacer installed will see through a 1.93" mount red dot. I have that on a few rifles.

Slight swerve but also like my 2.25 UNITY FAST w/ T2, added a 2nd during 4th sales, now when UNITY drops their new 4X FAST magnifier I’ll call it good after Xing my Razer E sometime ago.

What is the FAST 4X? Is Unity getting into optics now or is that a new mount?

Think it was shown @ SHOT if not Eurosatory 24 & certainly not their mag., so where’s mi amigo DeFault that’s much better read in than I to share some insight w/ it?

Ahh, so it's their own magnifier. Not sure I want to buy a new/first optic from an accessory company.

Unless I missed something they’re not an optics manufacturer, read some spec. on who makes the mag but slept since then, ‘yo DeFault stroll on by & set me straight por favor.

Pricing seems to be comparable with combining a G45 and an FTC Omni mount; it would be lighter, though, and makes a good compromise option for magnification and FOV, as for some, a 3× is a little low, while the 5× FOV is a bit restrictive.
I personally would wait for more people to try it out before picking one up, but I'm cautiously optimistic that Unity would put out a decent product.

TY @ DeFault & due to a need + confidence in Unity products I’ll bite the bullet & be an early adopter, not like we’re talking a large sum of coin either.

I bought the Green color FAST FTC Mount for $170 & Fast Micro mount also in Green for $140 from this place https://www.customnightvision.com/product/unity-tactical-fast-ftc-omni-magnifier-mount-for-eotech-vortex-sig-sauer/
I didn't care for colors & in reality it looks better than the online images.

The Unity 4X FTC FAST magnifier drops 9/13, higher than I expected @ $710. though the attachment lever integration looks good & as DeFault suspected glass is from ROK.

Looking forward to seeing some reviews on this one.
