The Hidesight is an add on device for 1x red dot and holographic weapon sights that enables the user to view the sight picture of the sight while staying hidden behind shielding obstacles. It projects a non-magnifying, non-inverted “true image” view of the sight, through one of three selectable viewing modes: normal, side view, and trench. The Hidesight mounts to a picatinny rail, and is designed so it can be offset from the sighting path without detaching from the weapon. A dual mechanism safety feature prevents accidental opening of the frames during normal weapon handling, the weapon falling, or when the weapon in storage. The optical panels are easily cleaned in a field environment, and can be replaced without specific tools if they are broken.
