The present disclosure also provides a magnifier optic. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A flip-to-side mount, comprising: a main shaft, arranged in a left-right direction; a first frame body, sleeved on the main shaft which is configured to move left and right relative to the first frame body and rotate synchronously with the first frame body; a second frame body, rotatably arranged on an end of the main shaft, an end of the second frame body being provided with a plurality of clamping grooves along a circumferential direction; a first pin, arranged on the main shaft and accommodated in corresponding ones of the clamping grooves, rotation of the second frame body driving the first pin to move towards a right and out of the corresponding clamping grooves; and an elastic member, configured to drive the main shaft to move towards the first frame body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 1, wherein the first frame body comprises: a shaft sleeve, connected with the main shaft; and a fixing seat, having one side sleeved on the shaft sleeve and another side provided with a fixing structure. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 2, further comprises a second pin, one of the main shaft and the shaft sleeve is provided with a sliding groove along an axial direction, another of the main shaft and the shaft sleeve is provided with a pin hole adapted to the second pin, along a radial direction; one end of the second pin is arranged in the pin hole, and another end of the second pin is inserted into the sliding groove. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 2, wherein the second frame body comprises: a sleeve, sleeved on the shaft sleeve, and configured to rotate relative to the shaft sleeve, the clamping grooves being provided on an end of the sleeve; and a mounting seat, a side of which is fixedly connected with the sleeve, another side of which is provided with a mounting structure. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 4, further comprising third pins, wherein one of the shaft sleeve and the sleeve is provided with a positioning groove along a circumferential direction, another one of the shaft sleeve and the sleeve is provided with positioning holes along a radial direction; an end of each third pin is arranged in corresponding one of the positioning holes, and another end of the third pin is inserted into the positioning groove. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 1, wherein four clamping grooves are arranged on the sleeve along the circumferential direction, and an angle formed between two adjacent clamping grooves is 90°. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 6, wherein a middle portion of the first pin is fixed on the main shaft, two ends of the first pin extend away from the main shaft and are configured to be accommodated in two of the four clamping grooves respectively. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 1, wherein the clamping grooves are V-shaped. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The flip-to-side mount according to claim 1, wherein the elastic member is a tension spring and wound around the main shaft; two ends of the elastic member are connected with the first frame body and the main shaft respectively. ### Claim 10 A magnifier optic, comprising a flip-to-side mount, wherein the flip-to-side mount comprises a main shaft, arranged in a left-right direction; a first frame body, sleeved on the main shaft which is configured to move left and right relative to the first frame body and rotate synchronously with the first frame body; a second frame body, rotatably arranged on an end of the main shaft, an end of the second frame body being provided with a plurality of clamping grooves along a circumferential direction; a first pin, arranged on the main shaft and accommodated in corresponding ones of the clamping grooves, rotation of the second frame body driving the first pin to move towards a right and out of the corresponding clamping grooves;
