Pivot mount system for secondary optical device

An optical mounting system comprising:

• a first support structure configured to couple to a first optical device and a second optical device, the first optical device and second optical device having a first optical axis and a second optical axis, respectively;
• the first support structure defining a first joint, the first joint defining a first pivot axis, the first pivot axis extending in a direction transverse to the first optical axis, the second optical device pivotable about the first pivot axis when the first support structure is coupled to the first optical device and the second optical device;
• and
• wherein, when the first support structure is coupled to the first optical device and the second optical device, the second optical device is pivotable between:
• a first viewing position wherein the second optical device is operably positioned in front of the first optical device and wherein the first optical axis and the second optical axis are substantially aligned;
• and
• a second viewing position wherein the second optical device is substantially axially aligned with the first optical device and wherein the first optical axis and the second optical axis are offset from each other and substantially parallel to each other.
