Has anyone reviewed or tried out the Element Optics Immersive 5 x 30? I am doing research on either a prism or LPVO fir a 16" 556 ADM that I would like to use clip on thermal with it

I like the 5x30 que a bit. It works pretty well with clipons that have fairly long lenses. I used it with a 50mm Gen1 Burris and iRay Hybrid75 with good success.

Thanks Ilya! How durable is it? Like ACOG durable ?
Noone knows. Mechanically, it is holding up very well. I managed to get one filled with water after sand and mud ripped through the seals on the eyepiece during a class, but then a bunch more have been tested for water immersion with no ill effects. Beyond that, I have not seen any issues and I do not think Element has had any returned or needing service so far (other than the one I abused).
However, there are millions of ACOGs out there and a few hundred of these. It will be a while before we have a track record that you can even remotely compare. So far, I am the only one who managed to break one, which speaks well of the design. I was not kind to that scope.
With ACOGs, I have seen crates of broken ones, but given how many are out there, it is as reliable as any optical weaponsight we've made.

I don’t have this particular optic, but a couple other element scopes now and am very impressed with their quality.
I like it. Not too thin and not too thick.
What a cool optic!
With the included mount, can you place the picatinny section at 45 degrees or is it fixed at 90 degrees?
Can this be mounted in any 34mm ring?

These can be mounted in any 34mm rings. I have one sitting in two normal 34mm rings on a 10/22 since that puts the scope a little lower. Both rings are in front of the turret.
The mount is set up so that you can put short rail sections at several different positions. I do not recall offhand if 45 degree is supported, but there is something like 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock positions in addition to the 3 and 9 o'clock.

I am just curious what Element does to an already decent Immersive Optics Prism to justify double the cost. I have the 5x24 from Immersive and use it on an air rifle since the parallax focuses really short distance. The eye relief on mine is super short and can cause fogging issues in colder temps. The field of view is huge and great for squirrel hunting. I skip the cheapy mount that comes with it and just use a quality 30mm scope ring to mount.
Any feedback about durability? What's the going rate? Do you any in stock?
PM for details. Thanks!
Element and Immersive are now one company. What used to be Immersive Pro was updated with some internal optical changes, new reticles and improved mounts.
