A multi-position optic mount is disclosed which provides for automatic movement of an optic element between an engaged position, in which the optic element intersects an optical path, and a disengaged position, in which the optic element avoids an optical path. The optic mount may be used for a broad range of optical elements including: lenses, filters, etalons, gratings, retroreflectors, wave guides, fiber optics, lasers, photo-detectors, etc. A unique activation capability is provided in which an active actuator and passive actuator are utilized to move the mount between the engaged and disengaged positions.
