Select your device

Most of our devices have the same options for image tubes and lens assemblies so the image options themselves are the same. Each device is a different housing kit that will offer different features such as infrared illumination, manual gain, etc.

More information on image tube and lens performance can be found in each product description.

mount and arm

The Mount attaches your nightvision device to your helmet/skullcap and allows it to flip up and down. Monoculars will also need a Dovetail Adapter or Arm except the OP14 which has an integrated dovetail arm.

Some mounts will use a push button to lock or release, some others will use a force to overcome detent, meanwhile others can integrate both systems.

headborne platform

We generally recommend head mounting your nightvision device over using it hand held. Improved stability reduces eye strain and improves quality of life while enabling rapid movement.

Helmets are more comfortable and more stable than soft caps. Ensure you select a shroud with your platform as that is where the mount attaches.

counterweight and lanyard

When running headborne nightvision it is recommended to use a counterweight on the back of the helmet/skullcap to prevent the weight of the nightvision device from weighing on the front and sliding downward. A properly balanced system improves user comfort, increases stability with movement, and reduces rear neck strain from compensating for extra frontal weight.

Lanyards are recommended to reduce the likelihood of unintentionally dropping or damaging your nightvision device. They can also improve device stability by providing tension against slop between the shroud, mount, and arm interfaces.

storage and transport

Soft pouches are compact, versatile, and easy to travel with while hard cases are bulky but offer the most protection.
