OP14 - Integrated Dovetail Monocular
Product Info
The OP14 - Integrated Dovetail Monocular is a lightweight, full featured nightvision monocular with a built in dual articulating dovetail arm. The dual articulating dovetail arm uses a central push button to swing an aluminum arm which allows the user to swap between using the monocular on right or left side. The second articulation point uses an adjustable friction hinge that allows the user to flip the OP14 up and out of the way quickly, or stow the OP14 in a lower profile manner for driving and operations in tight spaces. This also eliminates the need to purchase a separate dovetail mounting arm for the device (flip up mount still required for headborne use).
The OP14 will automatically shut off when articulated or stowed, similar to binoculars with individual pod shutoff. It also has a motion timeout after two minutes of inactivity to mitigate unintentional tube exposure. This feature can be toggledd ON/OFF.
Our design goal was to create a modernized night vision monocular suitable for duty use. Many other manufacturers produce monoculars with features removed for ease of manufacture and market the lack of features as "minimalist", or "no frills". The OP14 was designed to be smaller and lighter than a PVS-14 while maintaining all of the key features, adding extra features, all while maintaining simple yet intuitive device controls.
The OP14 is roadmapped to have its own mount and dual bridge ecosystem allowing users to bridge them into a lightweight binocular featuring manual gain and individual pod shutoff, or to bridge them with thermal monoculars.

Nightvision Built in Canada
Precision through Process
Our devices are assembled in a positive pressure clean room utilizing HEPA certified filters and strict circulation standards to ensure a dust free assembly environment. Our blowers for cleaning optical components use compressed, double filtered 99.999% dry Nitrogen.
Calibration and collimation are performed using our Hoffman Engineering ANV-126A and HVS-126 Night Vision Digital Calibration System. Waterproofing and environmental resistance are vacuum tested followed by a multi phase Argon purge using our digital vacuum and purge test set.
We strive to bring the highest quality standards to our customers. Our night vision devices are built and assembled in our specialized facility in Aurora, Ontario.
