RNVG-A (Articulating Ruggedized Night Vision Goggle)

Overview The RNVG-A is an articulating version of the rugged, lightweight, bombproof 7075-T6 aluminum RNVGs. The RNVG-A is our most expensive unit, but it offers some great features. The most notable is the ability to stow the pods closer to your helmet. This improves the ergonomics significantly by allowing the weight to sit closer to your head, reducing fatigue when wearing the unit stowed for long periods. The RNVG-A also has individual pod shut-off in the stowed position, saving battery and mitigating light exposure accidents. Each pod has an adjustable pod tension screw, so you can fine-tune how much force is required to articulate the pod. Dialing it in allows you to confidently move the pods without throwing the rest of your helmet positioning off. This model has the same intuitive push-button controls as the standard RNVG model, including IR illumination and signaling capability, and runs off a single CR123 with approximately 16 hours of battery life. Our units will come ready to go out of the box with batteries and a 10-year warranty from Nocturnality. But the big question is: Why aren’t we offering hand-selected tubes? Put simply, we provide tubes that meet our performance standard, and working with Nocturnality means we are getting hand-selected tubes in the first place. Picture a graph with tube specs along the bottom and performance along the side—the line will increase dramatically at first, but then it will level out with a marginal increase. All the tubes we are selling are either L3Harris Filmless or Elbit Thin-Filmed White Phosphor. Elbit offerings will be their Mil-Spec grade tubes, YH, VH, or PH. These tubes have a 1600 FOM minimum and an SNR of 25 or higher. Our L3 offerings will be a mixture of 18UM, 20UM, and 22UM tubes, but they will all be held to the 20UM standard (i.e. a minimum FOM of 1792). In our experience, going beyond these tubes, you are at the point of diminishing returns where the line starts to level out. There is next to no discernible difference in any of the tubes we are offering when it comes to what you are able to accomplish with them. We know this is an investment, but our goal, past, present, and future, is to curate products that take the guesswork away from the customer. If you still want to hand-select based on individual technical specifications, then we are not the solution for you. You’ll want a custom solution instead, and it just so happens we know a guy. When you place an order, a CS rep will email you to share the exact specs of your tubes, including tube images. You can make changes to your order at this time if desired. After that, your night vision will be shipped overnight to a physical address. This is both to improve package security and to get it in your hands ASAP so you can get training.
