Flexible binocular night vision for adaptable head-mounted use. The BNVD-1431 MK2 combines the proven ARGUS articulating dual-pod platform with autogated P45 white phosphor image intensifiers. Independent 140° pod articulation lets the system move between binocular use, single-eye viewing and a low-profile stowed position without adding unnecessary controls.
Five verified tube-performance tiers let professional buyers match capability and budget while retaining the same core platform. Every configuration is supplied as a complete system with P45 white phosphor and autogating; no green-phosphor or non-gated options are offered on this page.
KEY FEATURES
- P45 white phosphor: a clean white-phosphor viewing format across every configuration.
- Autogated tubes: rapidly regulate image brightness as ambient light conditions change.
- Independent pod articulation: each optical pod rotates through 140° for flexible single- or dual-eye use.
- Automatic power management: gravity-sensor flip-up shutoff and movement-activated dormancy help conserve power.
- One-hand controls: programmable central control architecture keeps operation straightforward.
- Standard dovetail interface: compatible with standard Wilcox-pattern dovetail mounts.
- External-power capable: operates from one AA battery or a compatible external battery pack.
- Thermal-overlay compatibility: the articulated pods support compatible clip-on thermal imagers.
