This video compares a $50-$60 knockoff night vision mount to a genuine $500 Wilcox mount. The comparison focuses on the amount of play or 'wiggle' in the mount when attached to a helmet and when holding night vision devices. The knockoff mount exhibits significantly more play, audible wiggling, and has experienced screw retention issues, leading to a strong recommendation against its use with expensive night vision equipment.

This guide details how to effectively store and carry night vision devices using Spiritus Systems pouches and inserts. It covers selecting the right pouch size based on the NVG model and desired accessories, utilizing protective foam inserts, and employing tie-down loops for security.

The Nocturn Industries Alpha Mount is a new helmet mount for night vision devices, designed to be significantly lighter than alternatives like the Wilcox G24. It offers common helmet mount features such as pan, tilt, and height adjustment, controlled via a button press and a force-to-overcome detent mechanism. While praised for its weight savings and build quality, a potential drawback is its two-handed operation for stowing and deploying the night vision, which may not suit users requiring rapid one-handed transitions.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of night vision mounting solutions, focusing on helmet interfaces and adapters. It details the functionality and differences between popular mounts like the Wilcox G24, its Argus clone, and the Kadex Defense mount, highlighting adjustability, durability, and cost. The guide also covers bridges and J-arms for adapting various night vision and thermal devices to these mounts, emphasizing the importance of secondary retention systems.

This video demonstrates a dual-band night vision system combining a PVS-14 with an RH25 thermal imager, mounted on a Mod Armory bridge.
