Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) PVS-14 Lens Set
Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) PVS-14 Lens Set
The Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) 3.0 PVS-14 lens set improves upon previous versions by reducing flare artifacts and the surrounding halo effect around the periphery of the night vision image, while also providing a substantial weight savings. Reduction in weight in the lens system translates to a reduction to overall system weight, alleviating headborne weight and extending user comfort.
The RPO Lens Set offers weight savings over traditional PVS-14 optics as follows:
- Objective Lens: 35g (RPO) vs 53g (Noctis Technologies (formerly Carson Industries) US Milspec) - 33% weight reduction
- Eyepiece Lens: 35g (RPO) vs 59g (Noctis Technologies (formerly Carson Industries) US Milspec) - 40% weight reduction
On a binocular system, this translates to approximately 84g in weight savings. As a frame of reference, the DTNVS with standard milspec optics drops from 520g to 436g, or about the same weight as a set of L3 PVS-31A. Note however that there are some optical performance penalties associated with lightweight lens systems. Read about them here.
Due to the unique lens geometry necessary to achieve the significant weight savings, and to reduce optical artifacts, the RPO 3.0 lenses are best used as a complete set.
Set includes:
1x RPO 3.0 Objective lens
1x RPO 3.0 Eyepiece lens
1x Nocturn Industries Lightweight Eyepiece Diopter Assembly
