The Manticore-R from Nocturn Industries is a rugged, articulating binocular housing made of high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum with a on-board digital controls that control power, gain, and an on-board IR illuminator. This binocular device features individual pod shutoff when each pod is rolled up, IPD stops, user-adjustable pod tension, IR-illuminator & indicator, and low battery indicator. The device is powered on-board by a single CR123A for a continuous runtime of ~25 hours and does not require offboard battery packs. State-of-the-art modelling allows an extremely strong housing with a low weight - only 561g fully-loaded with Milspec PVS-14 optics. This device is one of the strongest, most full-featured, and lightest in its class.

Featuring your choice of NNVT NVT4-AG 1600+ FOM, Photonis Echo 1600-2000 FOM, or Photonis Echo+ 2000+ FOM white phosphor image intensifier tubes, each Manticore-R is cleaned, assembled, purged, and tested in-house with precision tools using our digital nitrogen purging rig, downdraft table, and clean room. Each device will also be tested and collimated using our in-house Hoffman night vision test set and a full test report will accompany each unit.

We now also offer a hand-select option for discerning customers with specific performance threshold requirements or characteristic needs. For more details on this premium service, please click HERE.

This build utilizes US Milspec Noctis Technologies (formerly Carson Industries) or Edmund optics for the highest levels of performance with no optical trade-offs such as reduced eyebox viewing window, excessive lens flaring, oddly-shaped flare artifacts, or distracting rings of light as seen on lightweight lens systems.

To reduce system weight with no optical penalties, add the Nocturn Industries Lightweight Diopters to this build - simply add them to cart along with this device and we will assemble them together.
