The Nocturn Industries Chimera Panoramic Night Vision System is the first articulating quad-tube night vision device, combining advanced panoramic performance with a compact, ergonomic design, improved optical package, and reinforced optic interfaces in one robust package.

This patented design achieves an exceptionally low overall profile by allowing the optical pods to articulate and stow rearward toward the helmet. When stowed, the system presents a profile comparable to traditional articulating binoculars. By shifting the center of gravity closer to the neck’s natural pivot point, Chimera significantly improves balance and comfort while reducing neck fatigue during extended use.

Each optical pod can be articulated and stowed independently, without fully folding the system. This enables improved head clearance in vehicles, easier movement through doorways and confined spaces, reduced snag hazards in brush, and immediate access to night vision when needed. The design also supports efficient operation alongside weapon-mounted optics or thermal devices, allowing users to adapt quickly to dynamic environments.

Key Features:

• Patented articulating design allows users to fold each pair of optic pods towards the helmet, reducing head/neck fatigue and reducing profile for vehicle operations and low-overhead thresholds
• Completely redesigned optical package OEM'd by Rochester Precision Optics (Rochester, NY) with ~20% larger eyebox, allowing greater operator flexibility on how the goggle is worn, and ensuring full FOV even with gas masks
• Completely redesigned optic pod interface that won't break from the bridge (common on L3 GPNVG and replicas)
• Compatible with all PVS-14 pattern objective lens accessories (eg: Lens Protectors, Day-Time Training Filters, LIFs, or CHADs)
• Dual-Fuel capable - onboard CR123A (10+ hours of battery life) and/or offboard via 00B LEMO port (~40+ hours of runtime) - swappable with 4-pin Fischer or can be run slick (no offboard power port) via replaceable bottom plate
• Easy push-button on/off
• Adjustable interpupillary distance adjustments
