Ok, so I'm total noob status with this stuff and I don't want to waste money.

I don't want to buy the wrong mount or a $20 that is plastic and will break.

Here is my helmet:

Is the the correct mount?  I have a pvs-7. It says airsoft but it also says it's metal

Cheap junk and is a Chinese copy of the old style rhino without vertical adjustment. Just call TNVC or look on the EE or eBay for a used Rhino II. Good mount and won't break the bank. You will have a quality mount for your PVS-7.

ETA: You spent real money on a PVS-7. The worst mistake in night vision is getting a shitty helmet and mount. I played with all types of helmets before we could get quality night vision specific helmets that were not ballistic. Money well spent.

Link 1 failed for me.

Link 2 links to garbage.

There is a high-quality import helmet that is currently not listed on eBay. I've been waiting on him to relist because I am already getting one for someone else on a budget.

You can get a real RHNO or, better yet, a RHNO II for around $60.

RHNO II: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campId=5337559805&toolId=10001&customId=iz7blno1qk00zk8a00004&mpre=http://www.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FNOROTOS-NVG-TITANIUM-MICH-ACH-HELMET-MOUNT-BRACKET-BRAND-NEW-%2F182453417531%3Fhash%3Ditem2a7b12363b:g:C0AAAOSw8w1X3ZYE

The RHNO II has vertical adjustment that the RHNO lacks.

For what authentic RHNO and RHNO IIs are going for on ebay, I would not bother with the airsoft stuff.

dont buy any of that airsoft stuff for your expensive NV.  RHNO II on the EE plus make sure you use some kind of a lanyard in case your optic comes loose.

Ok. Thank you guys. I'd also like to give a shout out to SOT_Solutions.

I've been harassing him via IM and he's been nothing but gracious.

Unfortunately I already ordered the helmet and this is one time fast shipping but me in the butt.

SOT sent me a linky for a Rhino II on the bay that I snagged the instant I read his IM.

So I guess if the helmet turns out to be absolutely terrible I'll buy the one listed above.

I hear from people all the time that want to jury rig motorcycle helmets, odd ball foreign military helmets, etc. to place their PVS14's on.

My reply is always- "do you really want to dangle a $3K item off of some jury rigged setup?"

Don't forget about a retention system from keeping your PVS7 from hitting the deck and with the Rhino II (excellent mount) it's very easy to do. See this thread for ideas
