Edit: yes it is a dovetail bridge, cool. Unfortunate that one is not available over here in the EU given the MUM-14 is pretty much the only mil-spec unit you can get easily. |

Plenty of battery storage and with the weights removed and the battery sleeve removed I can fit my external battery pack inside for powering my GoPro. The only downside and this isn't TNVC's fault, is that there is not a lot of Velcro under the cock portion on the TW mesh cover. Other than that I love it! Attached File Attached File Attached File |

IR compatible optics are really most useful for when the NOD is mounted to the weapon. There are places that teach how to effectively use helmet mounted NODS with a weapon mounted optic, but there are special considerations and it requires high mounts and training. I've also only seen pictures of it being done with duals. |

View Quote I run my monocular on my non-dominate eye. If I need to flip up my NOD and turn on white light, I want my dark adapted eye to do the aiming. I'm not saying that's the way it's supposed to be done, that's just how I choose to roll. edited to add: for clarity, I use a DBAL i2 9007 |

The idea with the polarity markings and the orientation is when you need to a fresh battery pull it out of the sleeve and replace it with the dead battery by insering it in the wrong orientation, thus identifying it as a dead battery. By doing so, you are not changing the weight of the ballast. AA batteries are on the other side. |
