The Noisefighters AX14-PRO™ is a lightweight night vision monocular
mounting arm for the PVS-14 and similar devices, produced with cutting
edge manufacturing and material technologies. The AX14-PRO
weighs only 0.9 oz / 26 g total, or approximately 52% less than a
milspec J-Arm, yet it is significantly more rigid due to the unique
design. Just attach a monocular, snap the complete assembly into an industry-standard dovetail helmet mount, and enjoy. An intuitive, friction-based mechanism allows users to swing the PVS-14 monocular in front of either the left or right eye and perfectly adjust for interpupillary distance.
The AX14-PRO is the successor to our original X14-Arm and includes a new, desirable feature: a
knuckle is integrated into the arm which allows the entire monocular to
both swing away from the eye temporarily and, when not in use, tightly
stow against the helmet, significantly lessening the chance for
damage during movement under doorways or out of vehicles. This knuckle
is supplemented with metal washers for smooth and consistent
movements. To be clear, the articulating knuckle permits full range of motion and tight stowing on both the left and right side.
The mechanism is pretensioned at the factory and should never need to
be adjusted, but a simple hex key wrench may be used for adjustment as
necessary.
A slight rearward sweep of the inner arm helps position the
monocular eyepiece closer to one's eye and provides greater
compatibility for those with larger helmets.
Multiple anti-rotation features prevent the monocular from rotating and loosening with vibrations.
The choice of a high performance polymer from Arkema® produces a nearly indestructible monocular mount. The highly impact-resistant
material chosen for the AX14-PRO should absorb shocks and bounce back
into shape instead of fracturing when dropped, bent, or otherwise
stressed.
All hardware is made of genuine, passivated 316 stainless
steel and mil spec anodized aluminum for the ultimate in salt water
corrosion resistance. The AX14-PRO is truly maritime rated.
A tether (or dummy cord) attachment point is featured on the rear of the AX14-PRO to keep the entire system secure.
A no-questions-asked, transferable lifetime warranty is
included. The Noisefighters AX14-PRO is proudly made and assembled in
the U.S.A. and was designed by a Marine Corps combat veteran of Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Considerations to account for when using this product:
This arm is NOT COMPATIBLE with bayonet-style night vision helmet mounts. You MUST HAVE a dovetail-type night vision helmet mount.
No auto-shutoff system is integrated. Users must manually turn off
the monocular when articulating or flipping up and stowing equipment on
top of the helmet.
AX14-PRO is designed to be used most frequently between
0F to 120F (-17C to 48C) and may not keep consistent joint tension above
or below those temperatures when the Arkema polymer expands or
contracts. Bring a 3/32" Allen wrench along to adjust joint tension if
you operate in extreme conditions.
