The MK3
version of the popular Noisefighters Panobridge improves upon previous
iterations of the Panobridge by adding Pano-Lock bars that allow users
to lock the horizontal FOV to allow for rapid adjustments. It is
optimized for popular thermal devices like the IRay RH25, PFalcon640,
RL25, PFalcon384, and NOX18. Using the optional QD Dovetail Adapter,
users have the choice of seamlessly using thermal on one eye, and night
vision on the other to create a hybrid thermal setup. The MK3 is
designed out of the box to be used in tandem with the QD Dovetail Adapter.
The Noisefighters Panobridge is a night vision bridge mount
that features an adjustable field of view to provide up to 75 degrees of
viewing angle with any two PVS-14s, yet weighs less than a single
J-arm. Now fully compatible with iRay MH25s and Flir Breach, the
Panobridge MK2 comes with one free attachment arm for night vision /
thermal fusion setups.
The Panobridge provides a panoramic night vision image by exploiting
the brain's ability to merge split images from two outwards-angled
monoculars into one cohesive picture. The adjustable field of view
provides users with substantially-increased situational awareness, as
well as the the flexibility to use the bridge in a traditional "straight
forward" configuration if desired.
By utilizing two points of articulation along two axes, users can
adjust the field of view to suit the task at-hand, or swing each
monocular sideways for rapid stowage.
A common complaint of dual PVS-14 bridged systems has always been the
associated weight. The Panobridge alleviates the total system weight of
such systems and only weighs in at 42g. If used with a lightweight
monocular, such as a Nocturn Industries Tanto, the total system weight
can be brought down to under 550g with milspec optics and batteries,
comparable to a dedicated binocular system while offering increased
capability.
Usage with thermal monoculars
The Panobridge MK3 can be bundled with the QD Dovetail Adapter or the Mini-rail Attachment (both sold separately) to allow users to run a hybrid thermal setup.

“What Noisefighters has managed to do with the Panobridge is
incredible. The fact that I can stow a lightweight, compact, panoramic
night vision goggle in my cargo pocket is game changing. The Panobridge
presents the first worthwhile alternative to quad tube goggles that I’ve
found. It is simple and tough, and by integrating standard AN/PVS-14
monoculars, it eliminates many logistical headaches.” -Retired Master
Sergeant Bob Keller, owner of Gamut Resolutions training group and a ten year member of the U.S. Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta (Delta Force).
“Most people and organizations can’t afford quad tube goggles.
The Panobridge, coupled with two AN/PVS-14s, is the first alternative to
quad tube goggles that I can now recommend for those looking for
panoramic night vision." - Jon "Mochabear" Dufresne, owner of Kinetic Consulting training group, a former U.S. Army Ranger, and current executive protection and law enforcement consultant who is additionally on staff with Sage Dynamics.
"So, basically, the Panobridge, in my opinion, it's the best dual PVS-14 bridge mount available right now." -Nitewalker, from his video review.
The patent pending Noisefighters Panobridge provides a
panoramic night vision image by exploiting the brain's ability to merge
split images from two outward-angled monoculars into one cohesive
picture. The so-called tube effect that is traditionally experienced
with single or dual intensifiers is eliminated. With our innovative AFOV
(Adjustable Field of View) mechanism and resulting wide-view image, you
can enjoy vastly improved situational awareness and the feeling like
you're not even looking through image intensifying tubes. Whether
it's driving a vehicle and seeing through nearly the entire windshield
or clearing a building and not missing an unexpected visitor coming down
the stairs in your periphery, the Noisefighters Panobridge will open up
new possibilities for efficient and safe work at night, allowing you to
focus more on the task at hand and less on panning and scanning for
threats or points of interest.
Importantly, users can switch back to traditional
straight-ahead tube orientation when desired by quickly swapping out the
7.5 degree angled PanoLok bar to the straight, 0 degree angled PanoLok
bar. No specialized training is required and no other
equipment is necessary. Simply attach two standard AN/PVS-14 monoculars
to this featherweight bridge using the new, included Noisefighters Night Vision Accessory Tool,
snap the complete assembly into an industry-standard dovetail helmet
mount, and start seeing everything you were missing before.
We offer separate
adapters to mount thermal monoculars that utilize the Mini-Rail / MUM
attachment method, such as FLIR® Breach, Infiray® MH-25 / RH-25 (with
mini-rail installed), Sionyx® OPSIN, or the MUM-14 night vision
monocular. The arm can be mounted to either side of the Panobridge.
For those using the high-performance Infiray® RH-25 or similar thermal devices with male dovetail mounts installed, we also offer separate quick-detach (QD) adapters for the fastest installation and removal.
The Noisefighters Panobridge weighs only 1.7 oz total in its
standard configuration, making it the lightest bridge mount offered. This
is approximately 65% less than the KVC® Universal Night Vision Bridge
with OSS shoe sets installed, approximately 25% less than the IC® Dual
PVS-14 Light Weight Mounting System, and is even 11% lighter than a single milspec J-Arm. We
have optimized rigidity, strength, and durability while following the
Marine Corps adage of, "Ounces equal pounds, and pounds equal pain." With Nightline, Inc. NL914C Power Packs installed
on each AN/PVS-14, it is possible to achieve panoramic night vision
with a total weight of 21.7 oz, or 20.1 oz with RPO lightweight lenses
installed, or 16.0 oz with Nocturn Industries Tanto monoculars + RPO
lightweight lenses. Depending on the configuration, this
can be lighter than traditional night vision goggles that do not include
panoramic viewing capabilities.
Even though it is ultralight, durability is still our top
priority, and Panobridge is essentially indestructible due to its
high-performance Arkema® polymer construction. We have successfully conducted 2 meter drop tests with
the Panobridge Mk3 connected to +10% heavier AN/PVS-14 models, and we
have attempted to be as transparent as possible by publishing an
unfiltered list of components damaged by customers since the 2021 launch
right here. With well over a thousand bridges in the wild and only two reported breakages over the last two years, we are confident that this product is suitable for duty use.
The Noisefighters Panobridge also changes the game by introducing
the ability to peer through the gap between laterally-rotated
monoculars with an unaided eye to use a handheld thermal image, or view a scene using ambient light to better gauge distance, texture, color, or lighting. This is similar to the technique provided by using a single PVS-14 on a J-Arm, but it is now available for multi-tube use.
In addition, both monoculars attached to the Noisefighters
Panobridge may be individually swung upwards, out of the line of sight,
without disturbing the adjacent device's positioning. For
extended periods when one eye must view scenes unaided by night vision
or instead aided by a thermal vision system, this added articulation
feature is crucial. This feature also allows the PVS-14's to better hug
the helmet when the entire assembly is folded back in the stowed
position, leading to a more balanced center of gravity and a reduced
possibility of impacting door frames or other objects above the head.
A no-questions-asked, transferable lifetime warranty is
included. The patent pending Noisefighters Panobridge 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:
Panobridge Mk3 is designed to be used most frequently between
0F to 120F (-17C to 48C) and may not keep consistent arm joint tension
above or below those temperatures when the Arkema® polymer expands or
contracts. Bring a 9/64" Allen / hex wrench along to adjust arm joint
tension if you operate in extreme conditions. Panobridge Mk3 now comes
with the Noisefighters Night Vision Multitool, which includes a 9/64"
hex bit.
1. Due to the nature of night vision optics, all known
binocular and quad-tube goggles have a very narrow non-visual central
zone directly in front of the device, between each tube, where the user
cannot see objects with either eye. The width of this zone is only a
couple of inches at its maximum, and the depth of this zone is typically
around 6 inches / 0.15 m for goggles with traditional 40 degree field
of view lenses and an interpupillary distance of 65 mm. When monoculars
are panned outward, however, the length of this zone extends several
inches due to the geometry involved. Through testing, we can confirm
that this does not affect the ability to naturally acquire reflex sights
and similar aiming devices, as the sights are viewed slightly offset
from the center of vision and away from this non-visual zone.
2. When both monoculars are panned outwards, there is
technically a loss in visual resolution in the center of view where the
two images overlap due to the nature of night vision optics. During
movement, this is basically ignored, as one's eyes and head are never
stationary. When in a static position, however, it may be noticed, and
this issue can be compensated for by viewing objects outside of the
center of view for maximum sharpness by turning one's head. It is always
up to the user to decide how much panning is optimum for the given
situation. Panobridge Mk3 includes new PanoLok bars which physically
limit the amount of panning in order to provide the best overall balance
of field of view, depth perception, and optical performance, regardless
of whether a user has milspec lenses or non-milspec RPO lightweight
lenses installed. With the 7.5 degree angled PanoLok bar installed on
Panobridge and when used with genuine milspec lenses inside an AN/PVS-14
with L3 filmless intensifiers, our in-house testing has shown that a
typical user with excellent vision in both eyes will be able to read the
same line on a Snellen eye chart at 20 feet as they would with the 0
degree (non-angled) PanoLok bar installed.
3. There is a technical consideration called collimation that
may need to be accounted for when using two PVS-14 monoculars. In the
simplest terms, images from two bridged monoculars may not be perfectly
in tune. For most users, this is not an issue that can be easily
perceived, as the brain can usually overcome this misalignment. At
worst, the user will experience eye strain after long periods of time
using their night vision goggle. If necessary, hire a technician to
collimate your paired PVS-14s, or read online about how to perform a DIY
collimation. Done correctly, there is no need to re-purge the
monocular.
4. No auto-shutoff system is integrated. Users must manually
turn off the monocular when flipping up and stowing equipment on the top
of the helmet.
5. This bridge is NOT COMPATIBLE with horn/bayonet style mounts. You MUST HAVE a dovetail interface mount, such as a Wilcox L4 G24.
The cheapest yet adequate option for a sturdy dovetail-compatible
helmet mount is to purchase a military surplus Norotos® RHNO-II
(bayonet) mount and modify it to accept the Norotos PVS-15/18 dovetail
adapter. Instructions can be found on YouTube here. Our recommendation for a pre-assembled helmet mount with dovetail adapter is the Wilcox® G22 or G24.
6. Let us be clear: while the Panobridge brings panoramic night
vision to the masses for the first time, this product does not
replicate the view that quad-tube goggles provides. Two milspec PVS-14s
connected to the Panobridge Mk3 with the PanoLok 7.5 angled bar
installed provides an approximately 55 degree wide field of view, while
the most popular quad-tube goggle provides a constant 97 degree field of
view from four image intensifying tubes. However, that quad-tube goggle
has a single-source supplier for any repairs, has difficult-to-obtain
spare parts, is quite bulky when assembled and requires special
plus-sized containers for on-body storage when not in use, is quite
heavy, has no independent gain control, utilizes a single
(non-redundant) power system, is wide enough to block most peripheral
vision of an unaided eye, and is sold for over $40,000. For context,
when our Panobridge is used, the end user can save significant weight,
the entire goggle is small enough to fit inside a cargo pocket, the run
time nearly doubles, there is a redundant power supply, and the total
price is just a tiny fraction of the quad-tube goggle. We believe that
the vast majority of end users will find the difference in field of view
compensated for by the extremely high value proposition that the
Panobridge brings to the table.
