Friday Night Lights: Noisefighters’ Panobridge MK1 – Panoramic Binos.Friday Night Lights: DIY Night Vision 2.0 – Modified Functional Dummy PVS-31.3D Printed Night Vision Friday Night Lights: Nocturn Industries 3D Printed UANVB As with all of our sponsored series, Friday Night Lights will continue to bring you unbiased news and reviews from a variety of companies.Īs always, the Friday Night Lights series is brought to you by ATN Corp, manufacturers of night vision and thermal optics like the THOR LT. If you recall, Nocturn Industries came out with their dual-tube bino housing. The UANVB, also known as the Katana, has been a commercial success. It offers night vision enthusiasts an affordable articulating housing with integrated pupillary distance stops while being lighter weight than most fixed bino housings. Well, Jeffrey of Nocturn has been keeping his monocular design under wraps until now. Just like the Katana, the Tanto is 3D printed by the same Multi Jet Fusion technology. It is not your standard desktop home FDM 3D prints. The Tanto is almost like a standalone Katana monocular pod with an integrated power supply. For the sake of simplicity, the Tanto uses the same battery cap as the Katana. It is a standard constant-on clicky battery cap. On one side you have the J-Arm threaded hole and anti-rotation pocket. On the other side, you have the purge screw. Take a look at the back of the battery compartment. I will explain that a little later in this article. Nocturn Industries is also printing their own infinity focus stop rings. You can see it sitting just behind the objective lens.įor those of you paying close attention, you might have noticed the eyepiece is also 3D printed. Nocturn will be offering up their own diopter housings in the future. To help reduce weight, I used an RPO lightweight eyepiece in the Nocturn diopter housing.Īlso, it reduces the weight of your ocular lens assembly.Ī standard Carson diopter housing weighs 6 more grams than the Nocturn eyepiece. With the Nocturn diopter housing and RPO lightweight lenses, a fully built Tanto, with battery, weighs just 7.8 ounces. If you recall in my Saving Weight With Night Vision article a PVS-14 with all the weight-saving modifications weighed 9.4 ounces.Įven with Carson lenses, the Tanto is lighter weight than the PVS-14 with all the bells and whistles. With a Noisefighters X-14 arm, a complete Tanto weighs just 8.4 ounces. There are some compromises though for the lighter weight. The Tanto does not have manual gain adjustment, nor can it accommodate an 11769 tube unless you circumcise the pigtail off. Also, the Tanto does not have any onboard illumination like a PVS-14. With the X-14 arm, the Tanto is a lightweight yet versatile monocular. Some of you have forgone dedicated dual-tube binos for the Noisefighters Panobridge. The Nocturn Tanto is compatible with the Panobridge. With dual Tantos, a complete Panobridge weighs just 17.3 ounces. That is with RPO lightweight lenses and Nocturn’s diopter housings. If you have Carson lenses on both Tantos, a complete Panobridge set will weigh 19.7 ounces. Remember that cylindrical protrusion at the back of the Tanto battery compartment? It has a function. It is for the articulating bridge Nocturn will be making for the Tanto. The 3D renderings are over a year old but you can get an idea of what Jeffrey has planned. He is using the battery tube, on the monocular pod, as a hinge point. He is still using the same flange attachment design from the Katana to mount the rear of the pod. The cylindrical protrusion is the rear hinge point for the bino. For those of you who are not Weebs, Daisho is the name given to a pair of Samurai swords.
