PANOBINO™ is the first official collaboration between AB Night Vision and Noisefighters and features an on-the-fly adjustable field of view dual tube night vision binocular, full articulation giving the ability to quickly move a single pod away from one’s eye or tightly stow pods against the helmet, dual infrared illuminators, manual gain control, independent power sources for each monocular to provide a fallback in case of battery or electronics failure, and a completely 7075-T6 hardcoat anodized aluminum construction. PANOBINO offers a patented technology (U.S. patent 12,114,723) that displays an on-demand panoramic image ~50% wider than normal binoculars, and since the RVM-14s are removable, an adapter arm for thermal imagers may be swapped in to build a dual band night vision and heat sensing binocular. In the standard configuration, the standalone bridge mount weighs 1.8oz / 50g (this is more than a quarter ounce lighter than a flimsy polymer milspec J-arm), while a complete system with dual RVM-14s and milspec lens installed weighs approximately 22oz / 625g, and a complete system with dual RVM-14s and RPO lightweight lenses weighs closer to 19 oz / 540g. PANOBINO offers on-the-fly pan angle adjustment with the ability to individually lock each side, extreme rigidity, and bulletproof durability. To adjust the pan angle, simply grab one arm and firmly rotate the friction-based mechanism. To mechanically lock an arm at the chosen pan angle, take a 3/32″ hex wrench or the 3/32″ bit from the included NVAT (Night Vision Accessory Tool) and tighten the top-mounted set screw. – – Even though it is ultralight and rigid, durability is still our top priority, and PANOBINO is thoroughly ruggedized due to the sole use of the highest-performing 7075-T6 aluminum alloy for the entire structure. Both monoculars attached to the Noisefighters PANOBINO 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 be aided by a thermal vision system, this added articulation feature is crucial. This feature also allows the monoculars 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. We offer separate a metal adapter 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 adapter can be mounted to either side of the PANOBINO if one desires to remove either of the RVM-14 adapter arms. A slider is included to adjust the interpupillary distance. For those using the high-performance Infiray® RH-25, N-Vision® NOX18, or similar thermal devices with male dovetail mounts installed, we also offer a separate quick-detach (QD) adapter for the fastest installation and removal. The adapter can be mounted to either side of the PANOBINO. A slider is included to adjust the interpupillary distance. –
