After watching a lot of videos, I can say this is the best. Actually going linearly through each piece and how they interact certainly is basic, but it’s so basic that most videos overlook it entirely. As a novice to NVGs, your video finally allowed me to understand what’s going on and make sure I ordered the correct parts. Do you have any tips for tethering the PVS-14 to the helmet for security in the event the device becomes dislodged by accident, or is fumbled when taking it off?

It took me a fair bit of time and effort to learn this stuff for myself so it seemed like a gap in the market, as it were. Good question, I have the wilcox retracting lanyard, but honestly you can just use any bit of string that's long enough when the device is deployed horizontal.

Agreed don’t spend $3000 on an NVG and then $100 MOUNT.

Finally I understand the mounting components and how they fit together! maybe I'm slow ;D but your video was the first one (of many many) that actually explain it clearly and practically. Thank you

Hello, I did mount my nvg Mount about 1 cm off to the side. I glued it so there is no way to remove it from the Kevlar shell. Is there a mount to compensate my fault? Thank you.

This was a great guide even though I'm using no function dummy goggles for a cosplay that I'm doing

Cool rig! You're in 2018 with that kit and I'm sat back in the year 2000 with a set of PVS-7's, Norotos Rhino Mount and uhhhh, a G&P USA Night Vision CNC Shroud (Norotos clone). Thats all attached to a Fairy-soft IBH helmet. Do I know how to live, or what? lol.

I've never seen through 7s, but hey a lot of guys got a lot done with IBHs, Norotos and the 7s. In reality sports type bump helmets are gonna be way more comfortable anyway and it's not like we need ballistic protection for the game. If it's a decent tube in the NVD then that's all you need. The difference between having nothing at all and any device can be significant then it's the usual case of diminishing returns. That's why I didn't want to spend on dual tubes seeing as you don't actually gain any real FOV but the single tube has a big plus in terms of going from NV to white light usage/battles.

@@CKinnerley Thanks for the reply. The intel that I've gathered so far has been that anything other than the proprietary J-arm simply will not fit around the housing itself, due to its width. I really would like to be able to have that capability, and while its almost a certainty I will have to go with their specific tech I would like to see if there were any alternatives.

The bungee cords that are attached to the helmet are they there to stay in place and keep the shroud and whole nvd device more stable or are you supposed to hook it into your night vision of choice for retention.

The helmet is a TMC fast helmet (multicam version) and the helmet cover is the TMC mesh multicam cover I believe. Helmet: www.weapon762.com/helmet/1793-tmc-fast-mt-super-high-cut-helmet.html#/4-color-multicam The helmet cover could be either from EMERSONGEAR or TMC, I'm not entirely sure.

Several friends own L4 G24s, so I can answer this for you. It slides in at the top; clicks in at the bottom. The L4 G24 has the option of setting it to come off your helmet in a force-to-overcome fashion if you bump it hard enough in order to save your neck. You can also disable the force-to-overcome feature.

When you're sending a notification to the phone of the person in the video it's pretty weird to refer to them in the 3rd person. Anyone with an IQ above 50 can figure out how to click in the mount once they have it in their hands, you won't require instructions.
