ABNV MGA Housing

The MGA is an extremely tough, full-featured night vision binocular that incorporates the proven features of our RNVG-A housing while adding manual gain control.  The housing is billet machined from 7075 alloy aluminum and designed to handle challenging real-world conditions. During testing, the housings far exceeded military requirements of MIL-STD-810H drop testing, surviving impacts onto concrete from heights beyond the tolerances of lenses and image intensifier tubes. The unit features a rotary switch for power that also serves as manual gain adjustment. The IR Illuminator is activated by a push-button switch. Indicators in the viewing area alert the user if the IR illuminator is on or if the unit senses a low battery condition. The unit is powered by an onboard 123 battery or auxiliary power from a battery pack using a 4-pin LEMO-style connector. The articulating design allows the user to quickly adjust for an Interpupillary Distance from 47mm to over 80mm.  Each optical pod can be rotated up out of the user’s view as desired, freeing one or both eyes for natural sight as conditions demand. When the goggle is helmet mounted and in the stowed position, the optical pods can be folded back flat against the helmet to minimize neck strain and better protect the goggle and the user from impacting overhead objects. The optical pods automatically turn off when articulated up.  This feature prevents illumination on your helmet when one side is articulated up and ensures that the image intensifiers are ‘off’ in the stowed position with the optical pods folded back against the helmet.  The force required to swing the optical pods is user adjustable using the included custom Pivot Spanner Tools or a coin. Assembly of the MGA does not require the removal of the flex cables from the image tube, preserving your tube’s warranty.  Also, the design does not require the flex to twist or crimp during assembly, further preventing damage. The goggles are available in Flat Black and Flat Dark Earth.  The components of the binocular are media blasted to give a non-reflective matte finish, then black anodized for durability.  For the FDE option, Cerakote, a proven firearms finish, is applied over the anodizing to give a tough, attractive finish.
