BNVD-1431 Mk.II

The BNVD-1431 is an excellent binocular, we recommend it to all users looking for a seriously dependable unit. It boasts an abundance of features whilst maintaining a low cost, when compared to other housing options. The BNVD makes use of injection moulded nylon plastics, with an array of aluminum parts for increased rigidity. 

This housing has proven itself in design and in practice, being utilised by SAR, MIL and LEO throughout the world. It is manufactured by Argus and quality controlled by OPFOR Night Solutions in Canada.

As with all products purchased from us, we perpetuate support and maintenance for them regardless of whether the manufacturer is continuing with production. This means that, if you are the owner of a BNVD-1431 Mk.I Housing, we would be glad in assisting you to upgrade to this newer variant. We offer pricing discounts at the value of your current unit, or we can sell your previous components / set up on consignment for a price of your choosing. 

We offer our BNVD-1431 builds in Photonis and NNVT image intensifers.

All of our Photonis image intensifiers utilise AUTOGATED 3-pin MX10160 tubes which allows them to have manual gain. Our NNVT tubes, unless stated otherwise, are non-gated and utilise the standard 2-pin MX10160 format. You can read our article on NNVT here.

It features:

- Articulating pods. Most binocular systems manufactured nowadays feature articulation, which allows the user to quickly and easily rotate a pod upwards to view something such as a phone or an indoor environment. The articulation sacrifices rigidity and ruggedness for ease of use and user comfort.

- Infrared illuminator. The illuminator can be toggled by a double press of the power button. A red light will glow indicating the feature is on. The illuminator is only useful for seeing a few meters in front of you, so we recommend it for pitch black pathfinding, as it will make it easier to see your feet, or lighting up a dark room.

- Interpupillary stops (IPD stops). These allow the user to adjust the pods distance across the eyes, which stops the goggles from articulating further past that point.

- Auto stow shut off. When the binocular is stowed on your helmet, it will turn off automatically to protect the tubes from light damage. Remember to always keep your lenses covered when not in use, your tubes can still be damaged even when not on.

- Manual gain. When utilised with manual gain tubes.

- Waterproof at 2 meters for 30 minutes.

- Onboard and Offboard power by utilizing a single AA battery as well as having the option to attach an external battery pack via a fischer connector.

- Inactivity shut off. If the unit has not been moved for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically shut off to protect the tubes from potential damage if left accidentally turned on.

 - Aluminium D-Collar focus stop to prevent the objective lens from coming out whilst changing focus.
