Aeon Night Vision Binocular: The Definitive Articulating System with Manual Gain & Dual-Focus IR Illuminator 

• The Aeon Night Vision Binocular (ANVB) is an articulating night vision system built to exceed Mil-Spec standards for professional tactical use. This lightweight, IP68+ waterproof unit provides reliable Gen 3 White Phosphor imaging for maneuvering and surveillance in the harshest environments.
• High-Definition Gen 3 White Phosphor with Up to 2900 FOM: These L3Harris and Elbit intensifier tubes provide incredible, high-contrast images in black and white. With a Figure of Merit (FOM) reaching as high as 2900, you get a clean and sharp view that lets you spot threats in the darkest conditions.
• Total Brightness Control with Manual Gain: A single rotary knob gives you full command over the image intensity, allowing you to dim the view near streetlights or brighten it in deep shadows. This manual control prevents eye fatigue and helps you see clearly when moving between different lighting conditions with the Aeon NVG.
• Dual-Focus Flood & Spot IR Illuminator: A built-in infrared light lets you see in zero-light areas like basements or dense forests where standard night vision struggles. You can switch the ANVB beam from a wide flood to a focused spot to signal your team or light up specific targets.
• 25+ Hour Runtime with External Battery Port: The onboard CR123 battery powers the unit for over 20 hours of continuous operation. For longer missions, simply plug a battery pack into the built-in Fischer port to extend the Aeon ANVB runtime without swapping batteries in the field.

What are some common accessories to add to the Aeon Night Vision Binocular?

Extended Power Solutions for the ANVB

• Nocturn Bat Pack: This external battery pack connects directly to the ANVB integrated Fischer-style port to bypass the onboard power source. It significantly extends operational capabilities beyond the standard 25-hour runtime, ensuring continuous power for multi-day missions or extended surveillance.

Precision Mounting & System Balancing

• Wilcox G24: The definitive breakaway mount for securing the Aeon NVG to your helmet shroud. It allows for precise eye-relief adjustment and enables the binocular's automatic power cut-off feature when the unit is flipped up into the stowed position.
• Ops Core Counterweight: A customizable weight management system that attaches to the rear of the helmet. It counteracts the 579g operational weight of the Aeon Night Vision Binocular to prevent neck strain and maintain stability during rapid movement.
• Team Wendy Counterweight: Designed specifically for Team Wendy helmet systems, this kit balances the forward weight of the Aeon ANVB to ensure the helmet remains level and comfortable during long periods of use.

Optimized Helmet Platforms

• Galvion Caiman TL: A streamlined, lightweight helmet system designed for agility. It provides a rigid shroud for the ANVB mount and a stable platform that minimizes fatigue when running the binocular for extended periods.
• Ops Core FAST SF Gen 2: This high-cut ballistic helmet is optimized for weight reduction and stability. It offers a secure fit for the Aeon Night Vision Binocular (ANVB) and allows for easy integration of hearing protection and communication headsets needed for tactical operations.
• Team Wendy Exfil SL: A lightweight ballistic helmet featuring a dedicated shroud and rail system. It provides a secure, ergonomic foundation for the ANVB, ensuring the optics remain perfectly aligned with your eyes during dynamic maneuvers.

Aeon Night Vision Binocular FAQs

What is manual gain and why do I want it? 

Manual gain is like a volume knob for brightness. It lets you turn the brightness down near streetlights or up in dark woods. This gives you full control of the picture.

What does "articulating" mean? 

Articulating means each eye pod can flip up on its own. This helps if you want to use your natural eye to look at something. When you flip a pod up, it turns off automatically to save power and hide your position.

Why is the built-in IR illuminator helpful? 

The IR illuminator is like a flashlight that only night vision can see. It helps you see in total darkness, like inside a dark building. You can switch the beam from a wide light to a tight spot.

What is Adjustable IPD? 

IPD stands for Interpupillary Distance. This feature lets you slide the eye pieces closer together or further apart. This ensures the ANVB - Manual Gain Articulating Binocular matches the distance between your eyes perfectly.

Why is the external power port important? 

This port lets you plug in a separate battery pack. This is important for long trips because it lasts longer than the single battery inside the unit.

What is SNR? 

SNR stands for Signal-to-Noise Ratio. It measures how clear the image is. A higher number means you see a clean picture with very little static or fuzz.

What is FOM?

 FOM stands for Figure of Merit. It is a total score used to grade how good the night vision tube is. A higher FOM number means the tube gives you a sharper and better image.

Why is Gen 3 White Phosphor important?

Gen 3 White Phosphor tubes give you a clear black-and-white view. This looks more natural than the old green glow and helps you see details better.

How do I know the night vision is built correctly?

 Every unit is tested and aligned using a professional machine called the Hoffman ANV-126A. This makes sure the two images are perfectly straight so they do not hurt your eyes.

Why is it not recommended to use rechargeable batteries in the ANVB? 

Rechargeable batteries can leak. This can damage the expensive electronics inside your Aeon Night Vision Binocular. This damage can cause the unit to stop working completely.

What type of batteries should I use for my ANVB? 

We recommend using lithium CR123 batteries. Lithium batteries are stable and safe, which helps your gear last longer.

What should I do if my ANVB doesn't turn on? 

If your unit does not turn on, try these steps:

• Check the Battery Direction: Make sure the battery is facing the right way.
• Use a New Battery: Even if the battery looks new, try a fresh one to be sure.

How can I get different housing colors or special lenses?
