ACT in Black DTNVS - Get Yours Now! The lightest, highest-performing binocular night vision system for clear sight in the dark.
- The ACT in Black DTNVS is an upgraded binocular night vision system that is lighter and more durable than previous models. It offers a lightweight design that helps reduce neck strain and improves comfort during long-term use.
- Pivoting Monoculars: The independent pivoting monocular pods can be rotated away from the center housing and out of your field of view. This allows for clear, natural vision through one or both eyes, which is useful in enclosed spaces or tight quarters.
- Auto Shut-Off: When a monocular pod is rotated past 60 degrees, it automatically cuts power to the intensifier tube. This feature protects the tubes and prevents light from a "backsplash" effect.
- Simplified Power: The DTNVS runs on a single CR123A battery. This simplifies the power source, reduces weight and complexity, and provides over 25 hours of battery life.
- Tube and Lens Variety: We offer the DTNVS housing with a variety of intensifier tubes, including L3 Harris Filmless White Supergain, L3 Harris Filmless White, Elbit Thin Film White, Photonis Green and White, and Imported Gen 2+. We also offer a range of optics, including standard Mil-Spec options, RPO Ultralight, and Act in Black 50-Degree FOV systems.
DTNVS Night Vision Review
What are some common accessories to add to the Act DTNVS?
Helmet Integration for the Dual Tube NVGS
- Wilcox G24: This mount is the gold standard for securely attaching your DTNVS to a helmet. The G24 allows the DTNVS to be flipped up and stowed, or flipped down into the operating position, maintaining stability and proper alignment.
System Balancing for the Dual Tube NVGS
- Ops Core Counterweight: This accessory attaches to the rear of your helmet to offset the weight of the DTNVS on the front. Balancing the system reduces neck strain and improves comfort during long periods of use.
- Team Wendy Counterweight: Designed to work with Team Wendy helmets, this counterweight helps balance the DTNVS, distributing its weight evenly across the head. This is critical for preventing neck fatigue and maintaining a stable platform.
Headborne Platforms for the Dual Tube NVGS
- Galvion Caiman Ballistic: A high-performance ballistic helmet that provides a rugged platform for mounting the DTNVS. It offers protection and a stable base for the night vision system.
- Ops-Core FAST SF Gen 2: This helmet is a lightweight, high-cut ballistic helmet that is an ideal platform for the DTNVS. Its design allows for the seamless integration of accessories while providing ballistic protection.
- Team Wendy Exfil SL: A super lightweight ballistic helmet that provides a solid and comfortable mounting solution for the DTNVS, minimizing the overall weight of your headborne system.
- HighCom Striker RCHMC: This helmet offers a robust and reliable platform for the DTNVS, ensuring your night vision system remains secure and stable during demanding operations.
System Camouflage for the Dual Tube NVGS
- Agilite Mitznefet: This cover is designed to break up the distinct silhouette of a helmet and night vision system like the DTNVS. It can be compressed or expanded to change the shape, making the wearer harder to spot.
ActinBlack DTNVS Features & Specifications
The ACT in Black DTNVS is a product-improved binocular night vision system that offers a significant advantage to military, law enforcement, and civilian users. Its core value comes from a design that is both lighter and more durable than previous models, helping to reduce neck strain during long operations. A key differentiator is its independently pivoting monocular pods, which can be moved out of the line of sight for clear, natural vision. This, combined with an automatic shut-off feature, makes it an essential tool for tactical flexibility and improved safety in high-stakes environments.
Key Features
- Independent Monocular Shut-Off: The monoculars can pivot away from the center housing, and they automatically shut off to protect the tubes and prevent light from affecting the user's vision.
- Built-in IR Illuminator: The DTNVS includes an internal IR LED for use in situations with no ambient light. A red indicator light in the eyepiece shows when the IR is active.
- Lightweight & Rugged: The DTNVS is one of the lightest high-performance goggles on the market. Despite its low weight, it is rated to exceed MIL-STD-810G protocols for drop and impact.
- Lenses and Tubes: The system is available with a variety of intensifier tubes, including L3 Harris Filmless White Supergain, L3 Harris Filmless White, Elbit Thin Film White, Photonis Green and White, and NNVT White. It is also compatible with CAGE-coded lenses and offers options like Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) and ACT in Black 50-Degree FOV systems.
- Waterproof: The unit is waterproof and can be immersed in 20 meters (66 feet) of water for up to two hours.
