Patent-Pending: On October 27, 2023 a patent was filed detailing novel features for NVG recording adapters. You will begin to see these features realized in new products releasing soon. Some of the features are so ground breaking that they will take time to develop beyond what initial reduction-to-practice prototypes in order to create the best user experience. Key Claims: You can find these yourself in the filed document via the US PTO, but they are summarized here in short: ...

People often reach out asking if the NVGRA can fit onto other optics. This ranges from other NVGs to thermals, to rifle scopes. The answer is yes! Adapter Rings The NVGRA-14’s clamp has an inner diameter of 48mm. Checkout the schematic for additional critical dimensions when determining compatibility with your optic. For diameters less than ~47mm, tape can be used to build up the diameter of your optic, but it must be done so symmetrically, otherwise you may suffer from the beam splitter not being centered. For precision, the below adapters can be used. Feel free to download and print them. Don’t have a printer? Reach out to us! ...

The PMN-2 Simulator I drafted the PMN-2 Simulator back in 2021 based on a similar design we used to train with on Ft Bragg. Recent events in Ukraine have shown that the PMN-2 anti-personel landmine, and many other nomenclatures of landmines, will be a threat for years to come. By distributing files for a free landmine simulator, I hope to aid those who train for future mine clearance operations. Feel free to print, sell, use, and prank your friends as you see fit! ...

There are a few keys to successful NVG footage recording with a GoPro. GoPro Settings Resolution: 4K FPS: 60 Both Resolution & FPS could be set lower on older models to increase the captured light, but that is not such a big deal on the Hero 11 series. Lens: Linear This is important. Any other lens setting will result in smaller footage. Disable Hypersmooth Their algorithm doesn’t work with NVG footage and will end up moving the NVG circle all over the place. ISO MIN: 100 ISO MAX: 800 White Balance 3200K Sharpness: Medium Color: Flat Advanced There are other tweaks to be made, such as EV-comp (try -1), shutter-speed (2x your FPS is the rule), sharpness, and more. Go out there, do some experiments, and report back! ...

My primary motivator when inventing the NVGRA was to let soldiers, sailors, airmen, & marines capture those memories that occur under NVGs. If only I had NVG footage of hopping onto a blackhawk in the Pech that only had it’s front weels touching the mountain terrace. Or rolling blackout at 50 MPH down mountain roads. Or humping 100 lbs of kit at 15,000 feet all night. The list goes on! Military personel do some of their most extreme things under NVGs and they need better solutions to bring those moments back for teaching & sharing. ...
