Does the NVGRA fit my face?
The NVGRA is designed to work with most eye protection to include any swept shoorters glasses and low profile goggles, such as the classic ESS Profile NVG googles of the GWOT era. The NVGRA is not intended to be used with reading glasses, as their flat face will extend into the area occupied by the NVGRA’s beam splitter and camera assembly.
Why aren’t all of these models injection molded???
The NVGRA-14 is injection molded. There are NVGRA variants. One could ask why they aren’t all injection molded. The tooling cost to make a body mold for a new NVGRA variant is roughly $9,000 USD. Often, customers will ask for a variant that I will only ever sell less than 10 of. Each of those would have to be $900 to simply break even on the mold tooling cost. Now you may understand how it is better to offer some 3D printed parts to reach more customers!
How to tighten the NVGRA onto your NVGs
The NVGRA is designed to be clamped onto your NVG, or at least the NVG it was designed for. As dimensions can vary between the various manufacturers fullfilling the OEM orders that go into NVG assemblies, sometimes a little tape is required. Place a square of electrical tape either on the outside of your NVG diopter or within the diameter of the NVGRA’s clamping assembly. Reach out here for any fitment issues or questions.
