Norotos INVG Hyper Mount

*** NEW PRODUCTION INVG HYPER MOUNTS HAVE A SMOOTH ARM WITHOUT THE NOTCHES ***

*** IT IS RECOMMENDED TO US NOROTOS HELMET MOUNTS WITH NOROTOS SHROUDS. THERE MAY BE TOLERANCE STACKING ISSUES BETWEEN DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS *** 

***Norotos products are built for military and law enforcement use and test-fitted at the factory, and due to the finishes used, may display wear marks or blemishes from testing, packaging, and storage, and may not have a cosmetically flawless appearance when new.

The INVG Hyper Night Vision Goggle Mount is a precision-machined, highly adjustable, modular mount.  It provides an extremely stable platform for attaching almost every type of night vision goggle used by the Department of Defense and Law Enforcement communities.  The INVG Hyper retains all of the popular features from the legacy INVG mount while adding a breakaway mode for to increase operator safety and lower the chance of gear damage as well as a modular interface system.

The INVG Hyper features a single tri-lobe mount arm that pivots on its own axis.  The single arm prevents binding under pressure, tension, and field abuse and represents the strongest mount arm in the field.  The INVG Hyper can rotate on its own axis, allowing a monocular to easily pivot from eye to the other.  But, the greatest benefit is that goggles can be stowed in a lower profile than with traditional mounts.  When the user flips the goggle up into the stow position, it can then be rotated again back towards the helmet; preventing a large night vision protrusion from the helmet that can cause snag hazards and accidental damage to the goggle.  The INVG Hyper uses a force-to-overcome stow mechanism so it can be easily and quickly flipped up and down.

The INVG Hyper utilizes a field-changeable interface system that allows operators to switch between the standard bayonet horn and dovetail interface.  It comes standard with the Dovetail Interface.  Horn Interface is sold separately.  The horn interface is compatible with the AN/PVS-7B, AN/PVS-7D, AN/PVS-14.  The dovetail interface is compatible with the AN/PVS-15, AN/PVS-18, AN/PVS-31, BNVD-G, TNV/Sentinel.  Interfaces are easily swapped without tools by manipulating a spring-loaded capture pin and sliding them off the adjustment rail.  Vertical adjustment is accomplished with ease by rotating a locking lever on top of the mount before sliding the mount up and down the vertical rail.  When the desired height is found, the lever is locked down.  This is a nice improvement over the legacy system which featured a slow worm dial.  It is also easier to actuate with gloves.

The breakaway feature is what really distinguishes the Hyper Series from the legacy mounts.  A shuttle switch allows the user to set the mount to either locked or breakaway mode.  When locked, the mount will not will come loose from the shroud without pushing the release button.  In breakaway mode, the mount will release from the shroud under a user-specified amount of force.  This is extremely useful during activities where the NVG and mount can become snagged on other gear or surfaces.  Smacking a stowed NVG on a surface during activities such as fast rope and vehicle dismount can snap the user’s head back and severely injure his/her neck.  It can also cause damage to the mounted NVG.  But, if the mount has a breakaway system like the Hyper Series, it will pop loose from the shroud.  Assuming the goggle is dummy-corded to the helmet, the user will have retain it while saving his neck.  The Hyper Series Break-Away mode is user-adjustable.  A top-mounted set screw allows operators to determine how many foot/pounds pressure are required to pop the mount loose.
