The Panobridge M1 is an all-metal bridge mount that holds two AN/PVS-14 night vision monoculars. It also works with a variety of thermal monoculars. Its patented Adjustable Field of View design lets you change the pan angle of the monoculars.
The whole structure is made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, and a 7075-T6 hardcoat anodized thumbscrew is included. With two PVS-14 arms installed, it weighs 1.9 oz. With one PVS-14 arm and one thermal monocular arm, it weighs 2.3 oz. It has been drop tested from 2 meters onto concrete while connected to AN/PVS-14 models.
To change the pan angle, grab one arm and firmly rotate the friction-based mechanism. To lock an arm at the chosen angle, tighten its top-mounted set screw with a 3/32" hex wrench or the 3/32" bit from the included NVAT (Night Vision Accessory Tool). Each side locks individually.
