Night Vision Goggles vs. Binoculars: Addendum

An additional point to the post below, is whether the night vision system comes (as part of the purchase) with a head mount and/or helment mount. Binoculars are typically heavy, due to the dual optics, and head mounting and helmet mounting becomes too cumbersome. So, if the system comes with a head mount and/or helmet mount, then this will be an indication that the system is more inclined to be used as a goggle, rather than a binocular. An example would be the popular AN/PVS-15 Dual Tube Night Vision Binocular. It does not come with a head mount or a helmet mount, and therefore it falls under the binocular category. However, that is not say that someone could not headmount it and use it as a goggle. It will just be a heavy off over the face.

Usually, every night vision scope has an image intensifier which is considered to be the absolute state-of-the-art in night vision technology. This has come with the introduction of the technology of DEP XD-4 Image Intensifier - the latest in European standards.
