Nocturn "Tanto" (Elbit Thin-Film)

  • $4,295.00


PLEASE INQUIRE FOR STOCK STATUS BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER

The Nocturn Industries “Tanto” Ultralight Adaptable Night Vision Monocular (UANVM) is the cornerstone of Nocturn’s adaptable series of night vision devices.  It is ultra-lightweight, rugged, compact, and versatile. 

The “Tanto” is compatible with standard PVS-14 mounts and other accessories, but a unique feature of this monocular is its ability to be powered by a proprietary articulating bridge system called the TAB “Daisho” (Tanto Articulating Bridge).  This allows the user to easily pair two Tantos together to form a dual tube night vision unit at a moments notice.  The “Daisho” bridge allows both Tantos to be powered by a single battery, and features IP stops similar to the UANVB “Katana”.  It works equally well on its own as a standalone monocular as well. 

The UANVM “Tanto” is comprised of a simple, minimalist design.  A single push button on/off in the cap reduces weight and size as compared to a PVS-14, and automatic brightness control adjusts gain to the appropriate levels without user input.

Housing and Optics Information

The Nocturn UANVM “Tanto” is built using a ultra-durable polymer housing which exceeds MIL-STD-810G and IP-68 ingress and durability specifications.  Power is supplied by a single CR123A battery, which provides up to 40 hours of continuous use.  The “Tanto” housing is available in Matte Black, Coyote, and OD Green H-Series Cerakote finishes. 

High-quality Carson Mil-Spec objective lens and eyepiece optics are used standard and provide excellent image quality and light transmission.

Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) ultralight objective lenses and eyepieces are available as an upgraded option.  RPO optics are approximately 20% lighter weight than standard Mil-Spec optics without any sacrifice of image quality. 

All units are professionally assembled, nitrogen-purged, and thoroughly tested.

Image Intensifier Tube Information

This Nocturn UANVM “Tanto” is available with the following Image Intensifier Tube options:

  • Elbit Systems USA Thin-Film White Phosphor, 2000-2376 FOM, "Grade A"

All units are built using high-quality, meticulously-selected, brand-new image intensifier tubes.  All image intensifiers we use are “Grade-A”, meaning they have the most stringent spot (blemish) tolerances. 

Elbit thin-film tubes perform well in most conditions with minimal ambient light.  These tubes are an excellent value, produce a great image, and are more affordable than L-3 tubes.  They work exceptionally well in urban environments with some ambient light.

Warranty Information:

The Nocturn Industries UANVM “Tanto” is built to extremely rugged specifications and designed to last a long time under harsh professional use.  These units carry a lifetime “no-questions-asked” housing warranty and a five-year overall system warranty, so buy with confidence that you will be enjoying this unit for years to come.
