Overview

The Nocturn Industries UANVB Katana LEMO is the lightest binocular night vision housing available, with a fully assembled functional weight of 17.76 oz (with battery installed). Its articulating design allows for single or dual-eye operation, making it ideal for use alongside thermal optics, non-passive aiming systems, or while operating vehicles without headspace limitations.

This LEMO version (External Power Model) will only turn on/off via the external battery pack when connected. If using the onboard CR123a battery, the unit functions as normal using its power button.
