Ok I have avoided head mounted NV ever since wearing the standard skull crusher system when I bought my first PVS-14 many years ago. I have started thinking about trying a helmet system but am not looking to spend tons of money as I may hate it and set it aside in storage. I have been looking at the Ops-Core FAST Base Jump Shell but it needs a mount? What is a good mount thats works with this helmet plus doesn't cost a arm and leg I am just walking around the farm with no buddy shooting at me. Thanks!

Does that Rhino mount just screw in the built in NV base on the ops core helmet nothing else need as far as parts?

Snaps in!
Nothing else needed but a J-Arm of course, but you know that.

After using the Rhino I am not a fan as I cannot get to where it needs to be to fit me.
I have to adjust my head to get a clear picture through the NV tube, not comfortable or easy.
I like you was not wanting/willing to spend $400 plus on better options.

Ok Thanks for the info! I am more concerned with just trying the helmet and see if I can get use to the weight of the system if that works well enough I could invest more into a better mounting system later on. I have/had a bad disk in my neck that the old skull crusher seemed to bother time to time so ditched that system aside years ago neck is much better now figured I may try again.
