**WE ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING PRE-ORDERS. PACKAGES WILL BEGIN SHIPPING EARLY JANUARY** The TNVC NVG Adapter for GoPro HERO cameras allows you to capture the highest quality night vision video from the operator’s perspective. GoPro is the industry leader in extreme-use, professional video and photo camera systems. As the go-anywhere / do-anything digital camera, GoPro is in use by professional athletes, sportsmen, drivers, law enforcement, military, and just about anybody with a social media account. While these tiny cameras have long been a staple in the tactical shooting community for recording matches, training, and real-world operations, night vision compatibility has remained elusive… Until now. Enter the Tactical Night Vision Company NVG Adapter for GoPro Hero Cameras.  The NVG Adapter will attach any HERO model to a night vision goggle with a PVS-14 Eyepiece Assembly. The PVS-14 Eyepiece assembly is the most commonly-used eyepiece in professional night vision and thermal equipment; insuring maximum versatility. A translucent amber beam-splitter attaches to the rear of the goggle, bouncing the night vision image 90° into a perpendicular-mounted GoPro HERO camera. The camera mounts snugly against the goggle to minimize profile, via a clamp arm that attaches around the NVG Eyepiece Locking Ring. The user sees through the beam-splitter eyepiece normally while the first person POV is recording.  The Amber Beam-Splitter has a non-glare/reflective coating to insure no light flare in the video while also reducing the green glow signature on the operator’s face. However, the tradeoff is a slight reduction in light transmission. We recommend setting the NVG’s gain to its highest and using an infrared illuminator in extreme low light environments.  While the TNVC NVG Adapter for GoPro HERO will technically interface with all standard HERO models, it is optimized for the HERO4 Black and Silver as well as HERO3 and HERO3+. These latest models have better light-metering and narrow Field of View settings. Because it is important to gather as much light as possible through a night vision goggle, legacy GoPro HERO cameras may not produce the best results. For the first time ever, night vision operations and hunting trips can be filmed in high definition from the operator’s perspective. This amazing new capability produces unlimited tactical advantages for the Warfighter and Law Enforcement Professional on the battlefield while providing an invaluable training aid. Sportsmen can now record their stage runs during increasingly popular nighttime 3-Gun Competitions. And of course, hunters can finally show their buddies the moment they dropped that trophy hog. If you use night vision goggles, you should be using the NVG GoPro Adapter. Don’t let darkness keep you from being a HERO.  We offer the NVG GoPro HERO Adapter in several packages. Obviously, you can buy just the adapter system if you already own a GoPro camera. The HERO4 Black Package includes the NVG GoPro HERO Adapter assembly and the GoPro HERO4 Black Camera. This 4K capable camera provides the highest definition video. The HERO4 Silver Package includes the NVG GoPro HERO Adapter assembly and the GoPro HERO4 Silver Camera. This 1080p capable camera provides high definition video with a video play-back screen on the rear of the camera. **NOTE** The HERO4 Silver Camera’s video screen will face outwards and glow brightly. If you purchase this package, we highly recommend you also buy the GoPro Blackout Housing (sold separately).

Also a VERY special thanks to TCBA_Joe on this video below. Joe took this Vid early this year and is an accomplished ski instructor and I would not advise anyone to do what he does making this look simple. This is not easy and one can EASILY injure themselves. We will have more footage of Joe Diener ski videos and he can also be contacted... Instagram @TCBA_JOE Thanks as always Joe!

Thanks Vic! It was a lot of fun to get set up and do this filming. Plus, I always enjoy testing cool stuff.
ETA: Liability statement. DO NOT attempt this yourself. It was very sketchy and technical; under NODS the snow has basically no texture to it and it's difficult to see the same changes in the snow that is required for skiing, and you need to do it by feel. Also, no mountain rules were technically broken doing this. But I'd like to not push my luck.

Vic Edit CTM1...Upon our research there IS other rifle scope adapters out there for this and we shall not infringe on their designs. Torrey Pines and a few others have these out already at the last Shot Show. As stated we have other adapters to show at Shot.

Cool. I just ordered one.
I've been looking for a way to record through the viewfinder of my IR Hunter Mkii. Never quite been happy with the quality of the video output compared to what you actually see through the viewfinder and while I've rigged up a few ways of doing it with my iphone this should be a much more elegant solution. Plus no more wires to the DVR! |

Any option for clear lens or no filter? I ended up going away from my wilcox filters due to perceived gain reduction.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Any option for clear lens or no filter? I ended up going away from my wilcox filters due to perceived gain reduction. Just like Demist, the amber filter beam splitter is a compromise. While it has some major benefits (80%+ reduction of green glow on shooter's face / no light refraction), it is not without fault (15-20% loss of light to user). But, seeing as our purpose is to allow users to record through the goggle while wearing it, we went with the amber filter beam splitter that Wilcox had designed. You wouldn't want to use a recording system only to have the video full of flares and light slashes. Some have asked if it's possible to remove the amber filter while keeping the beam splitter. We looked into that and spoke to Wilcox. Doing that would compromise the structural integrity of the assembly. |
