I have one on a pvs14 thats a dedicated head mount.
it gets bulky and you feel the weight after a few hours.
One the other hand, I use it in either patrol or outline and NOTHING escapes it. I love it because I can actually see at with night vision and if something is hiding in the shadows the thermal points it out.
Ive been all over with night vision since 1988 and this with a good filmless tube is my choice. Rifle mount, I've have gone full circle night vision thermal back to night vision. I like to shoot thumpers (45 raptor, 50B, etc etc) They've eaten about every 18mm tube and a thermal "most" covered under warranty.
For me the best setup has been the pvs14 with a clip on to equal a poor mans fusion unit. Flip it up to shoot, and shoot with a PVS4. Poeple snark at me on the pvs4 but it works and none of them will loan me a tube to put on a thumper. Plus the 4 is about to be gen3
