Also, just to let folks know, ITT has stopped producing all NV compasses due to magnetic error related issues.

Tim is correct here, that is the issue.

Does the head mount (aka skull crusher) have a magnet? I've never used one.

Does your PVS auto shut-off when you flip it up? That is what the magnet that fubar's the compass reading is there for in the first place.

ETA: Now that I have read more closely, you said HEADmount; please disregard my earlier typing.

So it's the flip up portion in the rhino mount that has the magnet? If that's the case,the head mount shoud not interfere.

there were some mounts which were not equipped for auto shutoff when you flip the unit up from your head

if you like the compass, just find one of em, or remove the magnet from an old mount, mine was just for a unit which never had the 2 brass contacts on the body of the monocular, the j arm has no wire, and the rhino mount has no magnet

look and you shall find, or modify
