The EOTECHA(R) ClipNV is a rifle-mounted Night Vision device that has been created to offer superior target detection and identification capabilities to users. It can be clipped on to low to medium power (1-12X) magnification day sights to provide nighttime targeting while maintaining the same ballistic zero as the day optic. The device is easy to use, with ergonomically positioned ON/OFF, Manual Gain Control, and Focus knobs. The ClipNV can be quickly and easily attached to Picatinny (1913) rails in front of an existing day optic. Additionally, it has an auxiliary Picatinny rail that allows for the installation of accessory equipment such as IR illuminators or designators.
