Description
Aeon Tac ANVB — Articulating Binocular Housing (Housing Only)
The ANVB housing from Aeon Tac — the same platform as our complete ANVB unit, sold without tubes or optics for builders. Fiber-reinforced skeletonized polymer. Manual gain, dual-focus IR, independent pod shutoff, programmable auto-stow shutoff, IPD stops, Fischer external battery port. 5-year warranty including accidental damage. Requires MX-11769 format tubes for manual gain.
This listing is housing only. Tubes and optics are not included.
Housing Features
Fiber-reinforced skeletonized polymer
Lightweight and durable. Skeletonized design reduces overall system weight without sacrificing structural integrity.
Manual gain via rotary switch
Single rotary knob controls both power and gain. Turn to power on, keep rotating to dial brightness down. Requires MX-11769 format tubes — MX-10160 tubes are compatible but gain function is not available.
Independent pod shutoff
Each pod powers off automatically when rotated up — eliminating helmet glow and protecting tubes from light exposure.
Programmable auto-stow shutoff
System powers off when flipped to stowed position, powers back on when deployed. Toggleable — on or off per user preference.
Dual-focus IR illuminator
Built-in IR with flood and spot modes. Activated with a double-press of the power switch.
IPD stops included
Pods return to the same position every time.
CR123A + Fischer external port
Onboard CR123A with Fischer port for external battery pack.
5-year warranty including accidental damage
Aeon Tac covers the housing for 5 years including accidental damage — applies to the housing only, not tubes or optics.
