You just got your RVM-14 and now you need to pick out what accessories you need to mount this guy to your helmet properly. So when I mean properly, one of the benefits to the RVM-14 over the PVS-14 is its form factor. And we are also offering accessories that help optimize this device according to its smaller form factor. So what that means, long story short, is that we are able to mount this guy tighter and more streamlined to your helmet either as a solo device or on a bridge paired with another RVM-14 or a thermal. So let's get into the two accessories we are selling for the RVM-14.

We have the ABMAX14. So this is going to be essentially your standard J-Arm type mount. Again, that is optimized for your RVM-14. So when you get it, it comes in this metal tin just like this. I kind of pulled it out already. The arm itself will be in this little black baggie. And then in here besides a QC card and a sticker, you are going to have this Allen key that is going to help you mount it to the device itself. So if we want to compare this to the Wilcox J-Arm, as you guys can see, it is much smaller. It is going to weigh a little bit less and it is also going to have a lot more articulation. So first thing I am going to do is I am actually going to mount the J-Arm, the Wilcox J-Arm to the device, put it on the helmet so you guys can see how much better the NoiseFighter arm for the RVM-14 is. So this screws on just like your standard PVS-14, nice and easy. Attaches to your helmet just like that. And now up on the helmet, this is what I have. So in the stowed configuration, this is about as far as it will go. I put it down in front of my face. I can go between left and right eye.

And that is about all we get out of this, out of the Wilcox J-arm. Moving over to the NoiseFighters, go ahead and take this guy off. This is a much more streamlined solution. So to mount this guy on the RVM-14, you are going to have a rail section, kind of system going on with the RVM-14. You are going to just slide this guy on, ensuring that the set screw is orientated towards the hole that is on the housing itself. So you just slide it on, and you take this Allen key that comes with the device and then you just tighten it on.

Now you don't need any Loctite or anything like that. It should only take about a full turn and about a quarter and you will be good to go. So as you guys can see already, this is much more streamlined. Now when we mount it onto the helmet, it mounts on the exact same way. But this articulates all the way to the helmet. So obviously, like I said, this is the fourth time I said the word streamlined, now fifth. This is much more streamlined to the helmet. So when I deploy this guy, I have a lot more range of adjustability to where I want this device. So either over my left eye or over my right eye. Just kind of loosen this guy up and then you just have a lot more adjustability. So that is the noise fighters ABMAX14 kind of J-Arm for the RVM-14.

Now the next successor we have is just an adapter for your RVM-14 to mount to the panobridge. So one of the great things about the RVM-14 again is its form factor, but the ability to pair it with another RVM-14 is much better compared to a standard PVS-14 because it is much smaller. So if I pair two of these together, it is not going to weigh a lot more than a standard set of dual tubes. It is only going to be an ounce or two heavier. Comparatively to PVS-14 is much heavier. So we have an adapter so that you can optimize the mounting solution for your RVM-14 to the panobridge. So you can have two devices mounted next to each other or you can have one RVM-14 mounted next to a thermal device, which I am going to demonstrate here. So first we are going to take off the J-Arm because we are going to use the same exact rail system here.

Now we have basically the same component that is on the J-Arm itself, but it is for the panobridge. So the panobridge, if you are not familiar, is to attach two devices, either two 14s, RVM or PVS-14s, or one of the two with a thermal of some kind. And the cool thing about the panobridge is not only does it articulate, but it also pans, which is something I will demonstrate here once we get all this mounted up. So we are going to attach this the exact same way, just to make sure that set screw is oriented towards the hole that is on the housing.

Additionally what comes in the package of your RVM-14 adapter is a screw and a couple of washers. And then you are going to get the same allen key as with the J-Arm. So when we are mounting this guy to the panobridge, I just want to make sure this is orientated in the proper way. And I am actually going to make sure the objective limit is facing down. I think it is a little bit easier to mount it this way.

Them I'm going to go ahead and just slide the device into the panobridge. This is not the easiest thing to do, it is just a couple of moving pieces going on at the same time. And I am going to put one of the black washers on top of the adapter here. Just kind of make sure that is kind of lined up. And then I am going to take the screw that it comes with and the silver washer, make sure the silver washer is on the screw. And then we are just going to slide it on in to the panobridge.

As we do that we just want to make sure that we obviously capture that first washer that we had. And then before we push it all the way through we are going to put the second washer through on the other side. Now once all those are through we are going to take our allen key, appropriate size allen key and go ahead and tighten it down.

So you are going to tighten it down basically to whatever resistance level you want for the articulation of the device. So the tighter I make it the harder it is going to be articulate. I recommend making it pretty tight because we don't want it to bounce around as we are moving about. So I have it on there pretty good so it takes a little bit of effort to get it to articulate. And there we have it on the panobridge. So the bridge next to the thermal like I said this guy also pans.

So we have the panning capability of the panobridge and then we also have the articulation capability. So currently as of the making of this product video if you want a set of night vision that can pan and articulate buying two RVM-14s in this panobridge is your option right now. So as we have it here with the thermal kind of have it mounted up just like this and then I can pan it if I want to.

A thermal that I wanted to pan you can pan it. I don't recommend doing that. The panning is really just good for having two night vision setups. So all of these accessories again are optimized towards the lower profile of the RVM14. And we wanted to make sure that we offered all of those products to you guys because what the RVM-14 does offer you is a lot of flexibility. So you can start your night vision and thermal journey with purchasing just one of these guys later on down the road by the panobridge and then by your thermal. Now you have this set up going on right here.

And then later on from there you can buy another RVM-14. And now you have a lot of flexibility. You can run just a single night vision device. You can have two of them at the same time or you can do a setup quite like this. And again it's just a good way to have a lot of capability and a lot of flexible capability.

That about covers all the information about the accessories for the RVM-14 that we're selling. So we have the ABMAX14 from NoiseFighters. And then we also have the adapter for the RVM-14 going to the panobridge.
