RVM-14 Housing
Description
The AB Night Vision RVM-14 is a compact, all-metal monocular housing. It’s machined from solid 7075-T6 aluminium, waterproof to 20 m and MIL-STD-810H drop tested, so it’s built to last a lifetime of hard use. A complete build still weighs around 15% less than a standard polymer PVS-14.
Why it matters
The RVM-14 gives you the durability of a metal housing without the bulk. One rotary knob handles power and gain. The IR illuminator has its own button, guarded by a raised fence so it can’t switch on by accident in a pocket or pouch. A single CR123A runs it for over 70 hours, so you’ll rarely need to change batteries.
