Description

More Capability, Same Simplicity

The Raptor is for users who want a bit more from their binocular. It adds manual gain and an onboard IR illuminator to Nocturn’s lightweight carbon-fibre platform, and runs it all from a single knob laid out like the L3Harris PVS-31A.

That control layout is the Raptor’s real strength. Turn the knob to brighten or dim the image as conditions change, then double-tap for IR when it’s truly dark; an indicator in the eyepiece confirms it’s on. While IR is on, the same knob sets its brightness. One control to learn, and it handles almost every situation.

It’s also built to grow with you. The optic pods are modular and can be converted to Nocturn’s Talon monocular platform, so a Raptor and a Talon can share parts as your kit grows. Pods switch off when flipped up to save battery, and there’s a LEMO port for an external pack on longer nights.

Who it’s for

  • Moving up from the Katana: keep the light carbon-fibre build and gain IR and gain control.
  • Mixed-light users: from dark woodland to the edge of town, adjust the image to match.
  • Those already trained on PVS-31A controls: it feels familiar from the first switch-on.
  • Previous Talon owners: start with the binocular and share pods with a monocular later.
