Panoramic night vision opens up your view in a way a binocular can’t. With a 100° field of view, you see what’s beside you as well as in front, without constantly turning your head. The usual trade-off is size and weight. The Chimera is Nocturn’s answer to that: the first articulating four-tube system, designed to stay compact and comfortable on the helmet.

Its patented design lets the optic pods fold back towards the helmet, so when stowed it sits with a profile closer to a standard binocular than a typical panoramic. That also brings the weight back towards your neck’s natural pivot point, making it better balanced and easier to wear over a long night.

Each pod side can be flipped up on its own without folding the whole system away. That gives you more headroom in vehicles, an easier time through doorways and dense cover, and quick access to night vision the moment you need it.

Who it’s for

• Users who want the widest possible view without a heavy, front-loaded panoramic
• Professional and specialist users who spend long periods under night vision
• Experienced binocular users ready for the next step in situational awareness
