The most versatile, panoramic system

Polymer pre-order sold out, this listing is quoted for the Magnesium variant now

Four tubes and a 100° field of view give you a picture no binocular can match: you see what’s around you, not just what’s ahead. The trouble with most panoramics is living with them, because they’re heavy, front-loaded and awkward when stowed. The Chimera, the first articulating quad-tube system, was designed to fix that.

Its patented pods fold back towards the helmet, so when stowed it sits with a profile close to a standard binocular. The weight is carried nearer your neck’s natural pivot point, which makes a real difference to comfort over a long night. Each side flips up on its own, so you can clear one eye, get through a doorway or into a vehicle, and drop back into full panoramic view in a second.

Chimers come standard with RPO 4.0 NVD-N lenses. They’re around 30% lighter than standard mil-spec optics, with better light transmission, sharp centre resolution and a generous eye box. The bridge is 7075-T6 aluminium, and the pods are fibre-reinforced polymer.

Every Chimera is built to order by us in the UK: four Photonis tubes, assembled, collimated, nitrogen purged and tested.
