U.N.V.M "Talon" | Nocturn Industries

The lightest mil-spec option?
The Talon strips night vision back to what matters. Its housing weighs just 53 g, half the weight of a standard PVS-14, and the complete monocular comes in at 274 g with standard optics, or 217 g with RPO lenses. It’s light enough to wear all night and small enough to carry anywhere.

Everything runs from a single knob. Press and hold to switch on, turn to adjust gain, double-tap for the IR illuminator (an indicator in the eyepiece confirms it’s on), and single-tap to turn the IR off. There’s nothing else to learn, which makes the Talon an ideal first device as well as a dependable go-to.

It runs on a CR123A for 40+ hours, with AA and CR2 caps on an onboard lanyard so you can use whatever batteries you have. It fits standard PVS-14 J-arms, so your existing mounts carry straight over. And if you move up to a binocular later, the Talon’s tube pod is cross-compatible with the Nocturn Raptor.

Who it’s for

• First-time buyers: the simplest, lightest way into proper night vision.
• Upgrading from a PVS-14: keep your J-arm, lose half the housing weight.
• Travelling light: small enough for a jacket pocket 
• Planning ahead: start with a monocular and share its pod with a Raptor binocular later.
