Weighing in at just 17.76oz in its standard configuration, the Katana's articulating design allows one or both eyes to be used independently, making it compatible with thermal optics and other non-passive aiming systems. Its injection-molded polymer housing keeps weight to an absolute minimum while meeting and exceeding MIL-STD-810G ruggedness standards and passing NATO 1.5-meter drop testing.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Built entirely by hand in New Hampshire, USA, the Katana is engineered for professionals operating in vehicles, confined spaces, and dynamic environments where stowing a full binocular isn't an option. The friction lock interpupillary adjustment, recessed push-button controls, and individual pod auto-shutoff past 90 degrees of horizontal rotation all reflect a thoughtful, minimalist design philosophy that eliminates snag hazards and keeps operators focused on the mission. Available with a range of image intensifier options from Milspec to L3Harris Aviation-grade tubes, the Katana is fully configurable to your exact operational requirements.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltralight Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weighs as little as 15.12oz (no battery, RPO lenses) - one of the lightest articulating NVB platforms available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulating Binocular:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enables monocular or binocular use alongside thermal optics or other non-passive aiming systems without fully stowing the unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMIL-STD-810G Rated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceeds military ruggedness standards and is drop-tested to the NATO 1.5-meter standard for field-ready durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP68 Ingress Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully sealed against dust and water intrusion for reliable performance in harsh environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriction Lock Interpupillary Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quickly set and reset your IP stop distance with a simple friction lock - included standard on all units at no extra charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual Pod Auto-Shutoff:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each pod powers off automatically when rotated past 90 degrees horizontally, eliminating snag hazards in confined spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard CR123a Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in battery compartment with an optional LEMO Power Port for auxiliary head-worn battery packs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDovetail Mount Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with standard dovetail helmet mounts for easy integration into existing head-worn systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18mm Tube Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts MX-10160 style or MX11769 style tubes (with EGAC pigtail removed) for broad intensifier compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifetime Housing Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nocturn Industries offers lifetime repair of all housing components, no questions asked.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed and hand-built in New Hampshire by Nocturn Industries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eImage Intensifier Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilspec Optics \/ NNVT White Phosphor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Entry-level Milspec configuration using NNVT white phosphor tubes.
