Almost a year ago to the day, we discussed Phokus Research Group, a small company dedicated to ethically helping military entrepreneurs market turn their good ideas into reality. Embodying the concept of “By the Operator, For the Operator”, one of the products they have worked on is called the Phokus Aid. The issue is that you have to constantly readjust the focus of your NODs when transitioning from observing or driving with the focus on infinity to close up work. Many troops have developed field expedient solutions utilizing the lens cap but really they don’t work well.
The Phokus Aid on the other hand is a purpose built solution to this problem. It allows the user to maintain infinity focus with the NODs, while providing clarity at critical distances of 10 feet and closer without requiring re-focus. You just flip the Phokus Aid up or down in order to use.
