Anyone who’s worn a night vision device can tell you that it is a pain to have to refocus your lens when transitioning fro looking at a an object in the distance to something closeup such as a weapon or map. The Re-Focus Ring (RFR) from O’gara is now available exclusively from Tactical Night Vision Company.
Designed as a monocle that flips up and down to instantly transition from infinity to an instant close focus of 18â€. Standard baseline focus of NODs is about 15’ out. Anything closer starts to get progressively more blurry. Traditionally, the operator needed to manually refocus the objective and diopter or replace the objective lens cap on the goggle to get a close focus which usually requires two hands and lots of fumbling in the dark. The RFR requires a half second to flip up or down, allowing the operator to refocus on the fly.
The RFR has been in service with special operations units for years and now it’s available to you from www.tnvc.com

That’s one thing I like about my 15s. Almost everything I do is dismounted. I focus one eye at infinity and one about three feet in front of me. My eyes don’t even notice the difference anymore and I can see the dips and ditches coming up and not fall on my face. It looks like a good product though.
Hey Jimbo, thank you for the comments brother. Indeed a good trick to use on your 15’s. We hope the revised RFR will go a long way in assisting the single tube masses.
We worked closely with STS (Ogara) in beefing up the ring portion so the new production RFR is now pretty darn strong even in cold weather. Thanks again.

Where were these when I was in Iraq! Pain to refocus my 14’s going back and forth.
Re-Focus Ring.. nice product, I find it very helpful
We had a similar product in SF that worked the same way. This is an indispensable tool for PVS 14 users who transition often from long distance observation to weapon mount and back to CQB distance viewing. Hard to believe you can run a PVS 14 without one of these. Great looking product!
Great post, solar is really going to take over in the coming years, and it can’t come a day too soon!
