Adams Industries shared their booth with the guys from Norotos, makers of night vision mounting systems. Based in Southern California, I enjoying seeing them each year at Warrior West. They’re both great companies with great products. You’ve probably seen one of Norotos’ shrouds such as the Universal Shroud. Last year, they won part of the Army helmet mount contract with the RHNO II seen here. Yes, it is being delivered in this Grey metal color.
The single most important thing about this mount is that the patented “Glide-right” mechanism is infinitely adjustable within the limits of its range in both the vertical and horizontal planes. No more notches. You can get the device exactly where you want it.
Above you can see the Dovetail Mounting System in a Universal Shroud. It is available in both Horn (J arm) and Dovetail versions.

Dozens of aftermarket swing arms on the market, yet no real good replacement for that friggin J-Arm.
Dual Dovetail adapter…it’s what I use.

Agree totally, it’s what I use. However, I see a lot of sexy swing-arm replacements but a more effective 1-piece upgrade would be a new j-arm.
My unit went and bought a whole bunch of AKA2s and universal shrouds and with the issue j-arm sucked the same as the USGI rhino mount.
Wilcox lg24 is a better product
Ok, lest I delete your comment, I’ll give you a chance to tell us why.
Its is the same old design as the original with minor improvements , the main issue remains when the arm is flipped up with dual nods on it sits too high and presnts issues when exiting vehicles or aircraft, stability is also poor with nods up.
The lg24 sits much closer to the helmet when flipped up giving greater stability and a lower profile .
We use the first one pictured. Its bullet proof. Sure there are better out there, but those sure beat the regular black ones that constantly break.
First off, I can say after 20 years in my perspective community that I have yet to use any night vision mount, battery pack, or goggle that meets or exceeds Adams Industries standards for quality and durability. I say because of first hand experience in theater with his equipment. I am not saying that Wilcox or Norotos is not good quality. They most certainly are, but that being said they are NOT Adams Industries. This is just my opinion so please take it for what it is worth. Having run everything from the PVS 4 & 5s, 7B &Ds, ANVIS 6s, 14s, 15s, 21s, 23s, and then finally the Sentinel. The Sentinel and Adams mounts are the cream of the crop. Thanks for taking a read I hope this helps.
