While Norotos is constantly working on new products, I got to check out two new items that I think you’re really going to like.
First up is the Low-Sto which is the lightest, most compact mount on market. While it wasn’t appreciably lighter than its predecessor, its small stature means that your NODs will sit closer to your head when in the up, or stowed position. In addition to its compact size, It also features their new adjustable breakaway which can be set via the screw head seen in the upper left of the mount in the photo. Set at 10 lbs from the factory, it is adjustable from 5-30 lbs of force.
Even cooler is this next item, one of those, “Why didn’t I think of that?” products. The Universal Shroud Light is available in Black, Tan or Coyote. Just like the name implies, it integrates six angled LEDs into the housing which work in two banks (two and four LEDs). On the model I looked at the bottom two were Blue and the upper four were White light but they can configure them how ever you need. The beauty here is that the light source goes wear you are looking so you don’t have to constantly adjust a beam or crane your neck like on a side mounted light.
Looking at the shroud, the top right recessed button activates the light function such as bottom two or top four. The left button controls intensity from 4% up to 100%. It is powered by a single AA battery which stows in the integrated compartment below the shroud. The shroud incorporates a smart battery sensor which blinks twice once the battery reaches 50% of used capacity and steps the intensity of the beam down. It does this until the battery is exhausted. With a AA battery on low setting it will run over 40 hours.

That is really cool. That would be very useful for after a raid and you are doing some site exploitation. It would save a lot of space on your helmet rails as well.
Integrates the power sources for my ANVIS goggles and those little lights, and we’ll have something. 1 battery 2 devices.
True. Still though, wicked smaht.
With red/white lights, I can see this being pretty money.
Blue works way better with goggles than red.
Blue LED’s also let you tell if a liquid is blood or not. You can’t tell the different between blood or water with a red LED light. Red lights can also have some problems with map reading compared to the blue unless they are “red light readable” printed military maps.
