MARBOCk told me that three years of work have paid off. Tarsier Eclipse is NAVAIR approved and will be added to the NATOPS!
For those of you unfamiliar with Tarsier Eclipse, it’s an add-on, easily adjustable iris for the objective lens of night vision devices which facilitates quick focus. With a twist of the adjuster, the iris opens and closes (as you can see above) in order to fine tune the focus for up close work. It also works as a sacrificial lens in order to prevent lens damage.

Got one on my PVS-14, aside from being a little bulky, they really do work well. Close- and long-range clarity are degraded a bit over simply adjusting the objective lens focus… but you basically get about 85-90% close- and long-range clarity simultaneously rather than having to choose 100% clarity at a fixed distance ONLY.
