New from the Tactical Night Vision Company is the TNV/Sentinel Binocular Night Vision System. Manufactured by Adams Industries, the Sentinel BNVS was designed in direct response to the ground deployment of ANVIS Aviation Goggles and their subsequent breakage due to not being rugged enough for that environment. It’s up-armored when compared to standard ANVIS goggles, constructed with a machined composite housing bolstered by aluminum front and rear plates on the bridge. Unlike the complete lack of waterproofing offered by standard ANVIS goggles, the Sentinel is submersible up to 66 feet.
The Sentinel utilizes worm drive interpupillary adjustment, with none of the creaking and rattling found in aviation goggles and is built using L-3 Infinity OMNI VIII Image Intensifier Tubes, Gen3 tubes which offer unparalleled clarity, resolution, low light performance, and durability. The Sentinel also features a user-swappable mount interface, and can be field-adapted to either standard dovetail mounts or ANVIS-style ball detent mounts. Depending on the configuration, the Sentinel is powered either by a single CR123 battery or a remote battery pack. The Sentinel is available in a corrosion resistant matte black or FDE finish.

I got to play with these a little at TTPOA. Its a really great configuration and a darn good price.
Keep up the good work TNVC.
Why have they kept the terrible break away system? Surely that should be changed to a wilcox style. The ball bearing break away is my number 1 issue with the aviation ones
That’s the beauty of these, you can now have both mounting options. 🙂
The ” Terrible” break away system is there for a reason, and the preferred mount for America’s Finest. Next time you free fall out of a plane at night with NODS on and your pilot chute or risers catch your NVG’s, maybe you would understand. But chances are you won’t ever do that, so buy whats right for you.
Straight legs and armchair commando’s don’t get it Acid!
LOL, these days I could trade the term straight legs with straight backs.
Considering just how little airborne operations account for these days, what difference does it make?
I’d rather something that’s going to be stronger when I’m actually out on the ground, not calling people “legs” on a website.
Love this!
I am willing to trade resilience for weight when all I have to do is sign for it, when I come out of pocket I want them to be bomb proof!
The single batt or the pack option is a kickass feature as well.
not to mention the price.
Mutlicam going to be a future option?
While these are great, and have very good potential, they are pretty much only for the .gov agencies and etc. A civilian could never afford this unless they are loaded. I am looking forward to the day that NV tech will become affordable for the everyday man.
