About this product
Night vision gear is expensive, and changing the mount is the cheap way to move one tube between helmets — provided the interfaces match. This NVG mount arm is a lightweight push-button release unit with a dovetail shoe, listed for the PVS-14, PVS-31 and GPNVG-18. Three checks decide whether it suits your rig. First the helmet side: your shroud has to present the matching dovetail interface, because a bayonet (horn) shroud will not accept a dovetail arm without an adapter. Second the device side: PVS-14 housings usually leave the factory on a bayonet J-arm, while the PVS-31 and GPNVG-18 use a dovetail shoe, so confirm what your device actually presents. Third the release and the offset: a push-button release makes removal fast, but you still need enough stand-off for correct eye relief. The listing states neither arm length nor weight, so ask the seller if you run a heavy tube or a bump helmet. With 142 sold and a 96.7% positive rating this is a niche part, so measure your current setup before ordering.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Lightweight dovetail mount arm with push-button release, listed for PVS-14, PVS-31 and GPNVG-18
- Lets you move one night vision tube between helmets instead of buying a second complete setup

Cons
- The listing does not state arm length or weight — ask the seller before fitting a heavy tube
- Your helmet shroud must offer the matching dovetail interface; bayonet (horn) shrouds need an adapter
- A PVS-14 normally ships on a bayonet J-arm, so confirm what interface your device presents before relying on dovetail
- A niche part: measure your current offset and eye relief instead of assuming it will drop straight in
