PNP-MC Miniature, Lightweight, Ruggedised Night Vision Device with interchangeable 'C' Mount Objective Lenses

NATO Stock Number: 5855-99-855-1401

The PNP-MC is an image intensifier mini monocular night scope incorporating the latest technologies in a compact robust moulded glass filled polymer lightweight body with interchangeable 'C' mount objective lenses.

With the PNP-MC's interchangeable lens feature, standard photographic equipment can be quickly turned into a powerful, effective night-time device, dramatically enhancing your intelligence gathering and observation capability.

Utilising the PNP-MC's Optical Modules (see images at right) instead of using the camera's lens as a relay lens, allows the operator to seamlessly & effortlessly mount the PNP-MC on Nikon & Canon EOS dSLR bodies without having to pre-focus the cameras lens & without having to adjust the zoom lens. On cameras with nominal 24mm x 16mm or 36 x 24mm APSC or FF chips, dependant upon camera body, vignetting of the image may be eliminated.

PNP-MC is a powerful, multi-purpose pocket-sized monocular night scope. The pocket scope is designed to be used either as a stand-alone night vision device or in combination with a wide variety of camcorders, still & digital photography, CCTV equipment and spotting scopes.

It is ideally suited for covert night-time observation and intelligence-gathering purposes using standard photographic media, as well as an effective aid to night-time field missions.

PNP-MC employs a choice of image intensifier tubes characterized by high resolution and a clear, bright image including autogated types.

It is equipped with its own IR LED - type illuminator, which provides additional, close-range covert illumination, when ambient light is insufficient - especially effective inside buildings etc. A red LED in the eyepiece illuminates when the IR illuminator is on as does a yellow LED when a low battery state occurs.

A unique feature is the standard “C” mount for the objective lens, enabling standard CCTV camera lenses to be used. Special purpose adaptors enable the PNP to be mounted onto a wide variety of 35mm SLR and video cameras (including CCTV cameras).

In addition a further range of adaptors allow SLR camera lenses to be used on the PNP-MC in place of CCTV lenses.
