The 3rd Generation Mini-14 is the most recent NVG goggle to be adopted by US Military. Developed as an alternative to the PVS-14,
the Mini-14 was designed to be submersible, lighter, more versatile, and easier to use in situations where its
predecessors were inadequate. The ultra-light milspec body is waterproof to 66 feet deep(20m), to handle the most adverse conditions.
The compact size allows the Mini-14 to rest closer to your eye than other goggles. Combined with its short length, it provides
an incredible 40 degree FOV. And, the precision ground milspec glass provides crisp, clear distortion-free images from edge to edge.
Many agree that as a goggle, the Mini-14 provides more natural viewing-in-motion than any other night vision device.
A leap above the Mini-14 monocular goggle, the Mini-14B binocular goggle provides comfortable dual-eye viewing through
two Mini-14 monoculars, mated using the Night Optics Mini-14 Bino Rack. The Bino Rack provides perfect alignment with
interpupillary adjustment, and a PVS7-style headset/helmet mount. The dual-tube dual-eye design provides true stereoscopic
vision and preserves depth perception for incredible images, and more natural dual-eye viewing.
Optional 3x or 5x milspec lenses can be purchased to quickly transform the Mini-14B into magnificent binoculars.
Also, the Mini-14 monoculars can be easily seperated for use as handheld night vision monoculars. Or, they can be installed in single-carriage
headmounts (included) for monocular-goggle use. The included quick-release weapon mounts also allow the user to transform either monocular
into a night vision rifle sight.
Each Mini-14 monocular uses either a single AA or 3.5 volt lithium battery,
offering more flexibility and longer battery life. And, each has an integrated IR illuminator
to aid in map reading and operation in confined spaces, and to provide additional distance and
clarity in extra-dark environments.
The Mini-14B ships with (2) Mini-14 monoculars, and (1) Night Optics USA Mini-14 Bino Rack.
Included with each monocular is a quick-release headset & helmet mount, milspec headgear, extra brow pads,
a demist shield, a sacrificial window, 1 3v CR123 battery & 1 AA battery, lens tissue, an instruction manual,
and a warranty card. The Night Optics Mini-14B is covered by a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
B-Grade Night Optics MINI-14B: The Mini-14B-B night vision goggles are
built around two 3rd gen image tubes with B-grade blemish ratings (low occurrence) and 51 l/mm minimum resolution
(57 l/mm typical). These tubes will have a slightly higher blemish frequency/intensity than the Standard
and A-grade tubes. Any blemishes will appear as black specs, with a frequency and intensity
deemed not to detract from normal viewing.
Std Grade Night Optics MINI-14B: The Mini-14B-ST night vision goggles
are built around two image tubes with A to B intermediate blemish ratings and 51 l/mm minimum resolution
(64 l/mm typical). These image tubes will have a slightly higher occurrence of blemishes than the A-grade tubes.
A-Grade Night Optics MINI-14B: The Mini-14B-A night vision goggles employ two image tubes with
A-grade blemish ratings and 64 l/mm minimum resolution. These image tubes will have a minimal occurrence of blemishes.
