UNV Mounts

This UNV mounts category holds the UNV Ultimate Helmet Mount, a mount for running a night vision or thermal monocular on a helmet so your hands stay free. For hog hunters walking in on a field at night, a helmet setup lets you scan, step and steady the rifle without juggling a monocular.

What to check before you buy

A helmet mount is one link in a chain. Your helmet needs a front shroud or attachment point, the mount attaches there, and your optic connects to the mount through a shoe or adapter made for that device. Before ordering, confirm the interface on your helmet and the one on your monocular, then check if you need an extra shoe or bridge to join them.

A good mount lets you adjust the optic close to your eye, move it out of your line of sight when you don't need it, and stay put on rough ground. Detailed specs for the UNV mount are on its product page, and if anything there doesn't answer your question, call (309) 781-8421.

For more options, including shoes for InfiRay RICO Micro and Mini units and bridges for running two tubes, see our full helmet mounts category. If you still need the optic itself, browse our helmet mountable thermal monoculars.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you mount night vision to a helmet?

It takes three matching links: a helmet with a front shroud or attachment point, a mount that clips into it, and a shoe or adapter made for your device. Confirm the interface on your helmet and on your monocular first, then check if you need an extra shoe or a bridge to join them.

What is the best night vision helmet mount?

The right one holds your optic close to your eye, flips it out of the way when you don't need it, and stays put on rough ground. In this category that's the UNV Ultimate Helmet Mount, which adjusts each optic on its own. For more choices, including bridges and shoes for RICO units, see our full helmet mounts page.

Why are night vision helmet mounts so expensive?

A good mount has to hold a heavy device steady while you walk, flip it up and down thousands of times, and keep tight adjustments from drifting. That takes machined parts, locks and fine-thread controls, and they're made in small numbers. A flimsy mount that wobbles makes the optic hard to use, which is why buyers pay for a solid one.

Is it legal to wear night vision goggles while hunting?

Wearing and owning night vision is legal in the US. Whether you can hunt with it is a state question: many states allow night vision for coyotes, hogs and other predators but not for deer or other game. Check your state's rules, and remember these devices ship only to US addresses.
