UNV
UNV makes mounting gear for night vision, and from UNV we carry the UNV Ultimate Helmet Mount. A helmet mount holds a night vision device in front of your eye so you can see in the dark with both hands free.
Why hunters use a helmet mount
Walking in to a stand at night means carrying a rifle, shooting sticks, a caller and a pack, often over fences and through timber. With your night vision on a helmet mount instead of in your hand, you can watch your footing, spot animals along the way and keep your hands on your gear. It's just as handy when you're tracking a hog after the shot or setting up a caller in the dark.
Before you buy
A helmet mount has to match two things: the helmet or head mount you wear, and the night vision device you plan to hang from it. Check the product page for which interface it uses and which devices it accepts, or call (309) 781-8421 with your night vision model and we'll confirm the fit before you order.
A device hanging from your head adds weight up front, so plan on a counterweight or a well-fitted helmet for long sits. UNV products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and we help you reach them if you need to.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you mount night vision to a helmet with a UNV mount?
Start with a helmet or head mount that has a front attachment point, clip the UNV mount into it, then attach your night vision device to the mount. The fit depends on two interfaces, so check which ones the product page lists, or call (309) 781-8421 with your night vision model and we'll confirm it before you order.
Is owning night vision illegal?
No, owning night vision is legal in the US. What varies is hunting with it: several states allow it for coyotes, hogs and other predators and prohibit it for deer. Night vision and some thermal products also have export restrictions, which is why nothing we sell ships outside the USA.
Why are UNV night vision mounts so expensive?
You're paying for a mount that holds a device steady in front of your eye while you climb fences and walk timber. That means strong materials, tight fitting parts and adjustments that stay where you set them. The UNV Ultimate also adjusts each optic on its own and returns to the same setting with indexing marks.
Does it matter if I use Gen 2 or Gen 3 night vision on a helmet?
Either works on a helmet mount; the difference is in the image. Gen 3 is more sensitive on dark, moonless nights and tends to last longer, while Gen 2 is lighter on the wallet and fine with some moonlight. What matters for the mount is the device's weight and attachment interface, so plan a counterweight for heavier units.
