LAB-NVS® – Ultra-Light Articulated Night Vision Binoculars
The LAB-NVS® (Light Articulated Binocular – Night Vision System) is an articulated night vision binocular system designed to offer the best compromise between lightness, robustness, modularity and operational performance.
Compatible with 18mm intensifier tubes (MX-10160, MX-11769, NNVT, NVT, Photonis or Gen3), 16mm and FAT ANVIS as well as with standard PVS-14 and ANVIS optics.
The LAB-NVS® allows the construction of high-performance night vision binoculars suitable for both professional users and enthusiasts of night vision, night observation, airsoft or sport shooting.
Thanks to its innovative architecture, the LAB-NVS® is among the lightest articulated binocular systems on the market, with a housing weighing less than 90 grams and a complete configuration that can go below 400 grams depending on the components selected.
A concept designed for the user
Every detail of the LAB-NVS® has been developed according to a simple philosophy: maximize efficiency in the field while reducing weight, fatigue and complexity.
Independent articulated architecture
Les deux monoculaires peuvent être relevés indépendamment afin de :
- Use one eye only under night vision.
- Maintain a natural view on one side.
- Réduire l'encombrement.
- To limit neck fatigue during travel or in a vehicle.
Each pod (auto shut-off) benefits from an automatic shut-off system when lifted, protecting the tubes and preserving battery life.
Tool-free IPD adjustment
The interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment is made directly on the bridge, without any tools.
This design allows for instant adaptation to each user while maintaining precise alignment of the optics.
Simplified ordering
LAB-NVS® prioritizes efficiency:
- A single button.
- Immediate implementation.
- Intuitive to use even with gloves.
- Minimal learning curve.
Ultra-lightweight without compromising on robustness
Unlike many traditional binocular systems, the LAB-NVS® was designed around an optimized architecture that drastically reduces the onboard mass.
Typical mass
- Housing only: less than 90 g
- Lightweight configuration: starting from 385 g
- Full MIL-SPEC configuration: less than 500 g
These values place the LAB-NVS® among the lightest articulated systems available today.
Despite this focus on lightness, the system retains excellent mechanical rigidity thanks to the combination of:
- High performance polyamide PA11
- Aluminum
- Marine grade stainless steel
The enclosure meets the IP68 rating and exceeds the requirements of the MIL-STD-810 drop tests.
Compatible with market standards
The LAB-NVS® was developed to offer maximum freedom of configuration.
Tube compatibility
Compatible with:
- NNVT NVT4 / Class C
- NNVT NVT5 / Class B
- NNVT NVT6 / Class B
- NNVT NVT7 / Class A/A+/S
- NNVT7+ / Class S+
- Photonis Echo
- Photonis High Gain (subject to power supply conditions)
- Photonis 16 mm (subject to power supply)
- Elbit (subject to power supply)
- Tubes Gen3 MX-10160
- Tubes Gen3 MX-11769 (version gain fixe)
Optical compatibility
Compatible with optical assemblies:
- PVS-14 standard
- RPO
- Photonis Defense Boomslang
- Noctis Carson
This approach ensures excellent availability of spare parts and accessories while facilitating future system upgrades.
An ideal solution for airsoft, night observation, and professional applications.
The LAB-NVS® is aimed at users looking for:
- A true binocular vision.
- Improved perception of terrain and distances.
- A comfortable system for long sessions.
- A scalable and easily maintainable platform.
- Minimal bulk.
Whether for night airsoft, wildlife observation, security, rescue or professional uses, the LAB-NVS® offers a high-performance and durable solution based on the most widespread industry standards.

A simplified ergonomics
The LAB-NVS was design with efficiency in mind. No complicated input required, just put your finger between your eyebrows and you'll easily fond the on/off click button. K.I.S.S.
Inter-pupillar Distance (IPD)
The system integrates a toolless IPD setting at the back, which can be ajusted on the fly to meet any user IP.
The IP range exceed most systems, from 49mm to 78mm.
Auto Shutoff
The monocular are independently shut-off when swung up. This prevents light backsplash on the helmet and save battery.
Sling Attachement
An hard point is located below the dovetail to anchor paracord or shockcord.
Lightweight
The LAB-NVS is the lightest articulated night vision binocular to date.
