On the other side, you have the purge screw. On one side you have the J-Arm threaded hole and anti-rotation pocket. It is a standard constant-on clicky battery cap. For the sake of simplicity, the Tanto uses the same battery cap as the Katana. The Tanto is almost like a standalone Katana monocular pod with an integrated power supply. It is not your standard desktop home FDM 3D prints. Just like the Katana, the Tanto is 3D printed by the same Multi Jet Fusion technology. Well, Jeffrey of Nocturn has been keeping his monocular design under wraps until now. It offers night vision enthusiasts an affordable articulating housing with integrated pupillary distance stops while being lighter weight than most fixed bino housings. The UANVB, also known as the Katana, has been a commercial success. If you recall, Nocturn Industries came out with their dual-tube bino housing.

The articulating design also enables users to operate vehicles without limiting head space by eliminating the need to stow the unit upright or to tuck the pods against the helmet when stowed. When assembled to the TAB “Daisho” bridge extra features are enabled such as articulation to the side for single or dual eye use. Push button on/off in the cap to reduce weight and reduce the footprint of the monocular. It is simple with a minimalist lightweight design. *The Tanto Articulating Bridge will be released at a later date. The bridge enables the use of a single battery for both tubes, has built in IP stops similar to the UANVB “Katana”, and other features when released. To transform into the binocular, simply remove the battery cap and battery, insert the bridge into the battery compartment, and tighten the rear clamp screws on the bridge, done. The innovative design allows users to transform their monoculars into an articulating binocular in seconds or go from a binocular back to a monocular to share with a partner. A unique feature of this monocular is its ability to be adapted to a proprietary powered articulating dual bridge mount called the TAB (Tanto Articulating Bridge) “Daisho” with minimal tools or extra parts.
