HBO Lightweight Dovetail NVG Mount – Specifications

Overview

The HBO Lightweight Dovetail NVG Mount is a low-profile, weight-optimized helmet mount designed for secure and reliable integration of night vision devices. Engineered to reduce front-end load on headborne systems, the mount improves balance and user comfort during extended operations without sacrificing durability or stability.

Optimized for single-handed operation, the mount allows quick deployment, stowage, and adjustment in dynamic environments. An integrated safety breakaway mechanism is designed to automatically release from the helmet interface if excessive force or G-load is encountered—helping reduce the risk of entanglement and neck injury during movement, airborne operations, or impact events.

This design reflects a philosophy centered on user safety, agility, and repeatable performance in real-world use.
