Well there isn't much out there in regards to helmet mounting a Pulsar HD19A so I figured I'd make a formal thread. The first and only example i've seen was made by member bleas who fabricated a custom bracket to mount the unit perfectly horizontal to a Norotos milspec NVG mount.
Here's member bleas custom bracket design:
Initially I intended on also making a custom bracket however for left-eye viewing. I like the left eye so if I need to pull the shotgun my right eye isn't completely washed out. I suppose you could use Sledge's rig and swing the J-arm to the left side, bleas if you could report back on how that works out that would be great.
For my first weekend trying the helmet rig out I just used the factory tripod mount on the picatinny rail side of the HD19A, and it keeps the unit at a slight 45 which actually turned out to be satisfactory for scanning. At this point i'm going to keep using it the way it is, I don't feel the need for the bracket yet as nice as it would be for it to be horizontal. Very pleased overall, awesome to not have to hold the unit to your eye and scan with thermal at night.
Here's mine & how you can mount it without a custom bracket:
I also quickly discovered the need for a counterweight on the helmet. Until I get a legitimate one, i've used my shotgun shell softcase with velcro on the back attached to the helmet. Works great and is perfectly balanced.
Anyone else who has come up with helmet mounts for this unit please share.
