The pictures are all in the post above. There are no mounting holes that I would use on the Hogster. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE THE BASE OFF THE HOGSTER. It is epoxied in place and has been aligned by Bering Optics for optimum zero.

I simply made an adapter so I could use the picatinny mount on a Wilcox bridge. The only thing missing on the pictures above is there was no image of other side of the adapter piece. This is simply a 7-slot picatinny rail with a PVS-15 adapter on the end.



I want to reiterate, I do not like or recommend this solution for anyone. It is very forward heavy. Even with a very heavy counter-weight on the back of the helmet. It would be well over 1K without the helmet for the wilcox bridge and lg4 24. If you already have that equipment and just want to try it. It would cost $29 for the shoe, and probably <$10 for the keymod rail. However, on top of all this you would need some type of really heavy counterweight to the setup as well. Here is a picture of the front of the helmet.

I'm following you now, thanks for the pics.

Take at look at the N-Vision Nox. Expected to ship sometime in November.
IF it turns out to be what they say it is it will be very hard to beat.

For the sum of $6.2 - 6.8K depending on the model. I could get a Super Hogster and the new Bering Optics Phenom 640x480 12µm for the price of the NOX.

I agree that it is pricy.
Just another option for whomever might be interested.
The BAE 12 micron core is pretty hard to beat IMO.

wow... if i only had more money!!!

I love the idea of helmet mounted scanning.. but the cost is crazy... even if you skimp on the helmet, hardware to make one stable on a cheap helmet and some DIY fabricating you are still looking at several hundred to 1k. and that is just for me to try it out.. who knows if ill like it!

Im interested in the hardware used...looks like a norotos Rhino 2?? but what about the shroud?? and the fitting to the scope how did you fabricate the fitting into the rhino?

I'm using very similar set up to this and it works well for me.

Disregard my post hear. Heck to get old and I Forgot the answer I got a few months ago.

Aluminum flat stock drilled and tapped.

Resurrecting this one as new units come along frequently in the thermal market and predator hunters are a pretty resourceful bunch.
Has anyone came up with a better way to skin it?

I am using a Phenom 640 helmet mounted on a Hard Head Vets helmet with a Norotos II and a homemade aluminum attachment. Here are some pictures. I have since added a Swiss Arca mount to facilitate removal/attachment as you will see in the last two photos.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

#1 what scanners are being used /preferred
#2 how are users attaching said units to helmets
