if you're looking to purchase an mh25 thermal monocular like the one i have here on my mod
armory bridge you're more than likely going to run it in this setup like i have on this bridge many
people want them to be run as helmet mounted units because they are so versatile and so capable in a
helmet-mounted form what you're going to notice if you purchase a painter bridge or one of the
mod armory ridges like this as soon as you mount it next to a pvs14 you will immediately see that
there's a massive difference in the height between the objective lens for the mh25 versus the pvs14
and you might be asking yourself how do you fix that well there is a very simple
solution and we offer it right on our website and it is an option when you purchase the mh25
and it's something that i highly recommend you guys consider that is the modified pvs14 eyepiece
from ira i'm going to slide this out of the box do a little bit of an unboxing here for you guys
inside of this little bubble wrap we're going to find the pvs14 eyepiece and i know on the
surface it might look daunting and you might think to yourself well i don't want to take
apart my thermal unit it's a 4 000 thermal it is a very daunting thing to think about but the
cool thing is it's super easy doesn't require any tools and it takes you about 30 seconds
so what i'm going to do is pop this off of my mod armory mount just set the pvs 14 over there
this little rubber eyepiece does just pop off if you don't run it you can get rid of it now because
we're changing out our eyepiece it really doesn't matter you can leave it on the factory eyepiece
or just throw it off to the side it's completely up to you so this black metal ring that goes
around the outside here i'm just going to turn it now this one's very easy some of the mh25s that
i've taken apart and installed eyepieces for customers have been very difficult in the past
and i've had to really get some tension on them really get some torque on them to get them off
that's when it's a little bit nerve-racking because it's an expensive unit so with the
eyepiece off we're just going to set that off to the side at this point we just want to be very
careful that we don't touch the screen in there as you can see that is the little lcd screen that
you're looking at when you're looking through the eyepiece hopefully you guys can see that
at this point what we'll do is we'll take the eyepiece and we're going to adjust that
diopter all the way out now it's going to be very difficult for you to tell but when this
is cranked in like they have it when they ship this unit this little interior surface is pushed
all the way in and you're not going to be able to tighten it down properly on the mh-25 so you
want to back that diopter all the way out and then take your piece here your eyepiece and the mh-25
carefully put them together making sure that we don't have any dirt hair anything getting
onto the interior screen we're just going to lightly screw that in i don't over torque them
this is very little pressure don't crank on this you don't need to but if you have the diopter
all the way out when you install you'll be able to get the full range of motion of that diopter
and what that does is allows you to adjust to correct for your eyes so if you have 20 20 vision
really you could have it set around zero you're going to be good if you don't have 20 20 vision
you have corrective lenses things like that you can adjust that diopter just like you would for
a pvs14 or a binocular night vision device the big benefit of this being on your mh25
as we're going to see right here now both of your units are very close to being aligned
they're still not perfect but they are close enough when you run it with the factory eyepiece
and you try to run it as a binocular like i have with a bridge 14 it's very strange because the 14
is going to be right at the right place for your eye but the mh25 because it has such a small lens
it's very hard to see through the unit until you put the pvs
eyepiece on and the benefit of that is you're getting better eye box relief a little bit more
adjustability of the unit a better picture of the lcd screen inside of the unit and you're getting
better functionality because now it's going to match your pvs14 so for folks that are looking to
bridge their mh25 with a pvs14 i highly recommend getting the pvs14 eyepiece it is rather expensive
but in my opinion it's worth it because of the functionality that you get out of the unit and
i would go as far as to say even for folks just looking to run just the mh25 on a helmet i would
still consider purchasing the mh25 pbs14 eyepiece adapter and guys you can find the mh25 you can
find the pvs 14 eyepiece the mod armory bridge pbs14s binders and a ton of other night vision
