The Night Vision Devices BNVD-SG UL has a "Tactical Monocular Cutoff" that turns off power to each channel of the monocular whenever a channel is rotated up out of the user's line of sight. This eliminates stray light flashing the user's helmet, which could reveal the user to anyone else in the area.
The BNVD-SG UL is available with an optional battery pack, which holds 3 "AA" Alkaline batteries for runtimes exceeding 50 hours. Like all other NVD products, the BNVD-SG UL also features the company's 10-year warranty.
