What Is It?
The CO-mini is a clip on night vision sight that fits in front of an existing rifle optic to add I2 capability on the fly. It uses a quick detatch picatinny mount and comes with a wireless remote. Because the clip on sight is in front of the daytime optic, there is no change of zero or impact point.
Who Uses It?
The CO-mini is intended primarily for use by the most demanding hunter or short range assaulter, where field of view and ease of use is more important than high magnification. When you need to be aware of your surroundings, and able to react quickly, the CO-mini is a great option.
What Is It Designed For?
The CO-mini has a wide field of view, appropriate for 2-6x magnified optics. You will often see these mounted with ACOGs or similar low magnification sights. Because you're not changing your zero it is also a solid choice for multi-day trips where transitioning from night to day systems can happen regularily.
What Is It Capable Of?
The QD mount allows for fast transition between day and night optics, but scope adapter kits allow the mini to be attached directly onto a scope or even onto a camera or set of binoculars. Instead of buying a dedicated NV optic, you can add i2 capability to existing systems. This makes the clip on unit a versatile addition to any surviellance set.
CO-Mini
Clip-On Night Vision Device
Designed for short-to-medium ranges, the Armasight CO-MINI is the most compact commercially available Clip-On Night Vision Device. The CO-MINI uses image intensification technology and is designed to convert most low-to-mid power daytime sights, scopes, or binoculars to operate at night. The CO-MINI can be mounted in seconds and without tools. It can be attached in front of a day rifle scope (using its quick release Picatinny mount) or directly onto the day scope (or binocular/ telescope) objective lens with the included adaptor.
Suitable for use with most commercial and military specification day time sights, telescopes or binoculars (up to 6X magnification). Because the CO-MINI is mounted in front of your own day scope, the shooters eye relief is not altered, and shot release and follow through all remain intuitive.
The clip-on device is factory bore-sighted to better than 1MOA accuracy, so no alteration in zero is experienced, and it really is as simple as mount and shoot, just as in day time.
The Armasight CO-MINI is intended primarily for use by the most demanding hunter or short range assaulter, where field of view and ease of use is more important than high magnification. Packed with innovative and important features - variable gain control, bright light shut-off, wireless remote control are just a few - the Armasight CO-MINI is designed to make quick intuitive shooting just as easy at night as it is during the day.
Whether your day scope is a well known brand or not, the Armasight CO-MINI will work just as well at magnifications 2-6X. Available in a variety of high performing Gen 2+ and Gen 3 image tube options to cater for all budgets, the CO-MINI brings high quality clip-on night vision within everyone's reach.
