The Sirius monoculars are a lightweight alternative for anyone looking to add night vision to their tool-kit. It packs the most features into the lowest cost unit, giving you comparable ability with much more expensive systems.
Anyone who wants to get good night vision but not break the bank. Hunters, security officers, or law enforcement often choose a sirius because it meets their needs. Options like manual brightness control, an automatic shut-off for bright light exposure, and a built in IR flood-light illuminator are normally only found in units above the $2,000 mark.
The Sirius is built around a heavy duty chassis, but only available in a few common imaging tube configurations. These tubes are available in higher volumes, which keeps the price of the monocular as low as possible. It's designed as the kind of night vision device an individual can buy and custom tailor to their individual purpose.
The Sirius can be helmet mounted, head mounted, or rifle mounted using a number of different adapters. Add in the ability for a camera mount, and its no surprise that this is a popular unit with security professionals and hunters just getting into night vision. The Sirius is particularly well suited the Armasight AIM system, which makes the unit into a self contained night vision sight occupying minimal rail space. Add in afocal lenses, or 5x or 8x magnification, and the Sirius monocular can be converted to cover any night vision need.
The Armasight Sirius is a high-tech, tough and durable multi-use monocular that delivers great Gen 2+ performance, but at the lowest possible cost. Packed with features, the Sirius is a unit that is equally at home with the hunter as it is with the professional security officer or law enforcement professional. Mission configurable, the Armasight Sirius can be hand-held, head/ helmet mounted; it can be mounted onto a rifle with a variety of different mounts, or it can be mounted in front of a camcorder or camera for night photography. Optional 3, 5 or 8X lenses can turn it into a long range night viewing device in seconds.
Incredibly for such a low cost unit, the Sirius features manual brightness control, bright light shut-off circuitry and a spot/flood built-in IR illuminator. The Armasight Sirius is a night vision work-horse that will satisfy the requirements of the most demanding professional or casual night vision user with room to spare.
