Panobridge M1QD | A dual female QD aluminum bridge with full articulation and adjustable panning

Panobridge™ M1QD is an advanced, incredibly lightweight, all-metal night vision bridge mount that provides our patented (U.S. patent 12,114,723) Adjustable Field of View technology and full compatibility with a variety of thermal monoculars by way of dual quick-detaching female dovetail adapters. At an industry-leading 2.19 oz total, it weighs just a hair more than a single polymer milspec J-Arm, yet its structure is made entirely of high-performance 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and hardened stainless steel for unbeatable rigidity and durability. Crucially, the M1QD includes full interpupillary distance adjustment so that digital screens can be kept level. This bridge is perfect for those that need the flexibility to quickly swap night vision and thermal monoculars for a hybrid setup while also having the on-demand ability to pan outwards with dual night vision monoculars for a wider field of view.

If you do not need adjustable field of view technology but require a bridge with dual quick-detaching female dovetail adapters, then please consider our simpler QD1 bridge.

If you want to bridge two night vision monoculars and do not require quick-detaching capability, then please consider our flagship Panobridge M1 or the non-adjustable FX1 bridge.

The Panobridge M1QD weighs only 2.19 oz total, making it substantially lighter than any competing product. This is approximately 64% less weight than the Wilcox® SKEETIRx Bridge, approximately 35% less weight than the KVC® Universal Bridge, and still 22% less weight than an Integrated Components® D-14 Modular Bridge. We have optimized rigidity, strength, and durability while following the Marine Corps adage of, "Ounces equal pounds, and pounds equal pain."

Even though it is ultralight and rigid, durability is still our top priority, and M1QD is essentially indestructible due to the use of high-performance 7075-T6 aluminum for the entire structure, plus stainless steel for the springs, screws, and latches. We have successfully conducted 2 meter drop tests on concrete with the M1QD, and we will continue to be as transparent as possible by publishing an unfiltered list of components damaged by customers right here. With thousands of our existing metal bridges in use and zero reports of parts breakages, plus the adoption of the our bridges by dozens of law enforcement agencies and multiple U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation tactical teams around the country, we are confident in saying that this product is more than sufficient for duty use anywhere, anytime.

Both monoculars attached to the Noisefighters M1QD may be individually swung upwards, out of the line of sight, without disturbing the adjacent device's positioning. For extended periods when one eye must view scenes unaided by night vision or instead aided by a thermal vision system, this added articulation feature is crucial.

This feature also allows the monoculars to better hug the helmet when the entire assembly is folded back in the stowed position, leading to a more balanced center of gravity and a reduced possibility of impacting door frames or other objects above the head.

A no-questions-asked, transferable lifetime warranty is included. The Noisefighters Panobridge M1QD is proudly made and assembled in the U.S.A. and was designed by a Marine Corps combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Considerations to account for:

1. There is a technical consideration called collimation that may need to be accounted for when using two monoculars. In the simplest terms, images from two bridged monoculars may not be perfectly in tune. For many users, this is not an issue that can be easily perceived, as the brain can usually overcome this misalignment. At worst, the user will experience eye strain after long periods of time using their night vision goggle. If necessary, hire a technician to collimate your paired monoculars, or read online about how to perform a DIY collimation. Done correctly, there is no need to re-purge the monocular.

2. No auto-shutoff system is integrated. Users must manually turn off the monocular when flipping up and stowing equipment on the top of the helmet.

3. This bridge is NOT COMPATIBLE with bayonet-style night vision helmet mounts. You MUST HAVE a dovetail-type night vision helmet mount. The cheapest yet adequate option for a sturdy dovetail-compatible helmet mount is to purchase a military surplus Norotos® RHNO-II (bayonet) mount and modify it to accept the Norotos PVS-15/18 dovetail adapter. Instructions can be found on YouTube here. Our recommendation for a pre-assembled helmet mount with dovetail adapter is the Nocturn Industries ALPHA mount.
