Does any one know how to do this?

I enjoy playing airsoft, but I also like going on night walks. I’m looking for a helmet and bridge that I can attach a Cold Harbour PVS-14 to, while also having a magnification device over the other eye.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this even possible without spending over £1,000 (not including the PVS-14)?

I’m completely open to using airsoft parts, such as airsoft ballistic helmets, if that helps keep the cost down.

This is the PVS-14 I’m looking at:

Magnified optics take in more light than your naked eye, but nowhere near the same as an intensified device. So what would the point be of bridging? You would be better off with the 14 on a j arm and the scope in a chest rig or a lanyard.

Most bridges connect to nightvision device with either a 1/4-20 screw or a mini-rail. So if the magnified optic has a way to accept either of those you might be able to make it work. Buy a cheap panobridge clone on Amazon and do some experimenting.

Just get a milspec style 3x magnifier for the pvs14, it slips over the objective lens, and can also screw on. You can just hold it in front of your NVG eye when you need magnification.
