The PD-PRO-16B is a lightweight binocular designed for special forces personnel who need the smallest, lightest night vision system without compromising on the advanced features found in larger, bulkier models used by the US special forces. It is built around Photonis 16mm image intensifier tubes—the only mass-produced 16mm tubes on the market. These tubes offer the same field of view as the 18mm tubes commonly used, despite being 40% smaller and lighter.

This binocular is built with an extremely rugged aerospace-grade aluminum housing, making it capable of withstanding underwater operations up to 20 meters (66 feet) deep and performing in environments with electromagnetic interference (EMI). German precision optics and proprietary coatings make the PD-PRO-16B one of the most advanced night vision devices available today.

Weighing less than 490 grams (17.3 ounces) with battery and day caps, the 16mm tubes provide a 41-degree horizontal and 40-degree vertical field of view, with a focus range from 7.9 inches to infinity. The PD-PRO-16B is packed with professional-level features, including adjustable diopters, an infrared (IR) illuminator, and a 24-hour runtime on a single lithium AA battery.

Specifically designed for personnel who prioritize weight and durability without sacrificing performance, the PD-PRO-16B can be easily mounted to diving masks or ballistic helmets. Its compact design allows for convenient neck sling carry, making it versatile enough for non-military uses such as off-roading or hiking.

As a premium offering, the PD-PRO-16B is the ideal choice for those who demand the best all-around goggle for all light conditions. It features Photonis' renowned capabilities, including the fastest auto-gating, best-in-class contrast, outstanding low-light and high-light resolution, and exceptional edge-to-edge clarity and sharpness.
