The Argus BNVD 1431 MK2 Night Vision Housing Kit is a rugged and modular dual-tube night vision goggle platform designed for users who want to customize their system with the optics and image intensifier tubes of their choice. This MK2 update delivers significant structural and functional upgrades over earlier versions, making it one of the most popular and field-proven DIY NV builds available.
Built for durability, the 1431 MK2 features an improved dovetail interface that provides a stronger and more secure lock-up when helmet mounted. The recontoured skeletonized pod design reduces bulk while increasing rigidity, improving both strength and balance during long deployments. The upgraded material composition enhances the overall strength-to-weight ratio, providing long-term reliability under field stress.
The housing includes IPD stops to maintain consistent interpupillary distance settings, a useful feature for repeatable alignment and user comfort. An on-board IR illuminator provides short-range illumination for navigation or reading in low-light environments. Power is supplied by a standard AA onboard battery, and the system also includes a Fischer connector port for compatibility with external battery packs to extend runtime.
This is a complete housing kit that includes everything needed to assemble a functional goggle system—minus the optics and image intensifier tubes. It accepts standard 10160 or MX-11769 tube formats depending on the selected configuration and optics.
