Panobridge QD1 (Dual QD Dovetail) Bridge

Panobridge QD1 (Dual QD Dovetail) BridgeThe Panobridge QD1 is an all metal bridge mount purpose built for modern thermal and night vision setups requiring quick detach monocular capability. With a class leading total weight of just 1. 9 oz, it weighs the same as a single milspec J Arm while being constructed entirely from 7075 T6 aluminum alloy for exceptional rigidity and durability.

The Panobridge™ QD1 is an all-metal bridge mount purpose-built for modern thermal and night vision setups requiring quick-detach monocular capability. With a class-leading total weight of just 1.9 oz, it weighs the same as a single milspec J-Arm while being constructed entirely from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy for exceptional rigidity and durability. The QD1 also includes full interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment, allowing digital displays to remain properly aligned.

NOTE: Unlike the Panobridge M1, the QD1 does not feature an adjustable field-of-view mechanism, meaning attached monoculars always remain pointed straight forward.

Even so, it remains substantially lighter than competing bridge systems, offering major weight savings while adhering to the Marine Corps principle that ounces equal pounds, and pounds equal pain.

Despite its ultralight design, durability is a top priority. The QD1 uses 7075-T6 aluminum throughout the structure, with stainless steel springs, screws, and latches, and has successfully passed 2-meter drop testing on concrete. Thousands of Noisefighters metal bridges are currently in use with zero reported part failures, including adoption by multiple U.S. law enforcement agencies and FBI tactical teams.

Each monocular can be individually articulated upward without affecting the adjacent device, enabling seamless transitions between night vision, thermal, or unaided vision. This articulation also allows the system to sit closer to the helmet when stowed, improving balance and reducing the risk of striking door frames or overhead obstacles.

A no-questions-asked, transferable lifetime warranty is included. The Panobridge QD1 is made and assembled in the U.S.A. and was designed by a Marine Corps combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan.

CONSIDERATIONS:

• 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.
• 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.
• This bridge is NOT COMPATIBLE with bayonet-style night vision helmet mounts. You MUST HAVE a dovetail-type night vision helmet mount.
