This package includes two Complete Tantos with Daisho articulating powered bridge.
The TAPB (Tanto Articulating Powered Bridge) Nocturn Industries Daisho is the dual bridge for two Tanto monocualars. With minimal tools or extra parts two Tantos can now be bridged together into a dedicated binocular system that does not compromise on weight or functionality. The tanto bridge enables the use of a single battery for both tubes, has optional built in IPD stops, individual pod power on/off when articulated to the side, etc. similar to the UANVB Katana. All Daishos include the optional LEMO remote power port.
Custom Night Visions offers the Daisho Package with Two Tantos in three colors (Black, FDE and OD Green) with the following tube options:
- L3Harris 20UA Filmless White Phosphor – Aviation Spec
- L3Harris 20UA Supergain Filmless White Phosphor – Aviation Spec
- Elbit White Phosphor
- Photonis White Phosphor (no manual gain functionality for photonis tubes at this time)
L3Harris SuperGain Filmless White Phosphor image intensifier tubes increase the Luminance Gain (Gain) specification for image intensifier tubes from the standard 40,000-80,000 fL/fc to between 100,000-120,000 fL/fc.  This greatly increases the image intensifier’s ability to amplify and collect light, resulting in a noticeably brighter image with increased low light performance and extending operational envelope and ability to see into dark areas.
Handpicked Option – Select this if you want Custom Night Vision to select intensifier tubes for you instead of selecting a set from our inventory.  We will contact you (typically within 24-48 hours of placing your order) with pictures and specs of tubes we select to ask for your approval. If you have preferences on certain specs (ie: SNR, EBI etc…) please include those in your order notes and we will do our best to meet your goal.  After customer tube approval the night vision unit will be ready to ship within 1 to 3 business days.
Housing Swap Only Option – Includes prepaid label to send your existing night vision goggle or two monoculars to us.  We will swap your tubes and optics to a new Daisho Package with Two Tantos including collimating and purge.  All remaining parts will be sent back to the customer with the complete Daisho Package.
We offer three choices of Optics
- Standard Mil Spec Optics
- Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) 3.0 Ultralight
- Photonis Defense Boomslang 50 Degree FOV
The innovative design allows users to seamlessly transform their UANVM Tanto monoculars into an articulating binocular in under a minute or go from a binocular back to two monoculars to share with a partner (requires any PVS-14 style J-Arm for monocular use). To transform into the binocular, simply remove the battery cap and battery, insert the bridge into the battery compartment, and tighten the rear clamp screws on the bridge, done.
Like all Nocturn Industries’ products, the housings carry Nocturn’s unlimited lifetime warranty.

Thomas –
These are pretty awesome. I really like the idea that they can be run independently, they are super light,
