Photonis Defense Boomslang 50-degree FOV Wide Angle PVS-14 Optics Set

One Optic Set Required for Monocular / Two Optic Sets Required for Binocular

Photonis Defense Boomslang 50° FOV wide-angle PVS-14 optics optics offer a 25% increase in viewable area compared to standard 40° FOV optics found on most milspec lens systems. In addition to the increase in situational awareness from the wider field of view, Boomslang optics also provide a weight reduction (25-30g per eye, compared to Standard Milspec optics).

Boomslangs represent a generational leap in wide FOV lenses. From testing there is no visible “fisheye” or distortion present and only very minor chromatic aberration on the very edge of the lenses. The lenses have been optimized for Photonis’ P45 white phosphor tubes, but will also work with standard green tubes. The eyebox is shorter than standard PVS-14 lenses but can be comfortably used with standard protective eyewear (eg: Oakley M-Frames) and Avon gas masks with no vignetting or loss of image.

For users that look to setup Boomslangs with panning setups such as the ABNV RPNVG or Noise Fighters Panobridge, the PD Boomslangs, offer not only a 25% advantage to the outer edges of the image but the inner edges as well. This allows more overlap and less of the “Venn-diagram” phenomenon experienced by panning users.
