What is this type of scope mount called?

[Lucky]

I would like to buy one of these mounts, it would really make my old night-vision monocular much more useful! Does anyone know what the particular mount is called?

The mount pictured has a camera-tripod type mount to attach to the NV device, and then a weaver-rail attachment at the other end.

From the image displayed, I would call it difficult to zero, and even more difficult to maintain zero. The single screw attachment that fits the hole in the bottom of the optic, is designed for quick attachment to a tripod, where there is no need to have a precise and repeatable aligment of the optic to the tripod.

How do you prevent the optic from pivoting on the axis of this screw, the first time it take a bump while travelling? How do you even get an original zero, if it doesn't have some time of micrometer adjustment (not obvious from the image if it does)?

To me, the picture shows that the scope can come off. In its present state, it is at the rear of the mount. It looks like it slides forward in the bevertail and is tightened by both of the screws.

Ohhhh, ok. Shucks. I've got an old NV that's the same big size as that, and it would be fun for airsoft. Oh well.

Please ensure your monocular has a flash cut off. I tried shooting skunks with a ruger standard model and a monocular. Can't say that it was a pleasant experience for any of the parties involved.

I could see a setup like that be very usefill with the addition of somthing like a standard laser or IR laser. I agree that using it as an aiming device is useless, forget that you cant zero it, there are to reticles on standard NV scopes anyway.

A "No Zero Mount"?

I'd call it hilarious.

To difficult to keep zero for sure.

BINGO! ThoughI don't think zeroing or lack of stability would be much of an issue. Looks to me like it's just a way to mount a monocular, and then hopefully be able to see the bead. Sort of like a poormans NVG.

Extremely unstable?
