Night Vision Is this doable??

Hey guys, I am completely ignorant when it comes to nv shrouds and mounts, I know you guys are well versed in this stuff. So is there any way to take a Wicked Lights Scan Pro headlamp:

and mount it to an adaptor plate that will fit into a Wilcox nvg shroud? I would like to do away with head harness and run the light on the nvg mount and battery pack on the back.
The reason for this crazy idea is to get away from fighting a headlamp, MSA Sordins and a second headlamp for admin purposes when I coyote hunt. This would allow me to direct mount everything and get it all in one place, the helmet. Thanks for the help.

I've actually done something similar, using the same light. I mounted mine above my shroud, directly to the helmet. I just drilled holes through the part of the light head where the straps attach. (I removed the straps). Mounted the battery to the rear and went with it. Should be pretty simple to rig it to the shroud too. Probably just have to build you an adapter plate.

Good idea. How do you like that setup? Was it worth doing? Thanks!

For me, It's not worth cutting up the straps and basically ruining the scan pro. I just wanted something bright to take pictures of coyotes after I shoot them. I run a thermal scanner. I think what you have in mind would be great if I were scanning with the light and not using NV/ thermal.

Thanks for the input!

I finally got my helmet setup finished, I’ve been running it since November and love it.

Bruh, don’t be a hater ?

They make a light that clips on the shroud. Sure TNVC would likely have one.
