Have been having problems with getting my PVS14 to 'line up' properly with my eye and wanted to see if I was missing something stupid to end my frustration. I started with the RHINO mount and right off, the ocular sat a good 1/2 to 1/3 inch below my eye to where I had to crank up the tilt/angular adjustment all the way to see through the monocle yet still have a good portion of it blacked out due to not being able to look through it. The obvious answer was to get a newer mount with a vertical adjustment, or so I thought.
I currently have a Crye Airframe helmet which I love because it sits much lower on your head than a MICH (which I think is part of my issue), a Wilcox 3 hole shroud and ended up with the Wilcox G11 Army mount. Put it on and I have the same issue. While I am able to adjust the vertical setting up to .9 of an inch and while better, still doesnt let me look through the entire ocular. I have to again crank the entire vertical/tilt setting to where the ocular is pointed upward in order to see through it; I do not think this would hold while moving around over terrain and makes for an awkward feeling of looking down through the monocle.
I can't see to understand this. I have, I thought, an average size head (medium helmet) and shouldn't really have an issue especially with a mount that gives you so much adjustment. I am almost thinking that I am completely missing something as it just doesn't seem like I should be having this issue.
Besides that, the only other solution I can think of is a Norotos AKA2 as it has more vertical adjustment or to look into a Wilcox PVS14 arm as it looks to be shorter (height wise) than the standard J-arm.
Anyone have any ideas?
