== Advantages ==
Articulated devices have multiple advantages.

* Selective use of each side of a binocular, advantageous in some conditions, like aiming a firearm
* Ability to move pods out of the field of view quickly and without having to move the entire device into the stored position on top of the helmet
* When in the stored position on top of the helmet, the pods can be swiveled until flush with the helmet, moving the center of gravity back and reducing the overall height, making it less cumbersome to wear in stowed position when in tight spaces, e.g. vehicles or doorways
