Mounts[edit | edit source]
G24[edit | edit source]
One of the most well known mounts, it features height, pitch and distance adjustment, while being extremely lightweight. The flip up/down function on this mount requires depressing a button, which makes sure the device stays deployed or stowed regardless of mechanical force.
Several clones exist, ranging from cheaper low quality replicas to higher quality ones like the LWNVM by Argus.
G01[edit | edit source]
The Wilcox L4 G01 is intended to be used with AN/AVS-9 binoculars, but instead of aviation for ground use to provide a more rugged mounting system than issued aviation HGU mounts.
A L4 G02 was produced with very slight differences to fit a AN/PVS-23. Both mounts come with a VAS shroud adapter interface.
The mount is powered by either a CR123 battery operated or via an ANVIS or similar battery-pack.
Compared to the newer GSGM, the mount requires interchangeable accessories to switch power source, while the GSGM features a simple switch allowing to switch between the two sources.
The mount features height adjustment that can be released and fixated by the lever at the top.

GSGM / DPAM[edit | edit source]
The Wilcox GSGM (Ground Spec Goggle Mount) and DPAM (Dual Power Aviators Mount) is the latest version of ball-detent mounting system next to the Wilcox AERONOX. The GSGM offers a more rugged and practical design compared to other ball-detent mounts and is compatible to most ball-detent interface NVGs. Originally it doesn’t come with any VAS shroud interface. Both Wilcox and Ops Core offer separate DPAM VAS insert adapters.
The mount is powered by either a CR123 battery or by ANVIS or similar battery packs. The power sources can be individually changed with a switch on the right side of the mount.
The mount features height adjustment that can be released and fixated by the lever at the top.
