Argus A4 Dovetail NVG Mount
The Argus A4 Dovetail NVG Mount is a lightweight, adjustable helmet mount designed to provide a secure interface between compatible dovetail-equipped night vision systems and standard NVG helmet shrouds.
With adjustable height, tilt, and positioning along with a selectable breakaway function, the A4 provides the core functionality needed to properly position night vision in front of the user's eyes while maintaining a compact helmet-mounted configuration.
The combination of aluminum and polymer construction helps keep weight down while providing a practical mounting solution for PVS-14s, binocular night vision systems, and other compatible dovetail-equipped devices.
Why Choose the Argus A4?
- Dovetail NVG interface
- Adjustable height and tilt
- Selectable breakaway function
- Aluminum and polymer construction
- Low-profile helmet-mounted design
- Compatible with a wide range of dovetail-equipped night vision systems
- Designed for use with compatible NVG helmet shrouds
Dovetail Night Vision Interface
The A4 uses a dovetail interface for attaching compatible night vision devices and adapters.
Dovetail mounting is widely used across modern night vision systems, allowing the A4 to support a variety of compatible monocular and binocular configurations.
For a PVS-14, a compatible dovetail J-arm or adapter is required between the monocular and the mount.
Adjustable Height & Tilt
Proper NVG positioning is critical for maintaining comfortable eye alignment and getting the most from the optical system.
The Argus A4 provides height and tilt adjustment, allowing the night vision device to be positioned relative to the user's helmet, eyes, and individual equipment setup.
These adjustments also make it easier to accommodate differences in helmet geometry, shroud placement, eye protection, and night vision systems.
Selectable Breakaway Function
The A4 incorporates a selectable breakaway function that can allow the mount to release from the helmet shroud when subjected to sufficient external force.
This feature is intended to reduce the potential for the helmet and mounted night vision system to become a snag point during certain situations.
Lightweight Construction
The Argus A4 combines aluminum and polymer components to balance structural strength with overall mount weight.
Reducing unnecessary weight at the front of the helmet can be particularly valuable when the mount is paired with a complete night vision system and other helmet-mounted equipment.
Compatibility
The Argus A4 is designed for dovetail-equipped night vision devices and adapters and compatible NVG helmet shrouds.
This can include PVS-14 configurations using an appropriate dovetail J-arm, as well as compatible articulating binocular night vision systems with an integrated dovetail.
Compatibility depends on the complete helmet, shroud, mount, and night vision configuration. If you're unsure whether the A4 will work with your setup, contact QDEF before ordering.
Complete Your Helmet Setup
A properly configured NVG mounting system is just as important as the night vision device itself. Quad Defense offers helmet mounts, dovetail adapters, counterweights, battery retention systems, and other components for building a complete helmet-mounted night vision setup.

QDEF COMPLIANCE // U.S. EXPORT CONTROL
Export &
ITAR Compliance
Certain products, components, technical data, and services offered by Quad Defense may be controlled under United States export-control laws and regulations.
These requirements may include the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), or other applicable U.S. laws and regulations.
Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with the export-control requirements applicable to the products or information they purchase, receive, transfer, resell, or otherwise provide to others.
Do not export, re-export, transfer, release, or provide controlled products, technical data, or services to a foreign person, foreign destination, or unauthorized end user without first determining whether U.S. Government authorization is required.
This includes transfers that may occur inside the United States when controlled technical data or other controlled items are released to a foreign person.
What Is ITAR?
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations are administered by the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
ITAR governs defense articles, defense services, and related technical data identified on the United States Munitions List, as well as certain exports, temporary imports, reexports, retransfers, and other controlled transactions.
Not every product sold by Quad Defense is necessarily ITAR-controlled. Export classification depends on the specific product, component, technology, technical data, and transaction.
Night Vision & Related Equipment
Night vision products and related equipment may be subject to U.S. export-control restrictions depending on their classification, configuration, technical characteristics, origin, and intended destination or end user.
Some products may fall under ITAR jurisdiction while others may be controlled under the Export Administration Regulations or another regulatory framework.
The absence of an βITARβ label on a product page should not be interpreted as confirmation that the product is unrestricted for international transfer.
Who May Receive Controlled Items?
Export-control rules can restrict who may receive certain products, technical data, or defense services.
ITAR distinguishes between U.S. persons and foreign persons. The applicable regulatory definitions should be used when determining whether a particular transfer or release requires authorization.
Citizenship alone should not be used as the sole test for every export-control determination.
Authorization May Be Required
Depending on the item and circumstances, U.S. Government authorization may be required before a controlled product or technical data may be:
- Exported from the United States
- Re-exported from one foreign country to another
- Retransferred to a different end user or end use
- Released or provided to a foreign person
- Sold or transferred to another party for a different destination or purpose
- Used to furnish a controlled defense service
Applicable licenses, agreements, exemptions, exceptions, or other authorizations must be determined before the transaction occurs.
Resale Does Not Remove Export Restrictions
Purchasing a product from Quad Defense and later reselling or transferring it does not eliminate applicable U.S. export-control restrictions.
Customers who resell controlled products are responsible for ensuring that subsequent transfers comply with applicable export-control laws, end-user restrictions, destination restrictions, licensing requirements, and other regulatory obligations.
Where appropriate, downstream purchasers should also be informed that the product may be subject to U.S. export-control restrictions.
Technical Information May Also Be Controlled
Export controls may apply not only to physical hardware but also to certain technical information associated with controlled products.
Depending on its content and classification, controlled technical data may include certain detailed information relating to the design, development, production, manufacture, assembly, operation, repair, testing, maintenance, or modification of controlled defense articles.
Quad Defense may therefore limit the distribution of certain technical information or documentation when necessary to comply with applicable export-control obligations.
Purchaser Acknowledgment

I understand that certain products or technical information provided by Quad Defense may be subject to U.S. export-control laws and regulations.
I will not export, re-export, transfer, release, or otherwise provide controlled products or technical data contrary to applicable U.S. law.
I understand that U.S. Government authorization may be required before certain items or technical data may be transferred to a foreign destination, foreign person, different end user, or different end use.
If I resell or transfer controlled products, I am responsible for determining and complying with applicable restrictions governing that subsequent transaction.
I understand that violations of U.S. export-control laws may result in significant civil, criminal, and administrative penalties.
Quad Defense May Refuse a Transaction
Quad Defense reserves the right to refuse, cancel, delay, or request additional information regarding any transaction when necessary to evaluate export-control compliance, end use, end user, destination, or other legal requirements.
This may include requesting information sufficient to verify purchaser identity, intended end use, ultimate destination, or other compliance information relevant to the transaction.

Great company 10/10 will buy from them again and will be telling everyone Ik to shop here as well!
Nice mount, but arrived damaged. the tension arm lever for the vertical adjustment was snapped off at the top. making it difficult to lock down without cutting into your thumb, possibly damaged during shipping. contacted Quad Defense to include texting some pictures. Quad Defense stated they were working on it.
