The Trijicon Electro Optics Wilcox G24 Helmet Mount is a low profile mount designed for use with Trijicon IR-Patrol M250 and M300W thermal monoculars. The mount allows the operator to use the monocular hands-free and make fine adjustments for the best possible use of the device. The mount allows the attached monocular to be flipped up and stowed back when not in use, allowing the operator's view to be unimpaired when thermal optics are not necessary to current mission conditions. The mount has a breakaway feature that protects both the monoculars and operator from harm under stressed conditions, such as entering and exiting vehicles. For quick and easy detachment of the monocular, the G24 Helmet Mount has a quick release button that allows for one hand detachment of the monocular.
