The BNVD sports dual articulating tubes, with an auto-off when a tube is rotated out of the way. These goggles run off either a CR123 or AA battery, so you can fuel them with whatever is handy. A remote battery pack is also available, offering more juice and better balance on your helmet.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on specs and pricing make sure to visit<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flir.com\/\" campaign=\"FLIRSHOT2018\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\"> FLIR.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FLIR is the first name in thermal products having been an industry leader for a very long time.
