InfiRay MINI Series Dovetail Shoe

The InfiRay MINI Series Dovetail Shoe (AC49) is a streamlined mounting solution designed specifically for helmet-mounted thermal optics. This dovetail shoe eliminates the need for separate rail adapters and mounting clips, consolidating dual components into a single, purpose-built platform. Manufactured by American Defense Manufacturing, the AC49 meets demanding machining tolerances and quality standards required for mission-critical equipment.

The dovetail configuration accepts the MINI series thermal housing directly after removal of the stock rail, creating a low-profile mounting interface ideal for helmet systems where real estate is limited. At 0.15 lbs and measuring 3.5 x 2.25 x 4.75 inches, the shoe adds minimal weight and bulk—critical factors when mounting optics to combat helmets or tactical headgear. The simplified design reduces connection points and maintenance cycles, translating to faster field deployment and higher reliability during extended operations.

This accessory serves tactical units, law enforcement operators, and military personnel who require dedicated thermal imaging for night operations, surveillance, or adverse-visibility scenarios. The AC49 is engineered for users running InfiRay MINI thermal cores on helmet platforms where integration efficiency and weight savings directly impact operational performance and operator endurance during extended missions.

Operators seeking a reliable, compact helmet-mount solution for thermal optics will find the InfiRay MINI Series Dovetail Shoe a straightforward upgrade over multi-component mounting systems. The combination of precise manufacturing, simplified interface, and purpose-built design makes it the preferred choice for professionals standardizing on MINI thermal platforms.
