Microbat Systems FLATHEAD / FLATHEAD Micro Counterweight

Microbat Systems FLATHEAD / FLATHEAD Micro Counterweight

The Flathead & Flathead Micro Counterweight System delivers streamlined balance and unmatched versatility for lightweight night‑vision setups. Both the standard size Flathead and the Flathead Micro are engineered for users who need effective counterweighting without unnecessary bulk. With a footprint under an inch, it integrates seamlessly with light goggle systems or battery packs—keeping your helmet profile slim, stable, and mission‑ready.

Whether mounted above, below, or directly on a battery pack using the UBPRS (Universal Battery Pack Retention System), the Flathead System adapts effortlessly to your gear. It can also be secured using the optional adhesive Velcro kit for maximum placement flexibility. Inside, the system uses Microbat Systems’ Equilibrium Flexible Counterweights, providing sectionable inserts that are non‑toxic, saltwater‑proof, and fully flexible.

By keeping the counterweight as thin as possible, the Flathead System enhances head articulation, reduces neck fatigue, and improves comfort during extended wear—especially when using backpacks or operating vehicles. Compact, durable, and purpose‑built, it’s the ideal low‑profile solution for balancing modern NVG setups.
