ABSTRACT:
A mounting bracket assembly that enables a flashlight to be retroactively coupled to an optical device such as a night vision scope. The mounting bracket assembly includes an adaptor that engages the housing of the optical device proximate the objective lens of the optical device. A bracket is provided that clamps around the adaptor, whereby the adaptor rigidly joins the bracket to the optical device. An aperture is formed through a section of the bracket. The aperture is sized to receive and retain the cylindrical body of a flashlight with an interference fit, thereby coupling the flashlight to the optical device. A threaded bore is disposed at the bottom of the bracket. The threaded bore is sized to receive the threaded connector of a tripod or other similar static support. As a result, by coupling the bracket to a tripod or similar static support, the entire optical device can be supported.
