• a helmet adapter plate;
• a front hook coupled to said helmet adapter plate and configured for coupling to a front portion of a helmet;
• a rear hook configured for coupling to a rear portion of said helmet;
• a battery pack hub and buckle assembly coupled to said rear hook;
• and
• a strap extending between said adapter plate and said battery pack hub and buckle assembly.

A vision system mount assembly comprising:

• a receiver configured to be removably coupled to an imaging assembly;
• a cross-slide assembly coupled to said receiver and configured for adjusting said imaging assembly in a first plane;
• a stow pivot/slide assembly configured to pivot said imaging assembly between a first position and a second position, and configured for adjusting said imaging assembly in a second plane;
• and
• a mount arm extending between said stow pivot/slide assembly and said cross-slide assembly.

A receiver for mounting an imaging assembly comprising:

• a body portion;
• first and second mounting features capable of removably coupling an imaging assembly to said body portion;
• and
• a retainer configured to releasably retain said imaging assembly to said body portion, said retainer biased toward an engaged position.

A cross-slide assembly for coupling a vision system to a helmet, comprising:

• a fore-aft slide configured to be coupled to the helmet;
• a fore-aft shuttle slidably coupled to said fore-aft slide and comprising at least one rail;
• and
• a side-side shuttle slidably coupled to said rail, said side-side shuttle configured to be coupled to an imaging assembly.
