We present new accurate masses at the bottom of the main sequence as well as an improved empirical mass-luminosity relation for very low mass stars in the visible and near infrared. Masses were obtained by combining very accurate radial velocities and adaptive optics images of multiple stars obtained at different orbital phases.
