Replacing the popular MH25 and the Jerry-YM 1.0, the latest version
of the Jerry-YM 2.0 offers true 4-in-1 capability in an impossibly-small
and lightweight package that comes with all of the mounts and
accessories to fulfill these multiple roles. This thermal device can be
used in the following configurations:
- Handheld
- Helmet-mounted (dovetail helmet arm and G24-style dovetail mount included!)
- Stand-alone thermal weapon sight / scope (1913 Picatinny mount included! At lower 1/3 height 1.54")
- Clip-on, in front of a day optic such as a Low Power Variable Optic
(eg: 1-6x or 1-8x scopes) - includes in-menu screen off-set adjustments
to collimate with your day optic
While other devices require you to purchase additional mounts and
accessories to fulfill these multiple roles, the Jerry-YM 2.0 package is
complete right out of the box, saving the end-user hundreds of dollars
in accessories.
The Jerry-YM 2.0 weighs less than 7 ounces/200 grams and includes
additional features like a digital compass, inclinometer, up to 8x
digital zoom and the ability to be powered by 3.7V 18650 batteries as
well as off-board power via USB-C.
New Features for 2024 (2.0 CHS Edition)
New for 2024, the in-menu screen offset adjustments allow users to
adjust the screen position to line up their already-zeroed day optic.
This adjustment also helps users to align the image for use beside a
night vision monocular for hybrid-thermal helmet setups.
Red hot mode is also enhanced to provide a hybrid rainbow gradient to help with target differentiation.

For a summary of key differences between the Jerry-YM and the MH25 V2
With the introduction of the new Jerry-YM thermal monocular, we thought it would be helpful to include a summary of key differences between it and the well-established MH25. While the MH25 V2 is substantially improved over the V1, the Jerry-YM does have some key improvements that are worth considering.

Jerry-YM Pros:
- Lighter weight (228g vs 315g)
- Accepts 18650s natively
- Includes a helmet-mounting solution out of the box (includes L4G24-style NVG mount and dovetail rail with adjustable IPD)
- "Scene" optimized thermal profiles (more testing required if these even make a difference practically)
- Comes in a hard case
- On-board compass and accelerometer

MH25 V2 Pros:
- Larger eyebox compared to the Jerry-YM
- Eyepiece does not articulate (Jerry-YM's eyepiece moves forward and
backwards when adjusting diopter which forces you to move the device
forwards and backwards to compensate)
- More intuitive controls via rotary wheel (click to NUC, turn rotary wheel to zoom)
- Better menu system and easier to operate overall (subjective opinion)
- Has audio recording capabilities
- Mini-rail mounting system on MH25 is more common (Jerry-YM has its
own proprietary 3-hole mounting pattern which makes mounting on a bridge
impossible without making an adapter)
- Better lens protection via the MH25's built-in iris system (Jerry-YM
uses a rubber cap that is difficult to secure elegantly when using the
device)
- Much better USB-C cable routing (if used with the KUULA-brand 180
degree USB-C cable); Jerry-YM is not compatible with 180-degree USB-C
cables and will block the controls, essentially forcing you to route the
USB-C cable forwards, creating a snag hazard
