iRay JerryC CE5 / CE2 Overview (4K)

The most comprehensive video about the iRay JerryC family of clip-on thermal devices, including CE5, CE2, C5, and C2. These devices snap directly onto the objective lens ring of any night vision devices that take PVS-14 lenses and instantly gives thermal detection capabilities out to 1km.

I keep investigating NV and thermal vids before buying, and I'm finding out my eyes are bigger than my wallet.

[@MadComputerScientist]

The comparison and contrast between the devices discussed was super helpful and comprehensive. Thank you!

[@dinomiljanic8708]

Probably the first yt channel i found that gives thorough and clear information about night vision and thermals. Thank you sir!

[@achilles_kbab]

Great overview! Thank you for taking the time to make this!

[@mig1nc]

Great review. Thanks for posting it!

[@antesifner3574]

Have both HM25 (with PVS 14 eyepiece) and CE5. Both are great devices!

[@ricksparks2432]

Very professional video. I have the rh25 but it’s only good for hand held or as a clip on in front of an lpvo. Tried running with PVS 14 doesn’t work well. This looks great to clip on my binos

[@yoinky]

What about running both pvs14 and the rh25 that put you off? I have a mh25 v2 and was thinking of getting a pvs14 to run next to it. I read that trying to see both at the same time made your head hurt

[@cajer30076]

Any info on how to make use the video output/input into the JerryC? Also is there any news of potentially open source software to play with more settings eg: cleaning up the thermal image with better algorithms.

We're getting the C5 in a few weeks and will circle back. Presumably it comes with a video out cable.

[@michaelnyden8056]

Wasn’t aware of that eyepiece that turns it into its own standalone thermal monocular, very cool! How much is that extra little adapter? Have you guys played with the new fusion thermal NV binos from infiray? FB I think it’s called?

[@coldharboursupply]

You can find the eyepiece on our website. The JerryFB, from when we tested it, had some good ideas but the build quality and lens quality left a lot to be desired and as a result we are holding off until the next generation comes around. But it does scratch the thermal fusion itch a bit... Just understand that it is quite unrefined.

[@sejsmo]

Could you show me please how you place 18650 battery inside external battery pack? Mine is way to short.

[@thatoneguy454c]

Do they work well with boomslang optics? I would love to get one for my nightline but I have the 50° glass instead of the Carson or RPO.

[@carlvonfuckwits2934]

I'm having major trouble. I can't get to 3 on contrast and also I change the menu so its right side up but now the thermal images are upside down.

[@thebeardprevails5246]

Browsing these they seem to be always pictured on binocular units, is that a requirement or will one of these work well on a monocular configuration as well?

[@coldharboursupply]

They work very well on monoculars also.

[@RDT_IR]

Excellent overview. Do you think the CE2 sacrifices detection range?

[@coldharboursupply]

From our testing out to 500m, we did not see a difference. I don't imagine that you would. A lot of devices in iRay's line use 320 cores and they have detection ranges exceeding 1km. From our experience, the lens size matters more but in this case the CE5 and CE2 have the same lens size. I think iRay made a good move in terms of sizing down on the display on the CE2 rather than simply magnifying the smaller resolution core.

[@RDT_IR]

@@coldharboursupply That's great to hear, you might've saved me a grand. Last thing; the CE2 is a 384 core not 320, right? I think you say 320 in the vid but your website says 384

[@coldharboursupply]

@@RDT_IR You are correct.. we always default to "640" and "320" cores as those just seem like industry standard "buzzwords" but the CE2 is in fact a 384x288 core. (as you can imagine this is hard to remember)

[@Grizzly_Bear2018]

Will IR lasers and illum still show up in the thermal window when it’s on?

[@garrickr5084]

Awesome video, brother. I’ve read that the overlay of the C5/C2 can cause both temporary burns or permanent burn-in on a variety of tubes. L3 tubes seem to be the most sensitive to this and Elbit/Phototonis thin-filmed seem to be most resistant. Have you noticed anything like this before? I’m using L3 bino’s btw. No sense creating burn-in, and perhaps it is best to just buy a dedicated unit like the MH25 or RH25 (or ML19 for that matter).

[@coldharboursupply]

Your mileage may vary depending on what mode you're in, how bright your ambient light levels are and how high you have to turn the brightness on the JerryC to overcome that. Generally speaking we try to stay below 40% regardless of tube

[@garrickr5084]

@@coldharboursupply very good to know. Truly Appreciate the swift reply. I’m running an N-Vision Halo X50 for my thermal today, which is fantastic. However, it’s big and sits on a heavy firearm. Really tough to scan with. Hence my question on the scanning optics. If you had a choice, based on a sole need for scanning brush/fields to ID (not necessarily PID with it), which would you pick between the ML19, MH25 V2, or RH25?

[@coldharboursupply]

@@garrickr5084 If weight is of no concern, then RH25. Otherwise MH25, but you will lose the ability to collimate your thermal to a night vision device if you're using it as a bridged hybrid setup.

[@nathanmullis1906]

Wtf really??

[@Mr-mp9ur]

Does CE5 take its own exclusive battery cable or standard LEMO/FISHiER cable? For example, Lindu nvg take exclusive battery cable that does not compatible with other battery packs. . .

[@coldharboursupply]

The CE5 takes its own proprietary cable, but we're looking to have an adapter made so you can use a standard LEMO or BNVD cable.

[@noname-zm3lm]

How much is the difference between 384 & 640 image quality in a 1x nvg ?

[@SpecOpsGear]

Whats the useful range of the 384 version of the jerry c? Thanks.

[@coldharboursupply]

In our testing in practical scenarios we were able to see a human-sized target past 400m, but they looked more like a speck at that point. Keep in mind that the host device is 1x magnification and there's a limit to the pixel size.

[@aigeas666]

Is there a firmware upgrade so a CE2 (without Voltage change option in its menu) to be operated with a split cable from a BNVD Battery pack?

[@coldharboursupply]

We do not recommend powering the Jerry devices off of 3rd party battery packs using low-voltage cells due to substantially decreased battery life and voltage incompatability. The aftermarket splitters need a buck converter to be added.

[@aigeas666]

@@coldharboursupply thank you very much for your answer!

[@Pyro5kinetic6beaver]

Seems like a failure point here would be the projector, what if it fogs up or what if it’s raining?

[@allanahvokes4590]

Could a clip-on thermal device overlay onto non-NV optics? For example, onto one of the objective lenses of a pair of binoculars, if you found a way of rigging it up. I'm thinking for highlighting well-camouflaged subjects (eg. birds).

[@coldharboursupply]

I don't think it would work as the COTI relies on a very specific configuration of lenses, optical configuration, and light amplification.
