Mount the HS210M to a helmet for hands-free thermal observation.
Required Setup
● A helmet with a compatible shroud and mount
● A dovetail binocular bridge compatible with Wilcox or KVC/RQE format
Helmet-Mounted Applications
● Thermal for Detection, Night Vision for Aiming
● Dual Thermal for Wider FOV and Depth Perception
● Add a “Brain-Fusion” Thermal Layer to Your NVG View
Back
Clip-On
Mount the HS210M in front of your day optic to add thermal capability while maintaining a true 1x thermal view.
Recommended Pairing
Day optics with a 1–2x base magnification for the best viewing experience.
Reticle
Use the day optic’s reticle for aiming and holdover while the HS210M provides the thermal image.
Mounting Height
The included QDF193 mount positions the HS210M 49 mm (1.93 in) above the rail. Match your day optic to this height, or use compatible DNT quick detach mounts in 38 mm (1.5 in: QDM150, QDS150) or 43 mm (1.7 in: QDF170) heights.
Optical Zoom
In Clip-On mode, the HS210M provides a fixed 1x thermal view. To increase magnification, adjust the magnification of the day optic.

Switch Setups in Seconds
The included QDF193 Dual Quick-Detach Flip-to-Side Mount makes switching between setups fast and effortless, with reliable zero retention after removal and reattachment. Move the HYDRA-Mini and mount together to another setup, or switch between helmet-mounted, handheld, and weapon-mounted configurations without removing screws.
AI-Powered ISR for Enhanced Thermal Imaging
Featuring a ≤18 mK NETD thermal sensor and always-on AI-powered Image Super Resolution (ISR), the HS210M delivers detailed thermal imaging and clear target identification in challenging conditions. With a wide FOV of 30.7×23 m @ 100 m (30.7×23 yd @ 100 yd) and a 1x base magnification, it is built for fast detection and engagement at close to medium ranges, making it well suited for pig hunting and pest control.

Versatile Display and Aiming Options
With 4 thermal color palettes, 8 reticle styles, and 5 reticle color options, the HS210M offers flexible display and aiming choices for different environments and shooting scenarios. Picture-in-Picture (PiP) provides a 2x zoom window, enhancing target identification while keeping the broader scene in view.
Capture Every Highlight with Onboard Recording
Press the Record button for instant video and audio recording, or let Recoil Activated Video (RAV) capture the action automatically.
With two rechargeable 18650 batteries, the HS210M provides up to 14 hours of total runtime (7 hours per battery), so you can stay in the field longer, worry-free.

FAQ
How much does the HS210M weigh?
At just 320 g (11.3 oz), the HS210M is lightweight and easy to carry across configurations.
How is the HYDRA-Mini different from the HYDRA Series?
The HYDRA-Mini builds on the proven 3-in-1 versatility of the HYDRA Series with an added helmet-mounted capability. It supports four configurations: standalone, handheld, helmet-mounted, and clip-on. At just 320 g (11.3 oz), the HYDRA-Mini HS210M is also more compact and lightweight than the HYDRA, making it easier to carry and deploy across different setups.
What do I need to mount the HYDRA-Mini to a helmet?
The HYDRA-Mini requires a compatible helmet setup with a shroud, helmet mount, and a dovetail binocular bridge in Wilcox or KVC/RQE format. The included QDF193 Dual Quick-Detach Flip-to-Side Mount features a Picatinny-to-Dovetail Dual Adapter that supports both formats, so no additional adapter is required.
After mounting, perform mechanical collimation first, then fine-tune the alignment using the HS210M’s onboard digital collimation.
What day optics work best with the HYDRA-Mini in clip-on mode?
The HYDRA-Mini is best paired with day optics with a 1–2x base magnification for an optimal viewing experience. This setup provides a wide field of view while allowing the day optic to provide additional magnification when needed.
Can I use my day optic’s reticle in clip-on mode?
Yes. In clip-on mode, the HYDRA-Mini provides a true 1x thermal view, allowing the day optic’s reticle to remain visible and usable for aiming. The day optic can also be magnified to zoom in on the thermal image while the HYDRA-Mini remains at true 1x.
