This tactical filter is preferably used at night to reduce glare. BCR = Boost Cold Red The boost variant of the CR filter optimizes the brightness dynamics. This means that even less warm objects are displayed better.
- Page 10 BH = Black Hot In contrast to the white-hot filter, the heat sources are displayed in black here. This makes the thermal image look much more natural. However, as a much larger area of the image is displayed in lighter shades of gray, the glare effect is more pronounced at night.

Page 24: Mounting Options
Mounting options The TigIR is compatible with the universal M52x0.75 thread. There is a suitable adapter for practically every external lens diameter of rifle scopes, spotting scopes or other optics. It is very easy to use: the adapter is simply screwed onto the thread on the eyepiece side of the TigIR and fixed in the optimum position by unscrewing the locking screw, provided the adapter does not have its own locking system. -
