Andres Defence TigIR 6Z+

• 640x512 thermal sensor: The high-resolution microbolometer with 12.00 μm pixel pitch gives the clip-on enough detail for target recognition and observation at longer distances, while the 60.00 Hz refresh rate keeps movement looking natural when scanning or tracking.
• 55.00 mm F 1.0 objective: A large fast lens helps the device gather more thermal information, which supports the stated 3000.00 m detection range and improves image brightness and contrast in difficult weather and at night.
• True 1.00x clip-on format: Because the TigIR 6Z+ is built as a 1.00 x thermal attachment, it mounts in front of compatible day optics without changing the rifle scope’s familiar eye position or handling.
• Compact aluminum housing: At 527.00 g and only 112.00 mm long, the unit adds less bulk to the front of the host optic, making it easier to keep a practical field setup for hunting optics or professional observation use.
• Recording and video output: Built-in image capture, video recording and video output make it easier to document observations, review events later and integrate the device into a broader observation or training setup.

About the Andres Defence TigIR Series

Andres Defence TigIR is the manufacturer’s flagship thermal clip-on series, introduced in 2020 for users who need a compact front-mounted thermal system for day optics. The series is built around the idea of keeping a clip-on short and practical without giving up the optical performance expected from a larger attachment. TigIR models are designed to mount in front of riflescopes and spotting scopes, with civilian versions using optical adapters and government or military variants offering different mounting options.

A defining part of the series is its use of athermal Germanium lenses and 60 Hz thermal sensors, which support stable imaging and smooth motion rendering in field use. The housing is made from aviation aluminum with hard-anodized and Cerakote-coated surfaces, reflecting a design focus on low weight, durability and repeatable alignment. Within the Andres Industries range, TigIR sits above more general-purpose handheld concepts as a dedicated thermal attachment family for users who want to preserve the handling and sight picture of their daytime optic while adding thermal imaging capability.

About the Andres Defence TigIR 6Z+

Andres Defence TigIR 6Z+ is a 1.00 x thermal clip-on built for front mounting on compatible day optics, making it a practical choice where the user wants thermal detection without changing the basic shooting or observation setup. Its 55.00 mm objective and F 1.0 aperture are central to the model’s role: they support a long stated 3000.00 m detection range and help the sensor collect more thermal contrast, which matters when searching for heat sources across open ground or in poor visibility.

The thermal core uses a 640x512 microbolometer with 12.00 μm pixel pitch, 40.00 mK temperature sensitivity and a 60.00 Hz refresh rate. In practice, this combination helps the image stay detailed and fluid enough for scanning moving subjects, while the Micro OLED display with 873x500 resolution presents the thermal image in a compact clip-on format. The 8.00 ° field of view balances area coverage with the reach expected from a 55 mm thermal attachment.

Mechanically, the TigIR 6Z+ is designed to stay compact at 112.00 mm in length and 527.00 g in weight, so it adds less forward bulk than many larger thermal clip-on systems. The aluminium housing, waterproof and fogproof construction, and operating range of -32/+50°C suit demanding outdoor use. Image capture, video recording and video output add useful documentation capability, while the M52x0.75 rear compatibility with the Dedal mounting standard supports integration with suitable optical setups.

About Andres Defence

Andres Defence products are made by Andres Industries AG, a Berlin-based German company whose roots date to 1999 and which has operated as a public limited company since 2006. The company shifted its focus toward thermal imaging technology in 2012 and has since developed a product range centered on compact thermal systems for observation and clip-on use.

Its thermal portfolio includes the TILO goggles as well as the TigIR and PumIR clip-on families. Andres Industries describes technologies such as automatic flap control and subpixel collimation as part of its thermal-imaging expertise. The TigIR series launched in 2020, following the TILO series in 2017, and reflects the company’s emphasis on compact dimensions, robust housings and practical integration with existing optics.
