The compact pre-lens thermal imaging clip-on Archer TCN-11 is intended for use with daylight optical sights. The frequency of a daylight sight is from 3x to 8x.
It is difficult to overestimate the ease of this device‘s usage paired with daytime optics: while a day sight is always on a rifle, the high-quality thermal imaging clip-on allows solving tasks even in extreme weather conditions while not disrupting the adjustment of the day sight.
The fixed focus of the objective relieves the necessity of image focusing.
The Archer TCN-11 clip-on can be operated remotely. The device is equipped with a quick detached mount on a Picatinny rail. Power is supplied via 4 AA-type batteries (lithium or rechargeable batteries).
