The gravitomagnetic components of the gravitational field in the tetrad representation $B_{(k)}^{(i)}$ are considered from the point of view of an observer moving relative to a Schwarzschild source. These components are compared with the gravitoelectric components $E_{(k)}^{(i)}$. The general expressions for $B_{(k)}^{(i)}$ and $E_{(k)}^{(i)}$ are obtained without any restriction on the value of the observer's velocity. The influence of the relativistic Lorentz $γ$–factor on the gravitomagnetic and gravitoelectric components is investigated. It is pointed out that in the proper frame of reference of a spinning test particle just the gravitomagnetic interaction determines the deviation of this particle motion from the geodesic motion.
