Vector Optics Forester 12×50 – BaK-4 Porro

Powerful binocular for hunting and outdoor observation with fixed 12× magnification, large 50 mm objective lenses, BaK-4 Porro prisms and Fully Multi-Coated optical surfaces. Forester SCBO-18 combines a 90 m field of view at 1000 m, central focusing, individual dioptre adjustment, a magnesium-aluminium alloy body and rubber-armoured exterior for secure handling during active outdoor use.

12× magnification

More visible detail when observing distant subjects

Vector Optics Forester 12×50 SCBO-18 uses fixed 12× magnification – higher than classic 8× and 10× binoculars and aimed at situations where recognising finer detail at distance is the priority.

This configuration is suitable for hunting observation, wildlife, birdwatching, mountain terrain and general outdoor use. At 12× magnification, a stable hold becomes increasingly important, so a balanced position or suitable support can improve comfort during prolonged observation.

12×

High magnification

12× magnification makes it easier to inspect distant subjects in greater detail.

50

50 mm objectives

Large front lenses help collect more of the available light.

4.2

4.2 mm exit pupil

A practical balance between 12× magnification and the large 50 mm objectives.

5.2°

5.2° angular field

The stated linear field of view is 90 m at a distance of 1000 m.

BaK-4 Porro Prism

Classic Porro optical architecture with BaK-4 prisms

SCBO-18 uses a BaK-4 Porro prism system. The Porro layout positions the objectives wider than the eyepieces and is a well-established optical architecture designed to provide a natural sense of depth and strong optical efficiency.

BaK-4 glass

Vector Optics uses BaK-4 prisms for a clean and well-defined image.

Porro Prism

The official specification for the exact SCBO-18 lists Porro prism construction.

Central focusing

The large central focus wheel adjusts both optical channels together.

Fully Multi-Coated

FMC coatings for efficient use of available light

The main optical surfaces are Fully Multi-Coated. Combined with the BaK-4 prisms, these coatings support light transmission, contrast and overall image clarity.

The 50 mm objectives provide useful light-gathering capacity for cloudy weather, woodland and lower-light parts of the day, while actual image brightness naturally depends on the viewing conditions.

  • Fully Multi-Coated optical surfaces.
  • BaK-4 Porro prisms.
  • 50 mm objective diameter.
  • 4.2 mm exit pupil.
  • 15 mm eye relief.

12×50 – balance between magnification and light

The large 50 mm objectives help support the light requirements of the higher 12× magnification and make Forester suitable for detailed daytime and twilight observation.

Field of view

90 metres of coverage at a distance of 1000 m

16m

16 m minimum focus

The manufacturer specifies a minimum focusing distance of 16 metres for SCBO-18.

Magnesium-aluminium alloy, rubber armour and IPX4

The main structure of Forester SCBO-18 uses a magnesium-aluminium alloy, while the outer housing includes protective rubber armouring designed to support a secure grip during wet or active outdoor conditions.

MagAlu Alloy

Strong metal structure intended for practical field use.

Rubber Armoured

Rubberised surfaces improve grip with gloves or wet hands.

IPX4

Protection against water splashes and normal exposure to rain.
