VECTOR X Pro Tips

For those who demand precision and performance in long-range shooting and hunting, the VECTOR X rangefinding binocular redefines what’s possible, blending exceptional optics with groundbreaking technology. Discover these 7 pro tips to unlock the full potential of your VECTOR X and elevate your skills in the field.

1. 905nm Laser Rangefinder

Accurate distance measurements are the foundation of long-range success, and the VECTOR X pushes the boundaries with its 905nm, Class 1M and Class 1 laser engine. Eye-safe and capable of measuring challenging, distant targets, it sets a new standard for reliability and precision.

PRO TIP: For optimal range performance, enable Long Range Mode (LRM) in the settings. Then, press and hold the range button to measure your target in SCAN mode.

2. Premium Optics

With its bright, color-neutral image, superior contrast, and wide field of view, the VECTOR X is an essential tool in scenarios where every detail matters. Its optical system is complemented by the optional Range Enhancers. These screw-on lenses easily attach to the binoculars’ objectives, increasing magnification by 1.4x. For example, the 10×42 model quickly becomes a 14×42 when more magnification is needed.

PRO TIP: To maintain a calibrated MRAD reticle while using Range Enhancers, opt for the Dual-Magnification Reticle (DMR)

3. Integrated ballistic calculator

Applied Ballistics Elite, pre-installed in the VECTOR X, provides precise firing solutions. The integrated HUD screens display ballistic correction values directly beneath the range measurement, allowing you to be on target seconds faster. Furthermore, a target card can be created and displayed directly on the device. Through the extensive connectivity ecosystem, data can be transferred to various third-party apps or devices such as Kestrel wind meters or Garmin wrist-mounted GPS navigators, providing professional users with a decisive advantage.

PRO TIP: Create accurate ballistic profiles for your firearm and ammunition to ensure your firing solutions are tailored for your exact setup.

4. Unrivaled usability

To manage a multitude of functions quickly and intuitively, the VECTOR X introduces a game-changing D-PAD interface, allowing you to navigate menus and settings with ease. Eliminating the complexity known from traditional one- or two-button devices, this intuitive system puts every feature at your fingertips – giving you the edge, even in high-pressure scenarios.

PRO TIP: Long-press the four directional buttons of the D-PAD buttons to quickly access shortcuts to the target card, Bluetooth settings, laser modes or the stopwatch/timer.

5. Attention to detail

Nothing was left to chance with the VECTOR X. Decades of experience, combined with input from numerous partners, have shaped a product that combines durability, versatility, and reliability. Its rugged magnesium housing, rubber armoring, and IP-67 rating ensure toughness. Dual battery compatibility (CR123A and 18650 rechargeable) provides an option for extended runtime. High-quality accessories included with the scope of delivery, like a protective soft case and flip-up lens covers, further enhance usability, with additional third-party options such as Anti-Reflection Devices from Tenebraex and tripod mounts from AREA 419 and RRS available.

PRO TIP: Mount your VECTOR X on a tripod for increased stability and precision when measuring distant targets.

6. Extended functionality with the mobile app

The VECSS mobile app, powered by Applied Ballistics Elite, features a library of over 800 bullets, enabling you to create accurate gun profiles. Seamlessly view, edit, and transfer all data between your VECTOR X and the app. Remote control functionality allows you to adjust settings, trigger measurements, and export target or range cards with ease. Additionally, the app transforms your VECTOR X into a navigational tool by displaying measured targets on Google Maps.
