The forehead rest definitely has its place. One handed glassing near and far. Also easily taken off for more compact feel when needed.
Swarovski NL Pure FRP Forehead Rest
With the magnification of 10 & 12x Binos, hand shake can be a big distraction/annoyance. The forehead rest DOES provide much needed stability to make viewing more enjoyable, allowing for observation of finer details possible.
The addition of this simple and innovative device makes the Swarovski NL Pure Binos the unrivaled best on the market binoculars.
I have the EL 10X42s and I wasn’t sure how much difference the NL 12X42s would make but I was hoping to see more detail without packing a spotting scope. So far, I can already tell a huge difference. The added power is very noticeable but the clarity is unbelievable. I ordered the FRP forehead rest and was surprised at how much difference it makes in steadiness. I’m glad I made the upgrade. It was well worth it.
The forehead rest was a nice addition to the Pure binoculars. Never thought a small point of contact would make a difference in stability. I’m glad that I was advised to add it to my purchase.
When I was shopping for the NL pure I watched the outdoorsmans video about the head rest. I thought I would give it a chance and I am glad I did. Where I primarily hunt the tripod is a useful tool but most glassing is done freehand. The forehead rest is game changer and really shines when your wearing glasses.
