    Brilliant FL-concept

    The brilliance of the natural colours and the outstanding image brightness, results from the use of high-performance fluoride glass. The FL concept means you will hardly see any chromatic aberrations. Even the finest details are pin sharp and with impressive colours – images that caress the eye.



    Best visibility both near and far

    Whether you are watching game in the distance or an interesting bird at close quarters, there is no distance at which the Victory FL binoculars will fail to impress with outstanding images. Even at close range they reveal a wealth of fascinating detail. The wide angle field of view creates an extensive overview, so you don't miss a single thing.



    Innovative lens coating

    Enjoy fascinating image quality whatever the weather. The LotuTec® coating ensures that water simply rolls off the lenses and dirt can be removed easily without a trace.


    Low light lenses thanks to Carl Zeiss T* multi-layer coating

    When out hunting for game that is active at twilight you know what you need from a pair of binoculars: In the twilight or in woodland, in the interplay of light and shade, the use of binoculars with low light lenses pays off. The Carl Zeiss T* multi-layer coating ensures high transmission, in other words it lets plenty of light in. This elaborate lens coating gives you a bright and clear image even in poor light conditions.



    Effortless operation

    The twistable eye cups can be operated with ease. They drop clearly into individual positions and can even be removed completely. The focussing mechanism, with its lockable dioptre adjustment, is easy to use and has maximum grip, so that it can even be operated wearing gloves.



    Uncompromising optics

    You can engage with the harshest conditions with these binoculars: Top quality materials, designed to withstand extreme wear and tear, are the hallmarks of the Victory FL binoculars. Even so, they are still very impressive with their low weight and compact dimensions. The rubber armour protects them from damage, as well as effectively dampening any sounds.
    In addition, the waterproof Victory FL binoculars are filled with nitrogen, so that even extreme changes in temperature do not lead to any condensation inside – so your vision always stays crystal clear.

  • Accessories

    Increase in performance possible

    A cordura pouch, a carrying strap, lens and eyepiece covers and a lens cleaning cloth are included in the scope of delivery of all Victory FL binoculars.
    The broad, comfortable neoprene strap is non-slip and very easily adjustable, making even the low light 56 mm binoculars easy to carry. Robust rubber covers protect the lenses very effectively from dust, moisture and scratches. The eyepiece cover is attached to the carrying strap, which means it cannot get lost when it has been taken off. Well thought-out accessories for carrying comfort and protection.

    Additional accessories make the Victory FL binoculars even more versatile:


    Binofix tripod adapter

    The universal adapter ensures that the Carl Zeiss binoculars of 30 mm lens diameter can be mounted quickly and easily on any type of tripod. This then enables stable observation over longer periods of time, even at extremely high magnifications. When used with the triple boost of the Mono attachment you can enjoy a visual experience similar to that provided by a spotting scope.


    Mono 3x12 T*

    If you want to take a closer look, the Monobooster can be fixed onto the eyepiece using an adapter ring and can easily be taken with you wherever you go. The VICTORY HT, Victory FL/RF and Conquest binoculars of 30 mm lens diameter can thus be turned into a high-performance spotting scope in the blink of an eye by tripling the magnification. The Mono 3x12 T* can also be used on its own as a miniature telescope or as a magnifying glass at close range.



    Carrying strap with Air Cell comfort

    This enables you to carry binoculars with a lens diameter of 30 mm or more far more comfortably should you have a long deerstalking expedition ahead of you. The air cells embedded in the material make the strap much more comfortable to wear while the quick release fasteners mean that the high-quality strap is easy to put on and take off. The length is fully adjustable.
