    Compact and lightweight

    The Conquest Compact binoculars are genuine featherweights. Weighing no more than 200 g they are the lightest binoculars in the premium class. Their intelligent Z-fold design means that the Conquest Compact will fit easily in your shirt or jacket pocket, or in a child's backpack.

    Robust and splash proof

    These binoculars are weatherproof and splash-resistant. The extremely robust housing protects the delicate optics from any knocks or blows, making them even more suitable for use by children. The rubber armour also provides a pleasing, non-slip grip.

    Simple to operate

    Both the focusing wheel and the diopter adjustment can be operated with just one hand. Little hands will be able to manage these binoculars with ease as they are designed with an extremely small radius. Even people who wear glasses can enjoy full vision thanks to the specially designed eyepieces with their adjustable eyecups.

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

    You will really notice the difference on dark autumn days or when watching owls in the spring. The unique Carl Zeiss T* multi-layer coating, ensures that plenty of light comes through the lenses in all Carl Zeiss binoculars. This enables you to watch birds with unrivalled clarity and brightness in twilight, dark weather conditions and even in the interplay of light and shade found in woodland.
