Victory Pocket - Compact and lightweight

Whether you want to carry them everywhere or only when you're enjoying your sport of choice, you can't make a better decision if you opt for our Victory Pocket 8x25 or the more powerful 10x25. They both fold so as to fit into the smallest of pockets, and their weight is hardly noticeable.

These comfortable pocket binoculars are premium optics and both give a brilliant visual experience in a mini format. What's more, thanks to the LotuTec coating, water just drips off and dirt can be easily removed.

Hot Spot Portugal

Enjoying the freedom in Portugal. The Nature Lodge we found in Portugal is quite simply a Paradise for anyone interested in nature - but it's just as good for Family Holidays too.

Far from the madding crowd, there's total peace and quiet, good food and wine, and fun for all the family with the watersports on offer on the shores of the warm, clean, mosquito-free lake at the bottom of the garden.

Owned and run by a British-Austrian couple, Frank and Daniela McClintock, the feeling is professionally laid-back and "home from home", with many guests returning year after year. Frank is a professional Birding and Nature Guide and has ZEISS binoculars always on hand to lend to visitors eager to watch the local Spanish Imperial Eagles and other bird and mammal species.

Victory SF

Living the new Passion for Birding. The manager of this paradise in Portugal, Frank McClintock, was one of the first users of the VICTORY SF, buying his pair as soon as they hit the shops.

These are the binoculars that suit him best, not only giving him the best clarity at long range, but also focusing right down to his feet for easy identification of the many butterflies and dragonflies that surround his Quinta, while the unique ergonomics give him fatigue-free birding on his long trips out.

At first Daniela was not happy by his un-planned investment in the Victory SF, but she soon saw the advantages this model gave when she tried them for herself!

With their wide field of view and excellent level of detail, Frank's Victory SFs have become indispensable for his guided tours.

ZEISS Nature Blog - The red dragon

At first sight the name "Red Kite" for Milvus milvus seems strange to non-English speakers - what has a bird to do with a flying kite in autumn? In fact though the question is back-to-front as the child's toy was named after the bird, and when you watch the Red Kite using a thermal, watch how it how it glides through the air while it scans the ground below it, it is easy to see the resemblance.

The species is very exceptional: Read more about it in our ZEISS Nature Blog
