With long experience in optics with built-in laser distance measurement, Zeiss is now one of the best players on the market.
The Victory RF is the second generation of their binocular "Range Finders". The design is taken from the Victory HT series which means a large focusing wheel that is slightly moved down from the eyepiece for better access and with a smooth operation even when wearing gloves. The battery is in a slot in the center link, under the focusing wheel. The buttons for the laser dot reading are well placed on each lens, just below the end of the center link, slightly on the inside for fingertip access. With the laser point measurement, you can easily and comfortably measure the distance to the game (for the hunter) or the flying bird. The binoculars are very robust with a rubber-reinforced magnesium chassis and the nitrogen gas filling guarantees dust, condensation and water tightness to a depth of 1 meter. The outer lenses are treated with Zeiss LotuTech, which repels dirt and water and facilitates cleaning. The eyecups can be adjusted in four different positions. The diopter adjustment takes place individually on both eyepieces for both optical and reading optimization with up to ±3 diopters. The binoculars are equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for linking with the Zeiss Hunting App. The binoculars are supplied with a 3V CR2 battery, neoprene strap, eyepiece and lens caps and a padded cordura bag.
