Zeiss Victory Harpia 85 Body Angled Spotting Scope

Zeiss Victory Harpia 85 Body Angled Spotting Scope

Designed to produce crisp and clear wide-angle views, the ZEISS Victory Harpia 85 Spotting Scope is engineered for superb performance hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts have come to expect from the brand.

Its performance begins with the use of extra-low dispersion fluorite glass, which virtually eliminates colour fringing and halos caused by chromatic aberration, ensuring views are crisp and sharp with accurate colour fidelity. Additionally, ZEISS' proprietary T* full multi-coat system maximizes light transmission to improve colour rendition, contrast, and clarity, while exterior lens surface LotuTec coating ensures oils, sap, dust, and dirt are easy to clean off without residue. The large 85mm objective lens draws in copious amounts of light to ensure images remain bright and clear, even in low or challenging light, and helps to produce a wide field of view. This version of the Harpia 85 is offered here with the spotting scope body only; an optional eyepiece is required for proper use.

To make viewing more comfortable, the eyepiece holder is set at a 45° angle, which places the user's head in a natural position whether they're sitting, standing, or lying prone. A rotating tripod collar enables the user to further position the eyepiece precisely where they want it to limit head movement when using the spotter with other optics, like a rangefinder or a firearm. A dual-speed focusing mechanism ensures tack-sharp images, and front threads allow the use of filters, like polarizing or ND, to enhance and sharpen views even more. The optical tube is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof in even the harshest conditions, with a standard 1/4"-20 that makes it easy to mount onto most photo/video/field tripods and other support systems.

From the woods to the mountains, to the steppes, the Victory Harpia 85 delivers expansive and panoramic views with enhanced clarity and true colour representation.
