ZEISS Victory RF 8×42

The ZEISS Victory RF is a new premium binocular with an integrated laser rangefinder, BIS II ballistic calculator and Bluetooth function for a safe shot at all distances.

At the push of a button, the rangefinder provides a measurement in seconds, up to a range of 2.300 metres. Based on the distance to the target, the innovative ballistic calculator calculates the correct holdover point, taking into account factors including angle, temperature and air pressure. Thanks to the Bluetooth function, personal ballistic data can be uploaded directly from the ZEISS Hunting App to the Victory RF.  

Stripped back to the essentials, the Victory RF combines modern and classic design with ergonomic advantages: the Comfort Focus concept impresses with a large focusing wheel housed in the Double-Link Bridge. The high-performance optics deliver brilliant, bright and pin-sharp images, protected by a robust magnesium housing.

The extremely robust so-called “Double-Link Bridge”, made of super-light magnesium, guarantees the highest mechanical precision and maximum service life, even under the toughest conditions. Its exceptional robustness is achieved by securely housing the focusing wheel. The ZEISS Victory RF’s design gives users an extremely large gripping surface on the objective tubes, resulting in an unsurpassed natural hand position for maximum image stability. Simply an outstanding ergonomic concept, even when wearing gloves.

With the “Comfort Focus concept”, the noticeably large focusing wheel is positioned far forward in the bridge, making it easy to operate with the index finger. Supported by the deliberately long gear ratio, the design enables effortless and precise focusing without the need for readjustment.

The measurement and menu buttons are positioned very ergonomically on the left and right objective tubes, so there is no need to spread your fingers uncomfortably to measure distances or change menu settings. The user can switch the function of the buttons. The “One-Touch principle” enables precise measurements.

Ballistics
In addition to the nine standard ballistic curves, users can store up to nine further customised ballistic curves (which can be created and saved beforehand in the ZEISS Hunting App) and upload them to the Victory Rangefinder.

Display data
Seven standard display profiles are pre-defined in the ZEISS Victory Rangefinder. The standard profiles show up to two readings in sequence:

• Distance only
• Distance + angle
• Distance + equivalent horizontal distance
• Distance + elevation correction in cm/in
• Distance + elevation correction in MOA
• Distance + elevation correction in MIL
• Distance + click adjustment

Using the ZEISS Hunting App, users can configure up to three additional display profiles. For each display profile, users can store up to three different output values (example: distance + angle + click adjustment). Distance is the only fixed first output value.

Using the ZEISS Hunting App, users can conveniently and clearly configure all the settings of the ZEISS Victory Rangefinder directly on their smartphone, then upload them to their ZEISS Victory Rangefinder. After customising the settings during preparation for a hunt, users do not need their smartphone while hunting. All necessary settings can also be made directly on the ZEISS Victory Rangefinder. The ZEISS Hunting App is essential only for creating custom ballistic and display profiles.

The 42 mm diameter results in a more compact size and a lower weight, which particularly improves carrying comfort. The ergonomic, compact design (166 mm high), together with the large controls, allows for prolonged use in the field with less fatigue. The wide field of view (135 m/1000 m at 8× magnification) provides an excellent overview and reliable observation.
