Zeiss Conquest Gavia 30-60x85 binoculars

Created for those moments when the reach of binoculars is at an end, the Zeiss Conquest Gavia 30-60x85 is a powerful yet surprisingly compact telescope designed specifically for birdwatchers and demanding nature observers. The model's 85mm front objective is considered by many to be the perfect golden mean: it gathers significantly more light than small travel telescopes, but is still light and agile enough to carry on longer trips.

The telescope comes complete with a high-quality 30-60x zoom eyepiece. Whether you're spotting a white-tailed eagle from the opposite shore or identifying waders in an autumn mudflat, the Gavia brings even the most distant details sharp and right before your eyes.

• A combination of the brightness of an 85mm front lens and portability (weight approx. 1700g)
• The package includes a versatile 30-60x magnification zoom eyepiece
• HD lens system ensures a bright, high-contrast and natural image
• Exceptionally short 3.3m close focus
• Fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled, protected with LotuTec coating

Light to carry, effective to observe

Weight is often a critical factor when purchasing a telescope. The magnesium body of the Gavia 85 telescope is compressed into a very compact shape, and the entire device with eyepieces weighs only about 1.7 kilograms and is less than 40 centimeters long. This means that you can carry it with you on a trip, so it won't be left gathering dust in a closet. The large 85 mm front lens ensures that the image remains bright and colors stand out clearly even in challenging lighting conditions, such as on a cloudy day or at sunset.

HD optics and weather resistance

The Zeiss HD (High Definition) lens system minimizes chromatic aberrations and provides exceptionally sharp images throughout the entire magnification range. The lenses feature Zeiss' renowned LotuTec coating, which acts like a lotus leaf: water drips and runs off the lenses, and dirt or fingerprints are easy to wipe off.

The body is naturally completely waterproof and nitrogen-filled, so internal fogging does not occur even during sudden temperature changes.

Fast focus and unique close-up viewing

The Gavia's focus ring is positioned in the center of the body and is exceptionally large, making focusing fast and very smooth, even when wearing gloves.

One of the most unique features of the telescope is its 3.3 meter close focus, which is truly rare for an 85 mm tube. This allows you to seamlessly transition from tracking distant birds to marveling at butterflies, dragonflies, or other small details right up close.

Ready for shooting - Digiscoping

The Zeiss Gavia is a very popular choice for digiscoping, or taking photos through a telescope. Zeiss offers separate adapters that allow you to easily attach your smartphone directly to the eyepiece, allowing you to quickly capture, for example, species identification images and share them with others.

The telescope's tripod collar can be rotated, allowing you to always adjust the viewing angle to the optimal level, even on uneven terrain.
