Unlimited possibilities

Whatever you might like to do with your ZEISS DiaScope spotting scope, we have the accessory for you. Camera adapters turn a Victory DiaScope spotting scope into a camera lens or super tel-extender, enabling you to capture the events you observe. The adapter that lets you use our eyepieces in your astronomy scope is just as clever. And for stability, we have two tripod choices. The range of accessories is varied and practical, and all the products have been developed to enhance your experiences of the natural world.

Sturdy stand for shake-free observation

The ZEISS carbon fiber or aluminum tripods help you to enjoy maximum stability with optimum flexibility while observing nature. Whether you prefer to sit or stand, simply make yourself comfortable and set the tripod to your preferred height. The new tripod head has a particularly smooth pivoting motion and a precise and secure clamp for holding your spotting scope or binoculars. The quick-change plate means you can quickly switch the different optical devices on your tripod: spotting scopes, binoculars or camera. The tripods are available in very lightweight stable carbon fiber or tried and tested aluminum.

Protected yet always ready for use

The new carrying case for the Victory DiaScopes and the Victory PhotoScope was designed for the reliable protection, optimum carrying comfort and, above all, quick operational readiness. In outdoor use and in the most adverse weather conditions, the case offers additional protection from rain and whatever else might be happening. Both the eyepiece and lens covers were designed to ensure that they can be securely fastened to the case during your field observation. This prevents them from flapping about in the wind or getting lost. The clever carrying system means that the spotting scope can be simply hung over your shoulder on longer trips. The carrying cases have been specially designed for the Victory DiaScope models and the Victory PhotoScope.

Immortalise the moment

Record your best observations on video and in photographs. The Quick-Camera Adaptor II helps you to change quickly and repeatedly between observing and filming or photographing. The adaptor allows you to swing the camera to the side while you are observing. When you want to capture a moment on video or in a photograph, simply swivel the camera round in front of the eyepiece and start filming. With its sturdy construction the Quick-Camera Adaptor II is also perfectly suited for the heaviest compact video and digital cameras, enabling you to enjoy shake-free filming.

Designed for photography: the photo adaptor

Turn your ZEISS spotting scope into a super telephoto lens with a focal length of up to 1,000 mm at a f12. Take advantage of the award winning ZEISS optics and combine this with the DSLR camera of your choice. With the ZEISS photo adaptor and a conventional, matching T2 ring you can connect any digital SLR camera to the ZEISS Victory DiaScopes. This combination is particularly successful for travelling or on long walks, where you would not carry a conventional lens of anything approaching this magnification. It is even possible to switch between the photo adaptor, which weighs just a few ounces, and the ZEISS eyepiece of your choice, so you can still make full use of your spotting scope for nature observations.

Relax and enjoy a bit of star-gazing

Cast your gaze up to the sky to see the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter or the beauty of Venus. With the adaptor for the 1 ¼”Astro eyepieces you can use all the ZEISS Victory DiaScopes for nocturnal stargazing. It is the perfect way to relax in the evening after a day spent observing nature. This coupling ring allows conventional 1 ¼”Astro eyepieces to be mounted on any Victory DiaScope model. (Not all eyepieces will reach infinity focus.)

Astro adaptor

Take advantage of the wide range of eyepieces from Carl Zeiss for your stargazing. Amateur astronomers can benefit from innovations such as the low light T* multi-layer coating or the FL-concept. The Astro adaptor can be used to connect the eyepieces of the spotting scope to an astronomical telescope. The Astro adaptor is available with either a 1 ¼" or a 2" connector.
