Zeiss Conquest Apia Spotting Scope

The 65mm objective lens combined with Zeiss's high-contrast HD optics provides excellent light transmission for dawn and dusk glassing. While it won't match the light-gathering capability of an 85mm scope, it offers a significant advantage over standard binoculars, especially at the lower 20x magnification setting.

The integrated Arca-Swiss foot allows you to attach the scope directly to any Arca-Swiss compatible tripod head without needing an additional quick-release plate. If your tripod uses a different mounting system, you will simply need to attach a standard plate to the scope's base.

LotuTec is a hydrophobic lens coating that causes water to bead up and roll off the glass surface instantly. It is highly effective for maintaining a clear view during rain or snow, and it also makes the lens significantly easier to clean by repelling dust and fingerprints.

At 11.7 inches long and weighing just under 3 pounds, this scope is specifically designed for mobile hunters who need to balance optical performance with pack weight. It is significantly more portable than full-sized 85mm or 95mm spotting scopes, making it an ideal choice for long treks where every ounce counts.

The throw lever attaches to the zoom ring, allowing you to adjust magnification quickly and smoothly with just one finger. This is particularly useful when you need to track moving game or scan a wide area and then zoom in rapidly for a positive identification without taking your eye off the target.
