Zeiss 8x20 Victory Compact T*
For those times when every gram counts, then compact binoculars are the answer.
Zeiss 8x20 T Victory Compacts provide an astonishingly bright, clear image despite being about the same weight as a mobile phone. I have used them under extremely testing conditions, from the Arctic to tropical jungles, and, despite their diminutive size, they have the build quality you would expect from such a leading brand. Whilst I was filming Meerkats in the Kalahari Desert, having a top quality pair of binoculars that could fit into my shirt pocket was a real plus; it made it so much easier to carry all my film kit whislt following them on foot, and still have the facility to check the horizon for rhino or lion.
They are also great for use at any event where you want a better view, but also want to remain discreet. Mine come with me to the theatre, ballet or any sporting event. Pretty handy at the school play too! They fold neatly against themselves and come with a tidy pouch that make it simple to pop them in your pocket without risking damage to the coated lenses.
Small in size, big in performance.
