The best early Black Friday Zeiss binoculars deals have been spotted and rounded up in our handy guide below.
This year, Black Friday falls on November 29 and our guide to the best Zeiss binoculars deals ahead of the annual sales event has the biggest discounts sourced exclusively from reputable retailers. This page is updated year-round and that includes during Black Friday. We try to include something suitable for everyone, regardless of intended use, budget and experience. If you don't find what you're looking for though, our guides to the best binoculars, binoculars deals and best binoculars for kids will point you in the right direction.
When a manufacturer makes premium products for as long as Zeiss has, their models can cost a premium too, unfortunately. Zeiss binoculars are dependable for reliability as well as quality and their origins date back to 1846 in Southern Germany where they started off making microscopes. We have, however, included some of our favorites and displayed them with their lowest available price where discounts aren't on offer.
Zeiss isn't the only maker of high-end binoculars, though. If you're interested in other quality manufacturers ahead of Black Friday, it could be worth scrolling through our guides to Bushnell binoculars deals, Vortex binoculars deals and Nikon binoculars deals. However, for the best early Black Friday Zeiss binoculars deals, read on below.
Best Zeiss Binoculars Deals December 2024
We've struggled to find many great Zeiss binoculars deals this month so in this section, we've included the discounts we've previously found, but have since expired. We've crossed them out but if you keep scrolling past this section, you'll find our favorite Zeiss models with their lowest price.
Zeiss Victory HT
"Made for the Twilight Hours" goes the marketing line, and with a light-gobbling objective of 54mm, we can imagine they are. As good for spotting crepuscular wildlife as they are at stargazing, the Victory HT binoculars use Schott high transmission glass for up to 95% light transmission. A multi-layer coating and an Abbe-König prism also contribute to image quality and lightness.
This binocular is sturdy as it's built robustly and the ergonomics are high. However, despite the quality of the build, all the magnesium in the world can't stop these binoculars from edging around the 1kg mark, which makes them quite heavy so a tripod mount - which is sold separately - wouldn't go amiss here.
A 10x54 pair is also available.
Zeiss Victory SF
Impressively light, the Victory SF range is more of a general-purpose set of binoculars than dedicated stargazing ones. This doesn't stop them being useful, of course, and the 42mm objectives should do a decent job of gathering all that lovely starlight and funneling it to your eyes.
An ultra-fluoride lens system, along with Zeiss' multi-coatings, ensures 92% light transmission and an innovative glass layout shifts the center of gravity toward the eyepieces, so they rest more easily against your eyes. The Zeiss tripod mount is universal, so it's possible to take the weight of these with a tripod, but their lightweight yet robust construction means they'll be less trouble to hold than other pairs.
Also available in 8x32, 10x32, and 10x42 varieties, the Victory SF binoculars are easy to carry and quick to focus, perfect for a day, and night, in the outdoors.
Zeiss Terra ED
These binoculars are lighter and more compact than other Zeiss models as they're the manufacturer's attempt at pocket binoculars. But don't let the size (or lack of) fool you as you still get the usual quality of build, image and robust construction you've come to expect.
Inside, you'll find Schott ED glass with multi-coatings, and a choice of gray or green on the outside. The casing is reinforced with fiberglass and waterproof, while hydrophobic coatings on the lenses mean they’ll shed water too.
The 8x42 formula is a common general-purpose one, but when your binoculars are this light there should be no problem holding them up to the night sky. A tripod mount is, of course, available. The Terra EDs are also available in 10x42, 8x32, 10x32 and even smaller Pocket 8x25 and 10x25.
Zeiss Conquest HD
Larger and heavier than many, but with enormous 56mm objectives, a pair of these on a tripod would make for an enviable stargazing setup.
Built around Zeiss' HD lens system, with multi-coatings and waterproofing, you get 90% light transmission and extra-close focusing down to four meters (of little interest to astronomers but a selling point for those looking for a multipurpose pair).
The body is aluminum, the color reproduction is impressively neutral, and the focusing wheel is close to the eyepieces, for extra simple adjustment. The Zeiss Conquest binoculars are also available as 10x56, 15x56, 8x42, 10x42, 8x32 and 10x32 pairs.
