I dropped my Zeiss Conquest HDX 8×32 binoculars near a waterfall! Did they hold up?

January 17, 2025 by Piergiovanni Salimbeni

With this video, I'm kicking off a series of "extreme tests" that I'll be conducting sometime in 2025 to verify the true robustness of these binoculars. Thanks to Zeiss's collaboration, I was able to immerse a pair of the new Conquest HDX 32 binoculars for half an hour in the icy, flowing water of a well-known waterfall in my area. Did the Zeiss Conquest HDX hold up? All you have to do is watch this video in 4K. Enjoy!
