Night vision scope DNT Optics Zulus HD 5-20x V2

DNT ZULUS HD V2 5–20× is a compact digital riflescope with day and night vision, designed for hunting, property protection, pest control and sport shooting. It combines a sensitive Full HD sensor, high-quality ED glass optics and modern electronic features in a lightweight and durable body.

During the day it provides a natural colour image, while after dark it can be switched to a black-and-white night mode. This allows it to be used virtually continuously without the need to change the sight according to current light conditions.

Functions and features

The core of the riflescope is a highly sensitive Sony STARVIS 2 sensor with a resolution of 1920×1080 px, which excels especially when working with residual light and near infrared radiation. In combination with ED glass lenses, it provides a clear and detailed image during the day, at dusk and with the use of IR illuminator also in complete darkness. The resulting image is transmitted to a fine Micro-OLED display with a resolution of 1920×1080 px and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which ensures smooth tracking of moving targets.

The magnification range of 5–20× allows quick switching between observing a wider area and precisely aiming at more distant targets. The magnification is changed using a practical mechanical lever that can be easily operated even when wearing gloves or in the dark.

For observation in complete darkness, the riflescope is supplied with a removable IR illuminator with a wavelength of 850 nm. It provides powerful illumination of the target and a high level of detail. If less conspicuous operation is required, the illuminator can be easily replaced with an optional 940 nm version.

The shooter has at their disposal 9 reticle types in 5 different colours, so the display can be adapted to the firearm used, the target and the surrounding conditions. Zeroing is made easier by the One-Shot Zero function, where you only need to fire a single shot, keep the scope on the original aiming point and electronically move the reticle to the point of impact.

For precise aiming you will also appreciate the Picture-in-Picture mode, which displays a magnified section of the target without the shooter losing awareness of the surrounding area. This function is particularly useful when shooting at smaller or more distant targets.

The riflescope allows you to take photos and record videos with sound. Footage in 1800×1080 px resolution is stored in the built‑in 32 GB memory, so there is no need to purchase a memory card. In addition to standard recording, there is also loop recording and the RAV – Recoil Activated Video function, which automatically captures the crucial moment associated with the shot.

Using the integrated Wi-Fi, the scope can be connected to the mobile DNT Optics app. The wireless connection is used to communicate with the device, work with saved recordings and update the firmware. This allows the manufacturer to further adjust or expand available functions via updates.

The compact construction weighs only 482 g, so the riflescope does not unnecessarily increase the weight of the firearm or disturb its balance. The controls are arranged to be easily accessible while shooting. The design with IP67 protection rating is dustproof and withstands short-term immersion in water. The scope is also rated for recoil up to .50 BMG calibre level.

Power is supplied by a replaceable Li-ion 21700 battery, which provides up to 10 hours of operation. In the field, the scope can also be powered from an external source via a USB-C connector. The package includes two batteries and a separate charger.
