New Flip-Up and Fold-Flat Pro Lens Covers from ZEISS
ZEISS is adding a new product line for their riflescopes for 2023 with the introduction of new Flip-Up and Fold-Flat Pro Lens Covers. These new proprietary lens covers will retail for about $90 per set and should start showing up online and in stores sometime in Q2 of 2023. Some cool features ZEISS will be adding to their lens covers to set them apart from other manufacturers is the inclusion of an integrated spare battery containment system, and an on-board Torx wrench containment system which should prove to be invaluable at the range for minor adjustments or when that illumination battery inevitably dies just after you’ve set off on a range trip.

New Flip-Up and Fold-Flat Pro Lens Covers from ZEISS
Our all-new flip-up lens covers are manufactured with a robust stay-secure dual-clamping system and provides OEM fitment for current ZEISS riflescopes; they also offer a few extra unique features as well,” said Kyle Brown – Director of Marketing/Product for Carl ZEISS SBE, LLC. “These lens covers remain open and secured in place when in the folded-flat, shooter-ready position – even under heavy recoil. They offer great protection from the environmental elements and will help keep those valuable lenses from getting scratched. The benefit is simple: clean and scratch-free optics at-the-ready. And clean optics will help you deliver precise and accurate hits on target.”
Developed and designed with purpose and functionality.
ZEISS will offer a total of nine unique sizes, each providing an excellent OEM fit for each ZEISS riflescope. All are manufactured in the USA with Nylon 11 material to resist harsh UV light and maintain proper fitment – even with extreme shifts in temperature – and reduce weight. Each lens cover utilizes dual clamps with stainless steel hardware and springs to ensure long-term fit and serviceability. Both ocular and objective lens covers provide a fold-flat securing system which allows for the flip-up cap to be held in the shooter-ready position parallel with the scope’s main tube, and then remain there, secure during recoil.
The new ZEISS Flip-Up and Fold-Flat Pro Lens Covers will be sold at retail for $34.99 for the ocular lens covers and $49.99 for the (typically) larger objective lens covers. The Lens covers are set to be available from authorized ZEISS retailers in North America starting in late April 2023 for ZEISS riflescope models including the Conquest V4, V6, V8, LRP S3, and LRP S5.

They look pretty good, but I wonder how secure the battery is. I would worry about having a loose battery rubbing all over the lens of my expensive scope if the rifle gets jarred a little.
Puts tightening and loosening retention screws on lens cover bell housing for different sized objective lense.
Brilliant. I wish some other companies would do this too instead of having charts and calipers and returning and buying scope lens covers 4 different times.
