If you’re looking at this scope, you want advanced tech in the field—not gimmicks. The DNT ZULUS HD ZHD312R V2 delivers a digital night vision experience with impressive clarity, precise ranging, and ballistic support built in. Perfect when you are moving between regular day, night hunts or low‑light conditions and want just one scope to do it all.
The ZULUS HD V2 is a cutting-edge 3–12x digital night vision scope featuring Sony’s STARVIS 2 sensor, a 60Hz Micro-OLED display, and integrated laser rangefinder with ballistic calculator for pinpoint accuracy.
With a peak brightness of 1800 nits, upgraded 21700 battery for 10-hour runtime, and 32GB internal memory, it excels day or night. Built tough with IP67 waterproofing and 800G recoil resistance, it’s ready for any shooting scenario, from close woodland stalking to long-range targeting.
The ZULUS HD ZHD312R V2 from DNT Optics is the definitive upgrade to the popular V1 model, bringing cutting-edge digital clarity, intelligent shooting features, and extended runtime to the field. Whether under the midday sun or total darkness, this advanced digital optic ensures your target remains sharp and defined.
At the heart of the V2 lies Sony’s STARVIS 2 sensor, paired with ED glass optics and a 60Hz Micro-OLED display, delivering a crystal-clear 1920x1080 image in both day and night conditions.
With a brightness peak of 1800 nits, significantly brighter than the previous generation, the display remains visible in glaring sunlight or pitch-black environments. Five brightness levels allow quick adaptation to changing light.
Precision matters. The built-in laser rangefinder, accurate from 5 to 1,100 yards, combines seamlessly with a smart ballistic calculator, providing real-time, on-screen drop compensation tailored to your range and rifle. Adjust your ballistic profiles directly on the device or fine-tune via the DNT App.
The upgraded 21700 battery offers up to 10 hours of runtime, ensuring lasting performance during extended hunts.
Meanwhile, enhanced 65mm eye relief and a new magnification lever ensure a more natural, comfortable shooting posture and faster, glove-friendly adjustments in the field.
Designed to withstand harsh conditions, the ZULUS V2 is IP67 waterproof, shockproof up to 800Gs, and ready for action in temperatures from -20°C to 50°C. It performs effortlessly across all shooting environments, whether you're navigating tight woodland trails or glassing long-range targets at dawn.
Every moment is worth capturing. The integrated video recorder, paired with a noise-reducing microphone, ensures crisp audio-visual capture.
Choose between manual, loop, or Auto RAV (Recoil Activated Video) to suit your preference. Footage is saved instantly to the robust 32GB internal memory, eliminating the need for fragile SD cards.
Complete with a detachable IR illuminator that lets you interchange between 850nm (included) or 940nm (available separately) wavelengths.
The ZULUS HD V2 adapts to your preferred stealth or range. From its ultra-responsive display to its intuitive handling, every element of this scope is designed with the modern shooter in mind.
The ZULUS HD ZHD312R V2 is more than a digital scope, it's a precision instrument that gives you confidence in every shot, in any light.

Q1: How well does it perform at night?
Exceptionally well — this is a purpose-built digital night vision scope, not just a day scope with a night mode.
With its Sony STARVIS 2 sensor and dedicated IR illuminator, the ZULUS HD delivers a clear, high-contrast image in full darkness, moonlight, or twilight. You'll be able to spot, range, and engage targets in conditions where traditional optics fall short.
Even in total darkness, the built-in IR system provides strong illumination for navigating and identifying targets
Q2: What type of battery arrangement does this scope use, and how long will it last?
It uses a rechargeable 21700 flat‑top batter8 (included). Expect usable time of upto 10 hours (lower IR brightness helps conserve power). USB‑C external power can also extend sessions with power bank support. Or carry a spare 21700 to be extra sure.
Q3: How reliable is the laser rangefinder feature?
It provides real time distance readings upto 1100 yards, accurate enough for adjusting your aim in the field. Of course, atmospheric conditions like fog, rain, or IR haze can affect performance, as with any optics.
Q4: Will this scope hold zero and stay rugged?
Yes — built with tough materials and rated for environmental protection to IP67. Design includes secure turrets and mounting options that help maintain zero during transport, recoil, or rough handling.
Q5: Is the ballistic calculator useful? Do I need an app?
The integrated calculator gives instant holdover info once distance is measured. The accompanying app expands capability, lets you configure ballistics for different ammunition or loads, and helps manage profiles effectively.
Q6: What clarity should I expect at high magnification in low light?
You’ll get a clear image, though as with any digital scope, increasing magnification and low ambient light increases noise. The sensor and display are strong, and IR helps—but for ultra‑long night shots you may want stronger IR illuminators or use in near dusk/dawn lighting.
Q7: Can I use this scope in the daytime, or is it just for night vision?
Yes — this is a full digital day/night scope, meaning it performs well in both conditions.
During the day, the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor and high‑resolution OLED display provide a crisp, colour‑accurate image. It works much like a camera viewfinder, so you get zoom, overlays, and reticle options without the need for ambient light.
There’s no risk of daylight damage, unlike traditional night vision tubes — so you can use it for scouting, plinking, or long‑range daytime shooting with all digital features (rangefinding, ballistic calculator, recording, etc.) fully functional.
