Introducing the KITE OPTICS APC 42, the famous model that sparked the revolution in image-stabilized binoculars. It’s the first of its kind in the immensely popular 42mm configuration, that offers compactness and lightness comparable to traditional roof prism binoculars. Thanks to KITE’s APC mode, it operates smoothly for up to a full year on just a set of AA batteries. With its exceptional handling, this binocular transports you to new, unprecedented dimensions of observation.
The device is meticulously designed for your comfort, ensuring your hands are always in the right place. The focusing wheel rests at your fingertips, enabling lightning-fast focus on your observation target. Experience intuitive precision like never before.
Experience the utmost precision from the KDGS, now driven by second-generation KT2.0 software featuring advanced algorithms. This ensures a quieter image and even smoother performance during panning and scanning, taking your observation to the next level.
The groundbreaking and ultra compact KDGS-1 suspension, equipped with second-generation accelerometers, delivers unparalleled precision in capturing the motion of the roof prisms.
You will only need to replace these batteries once, or perhaps a few times per year. Equipped with a chamber for 2 active AA batteries and 2 spare AA batteries, you have onboard power for at least 120 hours of continuous observation. Enjoy uninterrupted viewing without any worry of battery change.
No need for buttons or worries. With our APC mode, your device seamlessly transitions into sleep mode when you’re not actively observing and springs to life when you need it, all without pressing a single button. Enjoy uninterrupted, hassle-free viewing at your fingertips.
Built to endure the relentless forces of the sea and the unyielding humidity of the rainforest. Boasting an IPX 7 waterproof rating, it’s submersible to a depth of 1 meter and nitrogen gas filled.
With the APC 42, you have the option to equip it with silicone casings that provide unparalleled protection for your device, while also allowing for the attachment of lens protectors. This advanced safeguarding ensures your binoculars remain in pristine condition, even in rugged environments. Shield your investment with the best.
