The Innovative APC 42 Redefines Your Experience
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.
FULL SEASON ON 1 CHARGE
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.
APC POWER SAVING MODE
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.
USB-C AND AA VERSIONS
APC 50 offers two flexible options, one with replaceable AA batteries and another with an integrated Li-ion battery rechargeable via USB-C. The choice is yours.
