STABILIZATION AS NEVER SEEN BEFORE

The innovative APC 42 redefines your experience in nature observation. Just as light and just as bright as conventional 42mm roof prism binoculars, but stable. And not the kind of stability you may have experienced before…  but an entirely new level of stability. Observe in the strongest winds, Observe as long as you like. See details as if you are watching a film. Start watching while you are still out of breath from that long walk, and enjoy highest magnifications without the slightest image vibration. But most important of all… Let yourself be amazed by the things you see, that are invisible with even the best standard binoculars.

The stabilized binoculars are equipped with KITE’s APC system (angle power control). Without having to switch the button, it will put the stabilizing electronics to sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck) , and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase of battery life and comfort of use.

120 HOUR BATTERY LIFE WITH APC POWER SAVING

The APC 42 binocular has 2 battery boxes. Each battery box holds 2 standard AA bateries. One battery box contains 2 functional AA batteries that will run for 60 hours. The other box containes 2 spare AA batteries. After the first 60 hours, simply switch be batteries and continue for another 60 hours.  Intelligent features such as the KITE APC system (angle power control) will put the stabilizing electronics in sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck) , and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase of battery life and usage comfort. And regardless of its position (rest or active), after 90 mintues the instrument will automatically switch off for energy saving.

2° CORRECTION ANGLE

The stabilisation capacity of the APC 42 goes beyond the suppression of image vibrations caused by wind or hand trembling. Its stabilisation capacity is 2x to 3x larger than that of other consumer stabilisers binoculars. APC stabilized binoculars have a millitary grade capacity stabilisation system that allows stable viewing from driving vehicles, boats, aircrafts and other unstable platforms. 

WATERPROOF AND GAS FILLED

The APC 42 is fully waterproof. The optical system and electronics are sealed to result in an IPX 7 waterproof rating. It can handle any kind of rain shower and can even be submerged to 1 meter depth for a maximum of 30 minutes.  The system is nitrogen gas filled, to prevent internal fogging.

Excellent Optics

I am astonished at how much of a difference stabilisation makes, especially for distant subjects. The 12x50 have excellent eye relief, they are light and instinctively easy to use. The narrow FOV is an issue, but once you find your target the view of it is remarkable. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service

Bough the Kite stabilised 16x42 binoculars after having a discussion with James on the options, James really knows his stuff and the advice was very helpful. Delivery was fast and on time, price was the cheapest I could find too, I’m very happy with my purchase.

Easy to Handle

They fit the hand nicely and easy to hold. Field of view is a little narrow but doesn't cause much of a problem. The image is clear, crisp and bright. They are not too heavy. I have a pair of Canon 8*42 which are very heavy and bulky. These Kite's binoculars are a great improvement.

The binoculars are excellent and do all that is claimed for them. The free gift works well and will be appreciated if you are using binoculars outdoors for any length of time.
