Innovative APC 42 – Redefine Your Experience
Introducing the KITE OPTICS APC 42, an iconic model that sparked a revolution in image-stabilized binoculars. It's the first of its kind in the popular 42mm configuration, combining the compactness and lightness typical of traditional roof prism binoculars. With KITE's APC mode, the device runs smoothly all year on a single set of AA batteries. With its exceptional handling, these binoculars will transport you to new, previously unreachable dimensions of observation.
Intuitive Precision
Designed with your comfort in mind, ensuring your hands are always in the right place. The focus wheel is within fingertip reach, allowing for quick focus adjustment on your observation target. Experience precise intuition like never before.
KT 2.0 Processor and Software
Enjoy the highest precision with KDGS, now supported by the second generation KT 2.0 software with advanced algorithms. This results in clearer images and even smoother panning and scanning, elevating your observation to a higher level.
KDGS-1
The revolutionary and ultra-compact KDGS-1 suspension, equipped with second-generation accelerometers, ensures unparalleled precision in capturing roof prism movements.
All Season on a Single Rechargeable Battery
Just replace the batteries once, or maybe a few times a year. Equipped with a chamber for 2 active AA batteries and 2 spares, it provides at least 120 hours of continuous observation. Enjoy uninterrupted viewing without worrying about battery replacement.
APC Power Saving Mode
No need to press buttons or worry about remembering to turn off the device. With our APC mode, the device automatically goes into sleep mode when not in active use, and wakes up instantly when needed, without pressing any buttons. Enjoy seamless, hassle-free observation at your fingertips.
Built to Last
Designed to withstand the relentless forces of the sea and the unyielding moisture of tropical forests. With an IPX7 waterproof rating, the binoculars are submersible up to 1 meter and filled with nitrogen gas.
Enhanced Protection
The APC 42 allows for the addition of silicone covers that provide unmatched device protection, as well as the option to mount lens protectors. This advanced protection ensures your binoculars remain in pristine condition, even in harsh conditions. Protect your investment in the best way possible.
