About this product

APC Stabilized 60 ED
No Tripod Total Freedom

The world’s first hand-held image stabilized spotting scope

Discover the next evolution in field optics with the Kite APC 60 ED – the world’s first image-stabilised spotting scope. Weighing just over 1 kg, this ultra-compact powerhouse features a 17–35× magnification range and a crystal-clear 60 mm ED lens system, delivering exceptional detail and colour fidelity even at long distances. But the real game-changer is Kite’s APC image-stabilisation technology, which actively counteracts hand and wind-induced movement—giving you a rock-steady view, even when glassing freehand or on a lightweight tripod. Whether you're a birder, digiscoper, or outdoor enthusiast seeking pinpoint accuracy in a portable form, the APC 60 ED redefines what’s possible in a scope. Waterproof, rugged, and ready for the wild—this is stability without compromise.

Precision Hand-Held

Experience the world like never before with the APC 60 ED the world’s first handheld stabilized spotting scope. Enjoy rock-steady views with up to 35x magnification all without the need for a tripod. Designed for unmatched clarity and effortless mobility the APC 60 lets you explore nature with extraordinary precision and freedom.

Modular Flexibility

The APC 60 ED and KSP 80 HD are designed with a shared vision of versatility. Both models use the same interchangeable eyepiece allowing you to effortlessly switch between them. Already own a KSP 80 HD with an eyepiece and looking for a lightweight stabilized companion for your travels? Simply purchase the APC 60 ED body only—no need to invest in an additional eyepiece. Of course the flexibility works both ways: if you start with the APC 60 ED you can easily expand to the KSP 80 HD by using the same eyepiece. This modular design gives you the freedom to adapt your gear to any adventure without unnecessary extra costs.

Power in Your Hands

Featuring 17–35x magnification and premium ED optics the APC 60 delivers breathtaking wide-angle views with exceptional clarity. Its oversized focus and power wheels ensure smooth intuitive control—all packed into a sleek lightweight design of just 1100g.
