About this product

Innovation Redefines 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.

REVOLUTION IS HERE 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.

Full Season on One 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.

 

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.

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 the 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.
