Product Information
Overview
Kite Optics APC Image Stabilized Binoculars feature the Kite APC system, which puts the stabilizing electronics in sleep mode when the instrument is in rest (hanging from the neck) and automatically activates when you start observing again, resulting in a significant increase in battery life. The 2° correction angle eliminates image vibration for steady viewing. Ideal for marine applications, boating, sporting, defense, birdwatching, astronomy, and other sectors, they bring the smallest detail, far or near, into sharp focus.
Features
Kite APC & Auto Shutoff
The Kite APC system puts the stabilizing electronics in sleep mode when the instrument is at rest (hanging from the neck) and automatically activates when you start observing again, resulting in a significant increase in battery life.
Image Stabilization
The Kite APC offers 2-3° angle correction with no lag or wave effect, for a stable image even from unstable or moving surfaces
Waterproof & Fogproof
The APC is IPX7-rated waterproof, able to withstand showers or immersion to 3.3' for 30 minutes. The system is nitrogen gas-filled to prevent internal fogging.
Spare Batteries Onboard
The optic runs up to 60 hours on two AA batteries and has a second battery box onboard when the first set is depleted.
