Kite Optics Bino APC Stabilized 12x42 (81226)

The Kite Optics Bino APC Stabilized 12x42 binoculars introduce a new standard in stable, high-magnification observation for nature enthusiasts and professionals. These binoculars combine the bright, lightweight design of conventional 42 mm roof prism optics with a highly advanced stabilization system, enabling steady views even in strong winds or after physical exertion. With the APC (Angle Power Control) system, these binoculars automatically enter sleep mode when not in use and instantly reactivate when you start observing, making operation seamless and saving battery power. The APC 42 offers unmatched stability, allowing you to observe from moving vehicles, boats, or even aircraft with a correction angle of up to 2°, far beyond typical consumer models.

With two battery boxes, the system provides up to 120 hours of total battery life using four AA batteries (two for operation and two as spares). These binoculars are waterproof to IPX7 standards, nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging, and designed for challenging environments. Automatic shutoff after 90 minutes further conserves energy, while the optics can also be used perfectly well without stabilization if needed.
