Kite Optics Bino APC Stabilized 16x42 (81227)

The Kite Optics Bino APC Stabilized 16x42 binoculars deliver an advanced level of image stabilization, allowing users to enjoy high magnification views without image shake—even in strong winds, after physical activity, or from moving vehicles and boats. Lightweight and as bright as conventional 42 mm roof prism binoculars, these stabilized binoculars bring out details invisible through standard optics, making every observation more immersive. The military-grade stabilization system features a 2° correction angle, which is two to three times greater than most consumer models, ensuring a steady view in the toughest conditions.

These binoculars use the intelligent KITE APC (Angle Power Control) system, which automatically places the device in sleep mode when not in use and instantly reactivates when you start observing. The main battery box powers the device for up to 60 hours on two AA batteries, with an additional battery box for spares, extending total battery life to 120 hours. After 90 minutes in any position, the binoculars shut off automatically to conserve energy. The APC 42 model is also fully waterproof to IPX7 and filled with nitrogen gas to prevent fogging, making them reliable in any environment.
