Long description
Sometimes a few details make an observation memorable: a wing pattern, an animal’s posture or the outline of a boat offshore. The KITE APC 16X42 WP provides powerful magnification to explore those features, with image stabilisation that reduces shake caused by hand movements.
The KT 2.0 system works with the KDGS-1 mechanism to deliver a calmer view, making distant subjects easier to examine. The 42 mm objectives keep the binoculars easy to carry, while central focusing lets you adjust sharpness quickly.
When the binoculars hang from your neck, the APC function automatically places the stabilisation electronics in standby. Raising them to observe activates the system again. Two AA batteries provide power, with a separate compartment for a spare pair. IPX7 waterproofing and nitrogen filling protect against water and internal fogging.
