KITE APC 22X50 ED AA — Image-stabilised binoculars

Short description

In the distance, every detail invites a closer look. The KITE APC 22X50 ED AA combines 22× magnification, 50 mm ED optics and KT 3.0 image stabilisation to examine distant subjects handheld. IPX7 waterproofing, replaceable AA batteries and up to 38 hours of battery life support your outdoor observations.

Long description

A cliff may hide a barely visible bird; a distant hillside may reveal a silhouette you want to identify. The KITE APC 22X50 ED AA gives these subjects greater presence through its 22× magnification. Image stabilisation reduces shake caused by hand movements, making fine details easier to examine.

For astronomy, these binoculars also invite you to explore lunar features, star fields and some bright star clusters. Stabilisation makes handheld viewing more comfortable, while mounting them on a tripod supports longer observations of the night sky.

The 50 mm ED objectives limit colour fringing around high-contrast edges and support natural colour reproduction. Stated light transmission reaches 85%, while the 61° apparent field of view provides an open impression at this high magnification.

In the field, AA batteries are straightforward to replace. The APC function automatically adjusts standby according to the binoculars’ orientation, conserving energy between observations. IPX7 waterproofing and nitrogen filling complete the equipment for long-distance viewing.
