Long description

Finding a subject is only the beginning. Taking time to examine its features makes the observation more rewarding. The KITE APC 16X42 ED AAA pairs powerful magnification with image stabilisation that reduces shake caused by hand movements. Feather patterns, landscape contours and distant animals become easier to study handheld.

The 42 mm ED objectives limit colour fringing and support natural colour reproduction. A 66.5° apparent field of view gives the subject room within its surroundings, while a close-focus distance of 2.9 m also lets you explore nearby details.

For longer outings, power comes from the supplied rechargeable cells or compatible AAA batteries. A separate compartment holds spares. The APC function conserves energy between observations, while IPX7 waterproofing and nitrogen filling complete the equipment for outdoor use.
