NEXT LEVEL OBSERVATION

The latest technology in binocular image stabilisation.

The innovative APC 42 redefines your experience

Introducing the KITE OPTICS APC 42, the famous model that sparked the revolution in image-stabilized binoculars. It’s the first of its kind in the immensely popular 42mm configuration, that offers compactness and lightness comparable to traditional roof prism binoculars. Thanks to KITE’s APC mode, it operates smoothly for up to a full year on just a set of AA batteries. With its exceptional handling, this binocular transports you to new, unprecedented dimensions of observation.

full season on 1 charge

You will only need to replace these batteries once, or perhaps a few times per year. Equipped with a chamber for 2 active AA batteries and 2 spare AA batteries, you have onboard power for at least 120 hours of continuous observation. Enjoy uninterrupted viewing without any worry of battery change.

customer reviews

“Small and light”

Very practical and light, very good stability and brightness, recommended for 3 people, very good after-sales service: problem following an accidental fall, replaced free of charge through “Nature et Découvertes” the store where I bought them

Jean Luc

“compact 8x25”

Very good binoculars, recommended by 3 friends who are very happy with them. Very good brightness, practical to always have with you given their compact size.
