Comfort Without Compromise

Say goodbye to arm fatigue during long observations with the RelaxView Carbon Fiber Stick. This lightweight, handheld support keeps your arms comfortably close to your body, providing steady, controlled viewing for hours without strain. Also compatible with APC 50 binoculars, or any other device that has a 1/4″ thread on the bottom.

TELESCOPE POWER IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

KDGS-TTK is the beating heart of the APC 60 ED, an advanced active stabilization system adapted from KITE’s renowned binocular technology (Kite Dynamic Gymbal system (link) ). This intelligent gimbal mechanism continuously analyzes and corrects movement in real-time, delivering rock-solid, tripod-like stability even at high magnifications. The result is unmatched clarity and precision in a fully handheld design, giving you the freedom to explore without limits.

“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 DĂ©couvertes” the store where I bought them

“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.
