Kite Optics APC 16x42 – VOGELBESCHERMING NEDERLAND EDITION

The Kite Optics APC 16x42 Binoculars – VOGELBESCHERMING NEDERLAND EDITION redefines your nature observation experience. Just as light and just as clear as a conventional 42 mm roof prism binoculars, but stable. And not the kind of stability you may have experienced before, but an entirely new level of stability. Observe in the strongest wind, observe for as long as you like. See details as if you're watching a film. Start looking while you're still out of breath from that long walk, and enjoy the highest magnifications without the slightest tremor in the image. But most importantly: let yourself be surprised by the things you see that remain invisible through even the best standard binoculars.

The stabilised binoculars are equipped with the KITE APC system (angle power control). Without having to operate the on/off switch, this system ensures that the electronics are put into sleep mode when the binoculars are in a resting position (around your neck), and automatically reactivate when you start observing again. This results in enormous battery savings and contributes to ease of use.

The APC 42 binoculars feature two battery compartments. Each compartment holds two standard AA batteries. One compartment contains 2 active AA batteries that last 60 hours. The other compartment holds 2 spare AA batteries. After the first 60 hours, simply swap the batteries over and continue for another 60 hours. Intelligent features such as the KITE APC system put the stabilising electronics into sleep mode when the instrument is in its resting position (hanging around your neck), and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a significant increase in battery life and ease of use. And regardless of position (resting or active), the instrument will automatically switch off after 90 minutes to conserve energy.

The stabilising capability of the APC 42 goes beyond suppressing image vibration caused by wind or hand tremors. Its stabilisation capacity is 2x to 3x greater than that of other consumer binoculars with stabilisers. The stabilised APC binoculars offer military-grade stabilisation capacity, enabling a stable view from moving vehicles, boats, aircraft, and other highly unstable platforms.

The APC 42 is fully waterproof. The optical system and electronics are sealed to achieve IPX 7 waterproofing. It can handle any downpour and can even be submerged to a depth of 1 metre for up to 30 minutes. The system is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging.
