Kite 12x42 APC Stabilized Binoculars
Description
STABILIZATION AS NEVER SEEN BEFORE
The innovative APC 42 redefines your experience in nature observation. Just as light and just as bright as conventional 42mm 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 winds, Observe as long as you like. See details as if you are watching a film. Start watching while you are still out of breath from that long walk, and enjoy highest magnifications without the slightest image vibration. But most important of all… Let yourself be amazed by the things you see, that are invisible with even the best standard binoculars.
Features:
Spare Batteries Onboard:
The optic runs up to 60 hours on two AA batteries, and has a second battery box onboard for use when the first set is depleted.
Angle Power Control & Auto Shutoff:
The KITE APC (angle power control) system puts the stabilizing electronics in sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck), and automatically activates the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase in battery life and usage comfort. Regardless of its position, after 90 minutes the instrument will automatically switch off for energy saving.
2° Correction:
The stabilization capacity of the APC 42 goes beyond the suppression of image vibrations caused by wind or hand trembling, allowing stable viewing from driving vehicles, boats, aircraft, and other unstable platforms.
Waterproof & Nitrogen Purged:
The APC 42 is IPX7-rated waterproof, able to withstand showers or immersion to 3.3' for 30 minutes. The system is nitrogen gas filled to prevent internal fogging.
Weight: 25.4 oz with both battery sets!
