Kite APC 30 II 14x30 II Binoculars (SKU: K280727 / 139231)

The KITE Optics APC Stabilized 14×30 II is a compact pair of image-stabilised binoculars designed for detailed handheld observation. 14× magnification and 30 mm objectives make it suitable for viewing distant birds, wildlife, coastlines and open landscapes. Image stabilisation reduces the shake that makes fine details harder to distinguish at high magnification.

Image stability is provided by the KDGS-1 system controlled by the KT 2.0 processor. APC (Angle Power Control) technology manages stabilisation according to the position of the binoculars: it reduces power consumption while they are being carried and restores operation when they are raised for observation. AAA batteries provide a runtime of up to 60 hours.

The optical system offers a field of view of 80 m at 1000 m (4.6°) and 92% light transmission. A minimum focusing distance of 2.3 m also allows you to view subjects closer to the observer. Adjustable twist-up eyecups, an interpupillary distance of 56–72 mm and ±3 dpt dioptre adjustment allow the binoculars to be tailored to the user.

IPX7 waterproofing and gas filling equip the binoculars for use in the field. This model is made in Japan and covered by a 30-year manufacturer's warranty that also includes the electronics, subject to KITE Optics' warranty terms.
