Kite Optics 18x50 APC Stabilized ED Li-ion Binoculars
Experience long-range viewing without compromise. The Kite Optics 18x50 APC Stabilized ED Li-ion Binoculars combine powerful 18x magnification with advanced stabilisation technology, delivering sharp, steady images where traditional binoculars fall short. Whether you're observing wildlife, surveying landscapes, or tracking movement at extreme distances, these binoculars provide unrivalled clarity and control in a compact, handheld format.
Bright, Sharp Images
With large 50mm objective lenses and extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, these binoculars offer impressive brightness and contrast, even during dusk or dawn. Colour fringing is minimised, and fine detail remains clear and natural.
Advanced Stabilisation System
Inside the APC 50 is a precision KDGS-2 gimbal prism system controlled by intelligent software and accelerometers. This real-time monitoring and adjustment system keeps all components in sync, delivering a calm, clear image at all times.
Rechargeable Performance
Equipped with an integrated USB-C rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the APC 50 offers up to 30 hours of continuous use on a single charge. There's no need for disposable batteries, reducing waste and long-term cost.
Smart Power Management
The Angle Power Control (APC) system enhances comfort and battery life by automatically deactivating stabilisation when the binoculars are at rest, such as hanging around your neck. If left unused, the system shuts down fully after 90 minutes to conserve power.
Built for the Outdoors
These binoculars are waterproof to IPX7 standard, meaning they can withstand rain or submersion in 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes. They are also nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging, making them suitable for all-weather use.
Comfort and Durability
With 15.5mm of eye relief and an interpupillary distance range of 57–76mm, the APC 50 is adaptable and comfortable for a variety of users. At 1015g, it remains well balanced for handheld use, and features like a tripod thread and handstrap add flexibility.
