Kite | 10x30 APC STABILIZED | Concept-Terrain

The stabilized KITE 10x30 and 12x30 APC binoculars provide you with the latest technology in binocular image stabilization. 

There are other stabilized binoculars on the market, but none of them can compare to the KITE. The most important difference is the correction angle. Most stabilized binoculars offer a correction angle of 0.5 ° to 1 °, which corresponds to a correction of 0.8 to 1.7 meters at a distance of 100 meters. A hand tremor, a windy day, or breathlessness after a hike can easily lead to image instability exceeding these values. 

The stabilized KITE APC binoculars feature new technology that allows the instrument to correct image stability by 3 °, which is 5.3 meters at a distance of 100 meters or 53 meters at 1,000 meters. That’s six times more than other stabilized binoculars. This will provide perfectly stable images not only from a trembling hand but also aboard a car or boat. 

This very compact and lightweight instrument also features smart functionalities. The electronics are powered by two AA batteries, the most common battery size in the world, and ensure the instrument operates for 36 hours. To avoid losing a second of those 36 hours, the KITE APC binoculars are equipped with sensors that automatically put the device in standby mode when you are not observing. The APC (Angle Power Control) function detects positioning. When the instrument is in a vertical position, hanging around your neck or standing on a surface, it goes into standby mode. At the first movement, stabilization resumes. No button switching, no accidental battery drain. A timer function ensures that it completely turns off after 90 minutes, regardless of the position. And a low battery indicator will let you know when new batteries are needed. 

The stabilized APC is ergonomic thanks to a 4 cm long focusing wheel that can be easily operated with three fingers. 

Although the stabilized APC looks different, it is as easy to use as any standard pair of binoculars. 

The essence of this instrument lies, of course, in its stabilization capability. Optically, it is at the same performance level as the KITE PETREL. However, in all situations of instability, whether due to shaking, breathlessness, windy conditions, or aboard a vehicle, etc. … These binoculars outperform the best binoculars in the world, and you will perceive images and details that are invisible with any standard binoculars. Try it, you will see!

The stabilized binoculars are equipped with the KITE APC (Angular Power Control) system. Without needing to operate the on/off switch, this system puts the electronics into standby mode when the binoculars are in any resting position (hanging around the neck) and automatically reactivates when you resume observations. This results in remarkable battery savings and contributes to user comfort.

With its two AA batteries, the stabilization mechanism can be active for up to 36 hours. 
The APC STABILIZED binoculars can also be perfectly used without activating the stabilization mechanism.   

Regardless of its position (at rest or active), after 90 minutes, the instrument will automatically turn off to save energy.
