The Innovative APC 42 Redefines Your Experience

Introducing the KITE OPTICS APC 42
The APC 42 is the iconic model that revolutionized image-stabilized binoculars. As the first of its kind in the immensely popular 42mm configuration, it offers compactness and lightness on par with traditional roof prism binoculars. Thanks to KITE’s APC mode, it provides smooth operation for up to a full year on just a set of AA batteries. With exceptional handling and advanced design, this binocular opens up unprecedented dimensions of observation.

Intuitive Precision
Meticulously crafted for comfort, the APC 42 ensures your hands are always in the perfect position. The focusing wheel is conveniently placed at your fingertips, allowing lightning-fast adjustments for optimal clarity. Experience precision like never before.

KT 2.0 Processor and Software
Driven by second-generation KT2.0 software, the APC 42 incorporates advanced algorithms to ensure quieter images and smoother performance during panning and scanning. Take your observational experience to the next level with seamless precision.

KDGS-1 Suspension
Equipped with the groundbreaking KDGS-1 suspension system and second-generation accelerometers, the APC 42 delivers unmatched precision in stabilizing the motion of the roof prisms for sharper, more reliable imagery.

Full Season on One Charge
Powered by two active AA batteries and two spares, the APC 42 ensures uninterrupted performance for at least 120 hours of continuous observation. You’ll only need to replace the batteries once or a few times a year, offering worry-free exploration wherever you go.

APC Power Saving Mode
With its APC mode, the binocular seamlessly transitions into sleep mode when not in use and activates instantly when needed—no buttons required. This intuitive feature guarantees hassle-free, uninterrupted observation at all times.

Built to Resist
Designed to withstand harsh conditions, the APC 42 boasts an IPX 7 waterproof rating, making it submersible to a depth of 1 meter. Nitrogen gas filling prevents fogging, ensuring peak performance even in the most humid environments.

Enhanced Protection
Optional silicone casings provide an additional layer of protection, while compatible lens protectors keep your optics safe in rugged environments. This extra durability ensures your APC 42 remains in pristine condition, no matter where your adventures take you.

The APC 42 is the pinnacle of image-stabilized binocular design, combining advanced technology, durability, and user-focused innovation. It’s your ideal companion for all your observational needs.
