Short description

A small detail in the distance can transform an observation. The KITE APC 18X50 ED Li-ion combines 18× magnification, 50 mm ED objectives and KT 3.0 image stabilisation to examine distant subjects handheld. Its built-in battery charges via USB-C and provides up to 30 hours of use.

Long description

Examining feather patterns on a cliff, studying a silhouette on a hillside or recognising details on a boat offshore: the KITE APC 18X50 ED Li-ion brings greater depth to long-distance observation. Its 18× magnification draws the subject closer, while image stabilisation reduces shake caused by hand movements.

ED lenses limit colour fringing around high-contrast edges. Working with MHR Advance+ coatings, they support natural colour reproduction and clearly visible details. A 61° apparent field of view gives the subject and its surroundings room within the view.

USB-C charging makes preparation for your outings straightforward. Between observations, the APC function automatically manages standby according to the binoculars’ orientation, conserving energy. IPX7 waterproofing and nitrogen filling complete the equipment for outdoor use.
