Long description
A bird of prey on a cliff, an animal on a hillside or a boat offshore: the KITE APC 18X50 ED AA gives distant subjects a greater presence in your view. Its 18× magnification helps you examine fine details, while image stabilisation reduces shake caused by hand movements.
The 50 mm ED objectives limit colour fringing around high-contrast edges. MHR Advance+ coatings contribute to the stated 86% light transmission. A 61° apparent field of view provides a spacious view of the subject and its surroundings.
In the field, the two AA batteries are straightforward to replace. The APC function automatically adjusts standby operation according to the binoculars’ orientation, conserving energy between observations. IPX7 waterproofing and nitrogen filling complete the equipment for outdoor use.
