BINO APC STABILIZED 42

Stabilized optics

REVOLUTION IS HERE

STABILIZATION AS NEVER SEEN BEFORE

The innovative APC 42 redefines your experience in nature observation. Just as light and just as bright as conventional 42mm roof prism binoculars, but stable. And not the kind of stability you may have experienced before…  but an entirely new level of stability. Observe in the strongest winds, Observe as long as you like. See details as if you are watching a film. Start watching while you are still out of breath from that long walk, and enjoy highest magnifications without the slightest image vibration. But most important of all… Let yourself be amazed by the things you see, that are invisible with even the best standard binoculars.

 

The stabilized binoculars are equipped with KITE’s APC system (angle power control). Without having to switch the button, it will put the stabilizing electronics to sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck) , and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase of battery life and comfort of use.

 

120 Hour battery life with APC power saving

The APC 42 binocular has 2 battery boxes. Each battery box holds 2 standard AA bateries. One battery box contains 2 functional AA batteries that will run for 60 hours. The other box containes 2 spare AA batteries. After the first 60 hours, simply switch the batteries and continue for another 60 hours.  Intelligent features such as the KITE APC system (angle power control) will put the stabilizing electronics in sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck) , and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase of battery life and usage comfort. And regardless of its position (rest or active), after 90 mintues the instrument will automatically switch off for energy saving.

 

2° correction angle

The stabilisation capacity of the APC 42 goes beyond the suppression of image vibrations caused by wind or hand trembling. Its stabilisation capacity is 2x to 3x larger than that of other consumer stabilisers binoculars. APC stabilized binoculars have a millitary grade capacity stabilisation system that allows stable viewing from driving vehicles, boats, aircrafts and other unstable platforms.  

 

Waterproof and gas filled.

The APC 42 is fully waterproof. The optical system and electronics are sealed to result in an IPX 7 waterproof rating. It can handle any kind of rain shower and can even be submerged to 1 meter depth for a maximum of 30 minutes.  The system is nitrogen gas filled, to prevent internal fogging.

"APC 42"

Leo Dhoore

Sinds een maand hebben we onze Zeiss vervangen door de APC 42. De verwachtingen waren hoog gespannen door het enthousiasme van George en Marc. De belofte bij gebruik in het veld is meer dan volledig waargemaakt, wat een helder en scherp beeld, ook als de weersomstandigheden niet best zijn en in de avondschemering.
De kijker zit eigenlijk tussen een telescoop en een verrekijker in. Bij gevolg gebruiken we de telescoop veel minder.
De kijker toont groot, maar ligt heel prettig in de hand, makkelijk te hanteren en door de stabilisatie van het beeld ook geschikt om vogels in de vlucht te volgen en veel details waar te nemen. Kortom het waarnemen van vogels heeft een nieuwe dimensie gekregen en herkenning op (grote) afstand is veel beter.
Prijs kwaliteit is zeer in verhouding.
Een aanrader!

"Erg goed en fijn"

A-J van der Velden

Sinds een maand deze kijker in bezit en gebruik deze 5 a 6 dagen per week om vogels te spotte in Zeeland. Ben er zeer over te spreken. Had eerder een kleine telescoop en die heb ik weg gedaan. De kijker heeft helder en scherp beeld. De stabilisatie werkt fantastisch. Scherpstellen gaat erg comfortabel en gemakkelijk. Kunt vogels in vlucht er ook goed mee volgen. Wat mij betreft een echte aanrader voor vogelspotters.
