These high-quality optical binoculars with 16x42 performance specifications will provide you with gloriously resolved observations at 16x power and stable images in the most challenging conditions. The Kite Optics APC 16x42 stabilized binoculars bring you the latest technology in binocular image stabilization, with high angular range correction control for movement. There are other stabilized binoculars on the market, but none of them compare to this. These Kite Optics APC 16x42 stabilized binoculars offer true military-grade stabilization performance for viewing from moving vehicles, boats, aircraft, and more.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003eThe most important performance difference is the correction angle. Most current stabilized binoculars offer a correction angle of 0.5° to 1°. This corresponds to a correction of 0.8 to 1.7 meters at a distance of 100 meters. Hand shake, viewing in windy weather, or being out of breath after a hike will easily lead to image instability greater than these values. KITE APC stabilized binoculars feature new technology that allows the instrument to correct image stability by 2°, which is more than conventional stabilization technology. This allows for perfectly stable images not only from your shaky hand, but even from a moving car or boat.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003eThis very compact and lightweight instrument also features intelligent functionalities. The electronics are powered by two AA batteries and will operate the system for 120 hours, including powering the backup AA batteries that are internal to the device. But to ensure no second is lost, the Kite Optics APC binoculars are equipped with sensors that will automatically put the electronics into sleep mode when you are not looking. When the instrument is in an upright position, hanging from your neck or placed on a surface, it goes to sleep. The second it comes to a more horizontal position, for viewing, the stabilization system automatically kicks in. No fumbling with buttons, no accidental battery drain. A timer function ensures it turns off completely after 90 minutes. And a low battery indicator will tell you well in advance when new batteries are needed.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003eThe Kite Optics APC 16x42 stabilized binoculars are ergonomically shaped and feature a 4 cm long focus wheel that can be easily operated with 3 fingers.

This model (the KOST1642) offers an incredible 16x magnification specification along with image stabilization. Optically it is on the same level of performance as the KITE PETREL, however, in any circumstance of instability, whether from your own hands, heavy breathing, wind, a moving car, etc... these binoculars will give you the image and details you want to see and expect from Kite Optics.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: \" times new roman serif color: rgb\u003eEasy to carry, hold, easy to use, with beautiful image quality, and with APC stabilization technology that is 6 times better than most conventional stabilized binos can offer, the Kite Optics APC 16x42 stabilized binoculars will surprise and delight you every time you look through them and see what you want with absolute clarity.
