New-Generation Stabilization
Kite's KT 2.0 processor and KDGS-1 stabilization system hold the image steady, which makes handheld observation far more comfortable. The 3° correction angle compensates for hand tremor, wind, and movement from a vehicle or boat.
93% Light Transmission
Despite the compact 30 mm objectives, the APC 30 II reaches a peak light transmission of 93%. It gives a bright, sharp image with natural colours, even as daylight fades.
Engineered in Belgium, Made in Japan
Every APC binocular is made in Japan and developed by Kite Optics in Belgium, which has decades of experience with premium optics.
Covered for 30 Years
The APC 30 II has Kite Optics' 30-year warranty on the complete instrument, including its electronics. Service is handled by Kite's workshop in Belgium.
Built for the Real World
The APC 30 II is IPX7 waterproof, so rain, spray or an accidental dunk won't cause water ingress, even if the binoculars are briefly submerged.
Make It Yours
Optional APC 30 II silicone jackets add protection and grip. They come in Sage Green (KSSG30), Dusty Rose (KSDR30) and Petrol Blue (KSPB30) and are sold separately.
