Kite Optics APC 60 ED Stabilized Spotting Scope with 17-35X Zoom - KOST60

Introducing the world's first hand-held, image stabilized spotting scope!  This Kite Optics 60 mm spotter is revolutionary, as it allows you to experience magnified views of up to 35X without requiring a tripod....but the steady views sure look like you are using one!

Featuring 17–35x magnification and premium ED optics, the APC 60 delivers breathtaking wide-angle views with exceptional clarity. Its oversized focus and power wheels ensure smooth, intuitive control—all packed into a sleek, lightweight design of just 1100g.

KDGS-TTK is the beating heart of the APC 60 ED, an advanced active stabilization system adapted from KITE’s renowned binocular technology (Kite Dynamic Gymbal system (link) ). This intelligent gimbal mechanism continuously analyzes and corrects movement in real-time, delivering rock-solid, tripod-like stability even at high magnifications. The result is unmatched clarity and precision in a fully handheld design, giving you the freedom to explore without limits.

With the APC 60 ED, you’ll encounter an unmatched level of immersion, feeling as though you’re right there with the object you’re observing. Thanks to the increased precision of KDGS-TTK, KITE OPTICS takes a significant leap forward in advancing its software. KT 3.0 delivers a unique viewing experience that mirrors the cognitive and visual patterns of the mind, effectively making the sensation of looking through optics vanish.

The APC 60 ED and KSP 80 HD Angled Spotting Scope (sold separately) are designed with a shared vision of versatility. Both models use the same interchangeable 17-35X zoom eyepiece, allowing you to effortlessly switch between them.  Already own a KSP 80 HD with an eyepiece and looking for a lightweight, stabilized companion for your travels? Simply purchase the APC 60 ED body only—no need to invest in an additional eyepiece.

Of course, the flexibility works both ways: if you start with the APC 60 ED, you can easily expand to the KSP 80 HD and use the same eyepiece. This modular design gives you the freedom to adapt your gear to any adventure, without unnecessary extra costs.

Say goodbye to arm fatigue during long observations with the RelaxView Carbon Fiber Stick. This lightweight, handheld support keeps your arms comfortably close to your body, providing steady, controlled viewing for hours without strain. Also compatible with APC 50 binoculars, or any other device that has a 1/4″ thread on the bottom.
