KITE Optics APC Stabilized 14x50 ED Li-Ion binoculars deliver a powerful combination of precision, stability, and endurance for serious outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife observers. Designed with a 14x magnification and a 50mm ED (Extra-low Dispersion) optical system, this model ensures razor-sharp detail, minimized chromatic aberration, and excellent contrast, even at long distances.
Built with KITE’s advanced KDGS-2 image stabilization and powered by the KT 3.0 processor, the APC 14x50 Li-Ion offers a steady, immersive viewing experience—reducing handshake blur and keeping your target in crisp focus. The MHR Advance+ lens coating system enhances brightness and clarity, delivering up to 86% light transmission, ideal for use in low-light conditions.
The compact, waterproof, and gas-filled body is constructed to IPX7 standards, ensuring performance in harsh environments. A rechargeable integrated Li-Ion battery powers the device for up to 30 hours and is easily charged via USB-C. For convenience, Angle Power Control (APC) puts the binoculars to sleep when not in use and reactivates instantly when picked up. A low battery indicator, tripod thread, and included hand strap add to the user-focused design.
Whether you’re scanning mountain ridgelines or observing wildlife at dusk, the APC 14x50 ED Li-Ion offers a premium stabilized viewing experience in a durable, travel-ready package.
