Kite Optics APC Stabilized 22x50 Binoculars
APC STABILIZED 22x50
A NEW WORLD RECORD
With 22x magnification, the new APC 22×50 delivers the highest power ever achieved in a stabilized binocular. Handheld 22x observation was once considered impossible — KITE OPTICS, pioneer in image stabilization, makes this a reality. This new flagship pushes the boundaries of electronic image stabilization and handheld observation.
One single device
The APC 22×50 brings spotting-scope-level detail into handheld binoculars. Leave the scope and tripod at home and observe comfortably with both eyes. At just one kilogram, the stabilized 22x magnification enhances your experience without compromise.
Built for confidence, designed to last
With over 40 years of innovation from Belgian family-owned KITE OPTICS, the APC 22×50 is developed in Belgium and produced in Japan. All KITE APC binoculars are now backed by a 30-year warranty, including electronics. A level of confidence made possible by our dedicated service center in Belgium, where every product can be maintained and repaired to the highest standards.
KDGS-2
In 2024, KITE OPTICS unveils the second generation of the KDGS, propelling KITE OPTICS’ image stabilization performance to an unprecedented level. A new era dawns once more.
KT 3.0 processor & software
With the APC 50, 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-2, 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 binoculars vanish.
Sustained performance
The APC Stabilized 22×50 only comes in a 2x AA-battery powered version, providing up to 38h of active observation. It’s important that you only use batteries provided or explicitly recommended by KITE OPTICS. Read the warranty guidelines in the download section for more information.
