The Kite APC Stabilized 60 ED 17-35x60 Stabilised Spotting Scope redefines what a spotting scope can be. Combining premium ED optics, advanced image stabilisation technology and a versatile 17-35x zoom eyepiece, it delivers the detail and reach of a traditional spotting scope without the need for a tripod. As the world's first handheld image stabilised spotting scope, the APC 60 ED offers a level of freedom and portability that simply hasn't existed before.

Traditional spotting scopes are designed to be used from a tripod, particularly at higher magnifications where even the slightest movement can make viewing difficult. At 35x magnification, a conventional spotting scope would normally be almost impossible to use handheld. Thanks to KITE OPTICS' advanced KDGS-TTK stabilisation system, the APC 60 ED actively compensates for movement in real time, providing a remarkably stable image that allows you to enjoy spotting scope levels of performance while remaining completely mobile.

The premium ED optical system delivers exceptional sharpness, contrast and colour fidelity while minimising chromatic aberration. Combined with an impressive 90% light transmission, the APC 60 ED produces bright, detailed images across its entire zoom range. Whether you're observing birds, wildlife, marine activity or distant landscapes, you'll experience outstanding image quality and a remarkably immersive viewing experience.

At the heart of the APC 60 ED is KITE's latest KT 3.0 processor and software platform working alongside the advanced KDGS-TTK stabilisation system. Together they provide an incredibly natural viewing experience that feels less like looking through a spotting scope and more like being closer to the subject itself.

Weighing just 1350g complete with eyepiece, the APC 60 ED offers a level of portability rarely associated with spotting scopes. The oversized focus and power wheels provide smooth, intuitive control, while the integrated rechargeable battery delivers up to 36 hours of operation. For birdwatchers, wildlife enthusiasts, travellers and nature observers who want spotting scope performance without the burden of carrying a tripod, the APC 60 ED represents a genuine breakthrough in optical design.
