The stabilized binoculars are equipped with KITE’s APC system (angle power control). Without having to switch the button, it will put the stabilizing electronics to sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck) , and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase of battery life and comfort of use.
- With its 2 AA batteries, the stabilization mechanism can be active for up to 36 hours. The APC STABILIZED binoculars are also perfectly usable without activating the stabilization mechanism.
- Regardless of its position (rest or active), after 90 mintues the instrument will automatically switch off for energy saving.
