    New APC 42 Stabilized

    Hi mbb, I cannot remember as I saw several videos on these APC binoculars. But maybe. What strikes me regarding these, other binoculars and videos of scopes is that the presenters rarely have a good grasp of their subject. A few reviewers clearly know their stuff, but not many. I can...

    New APC 42 Stabilized

    One should always wait after glowing reviews of the newest, greatest binocular. At least a month until the truth emerges. Or at least for a second independent opinion, where the hidden problems emerge. My 20 year old Canon 18x50 IS despite problems with colour prism artifacts etc. still...

    New APC 42 Stabilized

    Thanks for the video. I cannot tell from just one video, but the Kite stabilizer does not on first impressions seem better than, say, the Canon 18x50 IS. My Canon 10x30 Mk2 IS is I think better even allowing for the lower magnification. Incidentally, the electronics warranty seems to be two...

    New APC 42 Stabilized

    If the Kite 16x42 IS is as good as Kite and reviewers claim then how about a Kite 22x52 IS and a Kite 24x56 IS. These would be alternatives to a small spotting scope. Regards, B.
