Kite Optics

Kite Optics is a Belgian family-run company crafting high-precision optical instruments since 1992, from traditional binoculars and long-range riflescopes to image-stabilized binoculars and spotting scopes.

B6 LR Riflescopes — Precision hunting scopes with zero-stop ballistic turrets, revolution counters, and up to 90% light transmission. Available in 2-12x42 and 3-18x50 configurations with classic 4Ai or tactical 23i holdover reticles. One-piece 30mm aluminum tube, IPX7 waterproof.

Lynx HD+ Binoculars — Classic open-bridge binoculars with an HD optical system, MHR Advance+ coatings, and 88–90% light transmission. Five configurations from the pocket-friendly 8x30 to the low-light 10x50, all 815g or lighter with IPX7 waterproofing.

APC Stabilized Series — Kite's gimbal stabilization (KT 3.0 software on the APC 50 ED and APC 60 ED, KT 2.0 on the APC 42) cancels up to 2° of handshake (3° on the 30mm models), delivering rock-steady views at 12×–18× without a tripod. Battery life runs from 30 hours per charge on the Li-ion binoculars to as much as 60 hours on AA batteries. Available in 30mm, 42mm, and 50mm binocular configurations, plus the APC 60 ED, the world's first handheld stabilized spotting scope.

Stabi One Monocular — The most affordable way into Kite stabilization: a 10x20 stabilized monocular that fits a jacket pocket, at $479.
