Designed for unmatched clarity and effortless mobility, the APC 60 lets you explore nature with extraordinary precision and freedom. -
Modular Flexibility: The APC 60 ED and KSP 80 HD are designed with a shared vision of versatility. Both models use the same interchangeable eyepiece, allowing you to effortlessly switch between them.
Already own a KSP 80 HD with an eyepiece and looking for a lightweight, stabilized companion for your travels? Simply purchase the APC 60 ED body only—no need to invest in an additional eyepiece.
Of course, the flexibility works both ways: if you start with the APC 60 ED, you can easily expand to the KSP 80 HD by using the same eyepiece.

Telescope Power In The Palm Of Your Hand: KDGS-TTK is the beating heart of the APC 60 ED, an advanced active stabilization system adapted from KITE’s renowned binocular technology (Kite Dynamic Gimbal System). This intelligent gimbal mechanism continuously analyzes and corrects movement in real-time, delivering rock-solid, tripod-like stability even at high magnifications. The result is unmatched clarity and precision in a fully handheld design, giving you the freedom to explore without limits.
