APC Stabilized 60 ED
No Tripod, Total Freedom
The world’s first hand-held, image stabilized spotting scope

Experience the world like never before with the APC 60 ED, the world’s first handheld stabilized spotting scope. Enjoy rock-steady views with up to 35x magnification, all without the need for a tripod.
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.
This modular design gives you the freedom to adapt your gear to any adventure, without unnecessary extra costs.
Power in Your Hands
Featuring 17–35x magnification and premium ED optics, the APC 60 delivers breathtaking wide-angle views with exceptional clarity. Its oversized focus and power wheels ensure smooth, intuitive control—all packed into a sleek, lightweight design of just 1100g.
Comfort Without Compromise
Say goodbye to arm fatigue during long observations with the RelaxView Carbon Fiber Stick. This lightweight, handheld support keeps your arms comfortably close to your body, providing steady, controlled viewing for hours without strain. Also compatible with APC 50 binoculars, or any other device that has a 1/4″ thread on the bottom.


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 Gymbal system (link) ). 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.
