The details
APC 20x42 ED
The APC 42 ED features a premium 42 mm ED optical system, delivering the finest image ever achieved in 42 mm stabilized binoculars. Razor-sharp detail and true-to-life colour reproduction set a new standard in stabilized visual performance. Compact, lightweight and perfectly balanced, it offers exceptional comfort and control in the hand — even during extended use.
HYBRID POWER
The APC 42 ED combines hybrid power flexibility with industry-leading efficiency. Use standard alkaline or lithium AAA batteries, or the included USB-C rechargeable Li-ion cells — a unique advantage in its class. Powered by KITE’s ultra-efficient prism gimbal stabilization, enhanced by intelligent APC auto-sleep when worn, and supported by an integrated spare battery compartment, it delivers up to a year of use on a single set of batteries.
BUILT TO LAST
The APC 42 ED is engineered for long-term reliability and covered by a 30-year warranty — including its electronic stabilization system. This exceptional level of confidence is made possible by precision manufacturing in Japan and dedicated service facilities in Belgium, built on over 40 years of KITE’s expertise in optics and its pioneering role in image stabilization. At our workshops in Belgium, every stabilized optic can be inspected, serviced and repaired by specialized technicians — ensuring your binocular remains reliable for decades to come.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
