Kite Optics Ibis ED Binoculars
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
Love at first sight. The IBIS ED brings the open-bridge design to the KITE range. The possiblity to wrap your entire hand around one of the barrels while keeping your index finger on the focus wheel, gives you a unique comfort and allows viewing and operating of the instrument with one hand only. The binocular barrels are slim, but still featre a sufficiently thick rubber armor with texture to provide you maximum grip. The metal twist-up eyecups are removable, allowing the user to easily clean them or replace them by new ones if necessary. The ED/HD optical system provides a briliant and sharp image from centre to edge. The color tone is perfectly natural for accurate determination.
