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.

We will buy or part-exchange your cameras, lenses, accessories, spotting scopes and binoculars.
We are able to give you a rough price - however we will need to see your gear to give you a final price.
The market fluctuates rapidly and there are a number of considerations we have to make when purchasing equipment from our customers. Our prices undoubtedly are less than you would get if you were to sell privately. The reason for this is, when we sell them to a customer we have to provide a warranty - and with growing costs for repairs this has to be a key consideration.
We’ll always offer as fair a deal as possible and are happy to negotiate or in some instances offer a commission sales basis.
To enquire about selling or part exchanging any items, please complete our online form and ensure you select 'Selling / Part Exchange' within the enquiry type dropdown.
Get in touch!
Many thanks, Justin
