TAKE THE BEST START
URSUS is the entry model of the KITE OPTICS professional roof prism range. It is an easy to use all-round pair of binoculars, designed for every day use and comes with an extensive 30 years warranty. The optical system benefits from the KITE MHR coating. A coating system that provides full multi coating on all lens surfaces, as well as a high reflective coating on the prism. This results in excellent colour balance, a bright and sharp image.
The KITE URSUS is fully waterproof and nitrogen gas filled, eliminating any chance of condensation from the inside. Its chassis is fully covererd with a strong rubber armor to give the instrument optimal protection against shocks and jolts.

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..
