The Kite Falco are a high performance, lightweight and compact pair of binoculars. They produce bright images, with all lens surfaces coated in Kite’s MHR coating; a multilayer coating that allows up to 90% light transmission between the objective and ocular lenses. These coatings also do not alter the colours seen through the binoculars which means there is true colour reproduction and a high level of contrast and focus depth providing great images.
The Falco have a wide field of view, which combined with their image quality, makes them great for panning while watching fast moving subjects as well for use during low light conditions. The Falco also have a great close focus of 1.7m, which is perfect for viewing entomological subjects up close and in sharp focus.
These binoculars have a slim design with a short hinge and a large ribbed, metal focus wheel, meaning changing focus is very natural and fast. This, along with the two well placed, grip texture thumb indents, lends them well for extended use.
The Falco are fully waterproof and gas filled, meaning they won’t fog up inside.They are robustly made, backed by Kite’s 30 year warranty.
All of the Falco sizes have 4-stage, removable, aluminum eyecups. On the 8 x 42 and 10 x 42 models this provides a huge range of eye relief with 22 and 17 respectively.
