The Pocket Spotting Scope The smallest big adventure in the Canaries.
Imagine this: you’re standing at the Mirador del Teide, the wind sweeping through the ravine, and in the distance a Black Kite is circling overhead. No binoculars in your backpack, no tripod, no setup – and yet you see it. Crystal clear. Steady. Perfect. Because the STABI ONE is sitting in your pocket.
Smaller than your wallet. Bigger than anything you’ve had before.
130 grams. 5 × 4 × 7 cm. A single AAA battery that lasts for months. The STABI ONE is a world first – the world’s first fully stabilised 10×20 observation instrument that genuinely fits in any pocket. I carry it every day – walking the dogs, working in the garden, heading down to the beach. You almost forget it’s there. Until you need it.
Stabilisation that changes everything
10x magnification handheld – until now, that meant a shaky, frustrating experience. The STABI ONE puts an end to that. Its 2° stabilisation system absorbs every tremor and delivers an image that looks frozen in place. Like a photograph. Ravine, coastline, ocean horizon – pin-sharp, whether you’re standing, walking or out on a boat.
The real game changer: digiscoping in your pocket
No tripod. No telescope. No endless setup. The digiscoping mount clips together in seconds – and suddenly your smartphone becomes a high-performance telescope. The STABI ONE’s 10× optical zoom combined with your phone’s digital zoom: 50×, 100×, even 500× is possible. Once you’ve photographed a Common Sandpiper along the Fuerteventura coastline with this setup, there’s no going back.
Made for the Canaries. Made for you.
From the Caldera de Taburiente to Teide National Park, from birdwatching in the dunes of Maspalomas to spotting dolphins out on the Atlantic – the STABI ONE is always with you. Weather-resistant, heat-proof up to +55°C, and ready from the very first second. No gear stress. No heavy luggage. Just you, nature and a device that redefines what’s possible.
I’ve been using one of the very first units KITE OPTICS ever sent out – since February. And I’ll be honest: it has changed the way I observe. The STABI ONE is not yet officially available – but it’s coming soon. Anyone who wants to be among the first to own one should get on the list now.
