Celestron – UpClose G2 10x50 Binocular – Multi-Coated Optics for Bird Watching, Wildlife, Scenery and Hunting – Porro Prism Binocular for Beginners – Includes Soft Carrying Case

I am starting to injoy these Up Close G2 10-30×50 Binoculars. The optics are of good quality. Clear Bright Images . They are a little difficult to focus at first but as you use them it gets a little easier. Sturdy well built. Not to heavy some were around 2lbs. I do suggest a Trypod for they start to get heavy and shaky after holding awhile. I was able to catch the comet as it went by here in Carmichael ca. This evening 10-15 2024. I could see the heat waves behind the Comet. Do not have phone mount for binoculars. Will need to purchase. The moon was close to full tonight and was able to zoom in to see some craters. Zoom lever works great able to zoom in and out no problem. These are my 1st. Porro Prism Binoculars and I w really like the optics they use. Very good for the money and if you are a beginner to binoculars these would be great to start with. We go camping and hiking alot. And binoculars come in very handy. I use my Nikon Action 22×50 and Bushnell 20×50. Alot as well. I suggest purchasing a hard case if you plane on taking trips with Binoculars. All N all a very good investment. My wife likes using these because there a little liter to hold.

First of all, people need to understand: When ordering binoculars online, especially ones in this range, you are taking the chance you will get a bad pair. Between the factory and the shipping to your door, there's a chance the pair you get WILL BE OUT OF COLLIMATION. This means you will see double and never get a merged focused image. In other words, they'll be useless. If you read through reviews that's the main complaint people have and they conclude the binoculars "just suck". However, it seems the number of bad are outweighed by the number of good ones people received. And Amazon is really good at returns and exchanges, so you really just stand to lose time and convenience having to make the return if they are out of collimation. Having said that... Since my main use is for stargazing I already had gotten the 15x70 SkyMaster, which is also an excellent pair for the price. But because of their size, for hand-held use they can be difficult to use. I can manage pretty well, but my wife definitely had a harder time, so I took a chance with these. Having taken the collimation gamble with the SkyMasters and being a pessimist, I wasn't expecting my luck to be good twice in a row. But these also arrived in collimation and focused just fine. After the relief of that, the second thing I noticed was how much easier they were to hold, and therefore, how much better and stable the image was. Using them at night was just as easy. Between their size and lower magnification I was able to focus in on objects a lot easier than with the SkyMasters. My wife also found them MUCH easier to use. The image is not as close or as bright, but for hand held use the stability of the smaller one wins. However, even though I could see Jupiter and it's moons 'good' with these 10x50's for a longer time, I still switched to the 15x70's for a 'better' but shorter view. That wouldn't be an issue with a good sturdy tripod though and the bigger one would win ~hands down~ (see what I did there?). Like the Skymasters, these came with a thin flimsy soft case, a cheap neckstrap, lens caps, and a tiny microfiber cloth. Unlike the Skymasters, it didn't come with a tripod adapter, which isn't a big deal since most will use them hand-held and the tripod adapter the Skymaster did come with really sucks anyway. It appears to be a well-built pair of binoculars, but that's not saying anything if a good enough bump knocks them out of collimation. Taking that into account, I ditched the flimsy carrying bags for both pairs of binoculars and put them in "Plano Protector Four Pistol" cases. Overkill maybe, but made me feel better. Overall, for $20-30 binoculars, these are really good.

These are actually very nice binos while These are not marketed as astro binos they are capable of giving extremely good veiws of the night sky was able to get pin point stars and with a tripod and the higher power to see quiet alot they don't compete with my 80mm binos but stand tall on their own for a different field of veiw and versatility

Very easy to focus and maintain a clear image. Makes excellent use of available light. Great field of view. I'm very impressed after having a pair of roof prism binoculars. A world of difference!

Celestron 10x30-50 Zoom Binoculars: A Good Choice with Limitations. I recently purchased the Celestron 10x30-50 Zoom Binoculars in like-new condition and they arrived in pristine, original packaging with all components included. The product was exactly as described and the initial unboxing experience was excellent. These binoculars feel solid and well-made, offering a mix of versatility and portability. However, while they perform well in certain scenarios, they are not without their shortcomings, particularly at higher zoom levels. The 10x to 30x zoom capability is one of the binoculars’ main selling points, and it performs admirably at lower magnifications. The 50mm objective lenses gather plenty of light, delivering bright and clear views for stargazing and general use. At 10x magnification, the field of view is wide and detailed and making it easy to locate celestial objects or scan landscapes. However, as you zoom closer to 30x magnification, the limitations become apparent. When using higher magnifications, I noticed that the binoculars struggled to focus on finer details. Objects appeared slightly blurry, and there was a distinct “out-of-focus ball effect” that made precise observations difficult. This issue detracts from their usability for stargazing, as zooming in to observe features like the moon’s craters or distant planets doesn’t provide the level of clarity one would expect. Adjusting the focus wheel at these levels helps somewhat but the image quality never quite reaches the sharpness seen at lower magnifications. Despite these issues, the binoculars remain comfortable and user-friendly. The lightweight design and rubberized grip make them easy to handle for extended periods and the adjustable eyecups provide a good fit for glasses wearers and non-glasses wearers alike. The build quality is solid, the binoculars hold up well for casual use, especially when used at 10x to 15x magnification, where the binoculars perform best! In terms of versatility, the binoculars are still a good option for a variety of activities beyond stargazing. They work well for birdwatching, hiking, and general sightseeing, particularly at lower magnifications. However, the struggles with image clarity at higher zoom levels and distance make them less suitable for anyone seeking a tool for serious astronomical observations. Overall, I would rate the Celestron 10x30-50 Zoom Binoculars as a 3-star product. While they offer good value and solid performance at lower zoom levels, the difficulties with focus and clarity at higher magnifications hold them back. They are a decent choice for casual stargazing and outdoor activities but if you’re looking for binoculars capable of delivering sharp detailed views at maximum zoom, you may want to consider other options.

Très bonne jumelle

Tho bit confusing at first when I get the hang of it, it feels nice and the material it is made in adds good feeling, the view is what I expected, not sharp but sharp enough, the carrier and stuff coming in with it (microfibre cloth and strap) was good. Not a 5 star because the view is not perfect, the magnification I trust being 20 and aperture 50, I use it a few times, doesn’t disappoint

Like it was clear good ... Earlier unit I returned as the unit has a crack and double vision.

Very clear, bright optics. Lovely design, eyepieces are on a spring arrangement so they don't bump against your eyes, shape with small thumb indentations makes holding the binoculars properly easy, very smooth focusing. This is like the millionth version of some product, everything has been optimised as far as it can go. I like mine a lot.

Sirven excelente para observación terrestre/lunar, en Júpiter pude apreciar las lunas pero no más, es necesario un trípode para observar mejor planetas o estrellas luminosas, en el día se ve muy claro y se siente de buena calidad todo.
