Customers Say
Binoculars offer clear, bright images and good magnification, ideal for astronomy and birdwatching. They are well-made and good value but quite heavy, making a tripod highly recommended for steady viewing.

Decent
Curious, Stability is good and nice binoculars but I’m wondering what the x25 version is like now.

Great deal!
I'm very pleased with my purchase. Argos had an offer so got the product for £95.99 :)

Excellent binoculars
Clear bright image with good magnification. Primarily bought for astronomy but good for birdwatching as well. Good balance if held a little further forward and not as heavy or cumbersome as you might expect. Having said that, they do benefit from using a tripod
Martin
Great clarity
The binoculars were amazing and in my opinion equal to models of a much higher price
Dave E, 55 - 64
Good value for money
For the price paid these are good. The tripod mount is cheap though and buyers will probably want to buy something more solid. I bought them as a pair that I could hold freehand and also mount on a tripod for both nature viewing and also for the night sky, it does both of these the quality of the glass abs view is good taking into account the relatively low price.

Great, clear binoculars
Bought these on holiday as the views were fantastic and binoculars screamed out to me. Researched a few and settled on these - they are easy focus, very clear and better at distance viewing than I had hoped. Great binoculars!

Amazing Binoculars
If you are looking for a huge zoom & clear binoculars these are the binoculars you sre looking for. My only issue is that they are very heavy so this could be an issue for some people. The lenses are anaxing and crystal clear.

Binoculars to see the sky!

Hi there.
I can advise that the Celestron Skymaster 15x70 Porro Prism Binoculars are ideal for terrestrial use and with the high power zoom, these are perfect to look out at sea. It is recommended to use with a tripod for extra stability.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Stargazer
Since the distance between the eyes (specifically, the distance between the centers of the pupils) varies among individuals, the two eyepieces of the binoculars must be correctly aligned (adjusted). This is called adjusting the interpupillary distance. To adjust this distance, lift the binoculars up to your eyes (using both hands) and look through them at an object in the distance. Move the two halves of the binoculars about the hinge until you see one clear circle of image through both eyes.
Thanks for using Q&A.
