Digital camera reviews of Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars with Tripod Adapter
Digital camera Review: Awesome for the Price
Summary: 5 Stars
Great pair of binoculars. The magnification is awesome. Not a cheap pair of binoculars. They are pretty heavy, and a tripod would be a very good idea. I use them too look out my high-rise windows, so I lean the binoculars against the window. This steadies them pretty well.
For the price, these cannot be beat. Have had no problems with them. I would definitely recommend.
They come with a cheap case, so you may want to invest in more solid protection for them.
Digital camera Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This pair of binoculars is simply fantastic! Their adjust abilities are great and extremely easy to use. Besides being a little bit on the bulky side, I would definitely recommend this item to hunters, nature watchers and (I have no idea what their official name is sorry) star gazers.Digital camera Review: Bang for the buck!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
- BAK4 prism provides crisp and clear images
- tripod adaptable
- huge objectives
- does what is it supposed to do
- water-resistant
Cons:
- Heavy, but this isn't one of the binoculars you'd bring to a stadium or for hiking
- Needs tripod for image stability; comes with tripod adapter, so this issue is null
- Neck strap is pretty much non-usable since the weight of binoculars actually put pressure on the back of your neck. You would use a tripod most of the time, so this is also null
- Crappy carrying bag with strap, but nonetheless a bag
The relative:
- If you get this make sure you have a sturdy tripod
Note- I was able to make out the shape of Jupiter and see several of its moon with no difficulty.
Digital camera Review: Bargain for Beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
Got tired of lugging my 8" Schmidt-Cass out so me and my daughter could look at Jupiter, etc. Worked great out of the box, no issues with focus or anything like that, all was good. A bit bulky to hold still when looking at planets or smaller objects, especially for a youngster like my daughter (7 y/o), but mounts fine on tripod. Very pleased so far. Good bang for the buck. Now I can save the scope for the really special things.Digital camera Review: Best Binocs for the Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an amateur astronomer of about 6 years and I can say that these are a top notch pair of binoculars! (Some of the best I've ever looked through for this price). You can't go wrong for the price, especially if you're trying to view the night sky. I use a bogen tripod, and monopod to view with though since these are kind of heavy. I have seen countless beautiful clusters, nebulas (little harder), galaxies, and double stars; along with Jupiter and all 4 of its largest moons. The moon is amazing in these bincos too. I insist that if you're looking for a pair to get started with and learn the night sky, these are them. Celestron makes nice telescopes and most certainly binoculars too. Also many don't mention this on here but, Celestron has a no fault limited lifetime warranty. The limited part only means that if you break it in the first 30 days they fix for free, but after its $25 and they'll give you a new pair if needed. Now that's customer service!
