Digital camera reviews of Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars with Tripod Adapter
Digital camera Review: Binoculars are good; Tripod adapter terrible.
Summary: 3 Stars
I am pleased with these binoculars. I have been using them mainly for viewing astronomical objects such as double stars, stellar clusters, galaxies, etc. For the price, they have done what I wanted them to do. However, the tripod adapter is made of plastic and oscillates whenever touched. This means that you cannot come into contact with the binoculars while viewing or you will have to wait until the oscillations are dampened over time. The adapter should have been made of metal.Digital camera Review: Binoculars over telescopes
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been to a couple of stargazing parties with these and, its funny how many people with their big scopes come over wanting to look through the binoculars. Quality seems to be excellent but thats from a newbie to astronomy. I love looking thru them but havent quite mastered the best way to use them yet as i wear glasses. I have just got a tripod and hope that helps because the biggest problem is holding them steady enough. but based on all the comments at the stargazing party these are an amazing value and great for those just getting into astronomy and trying to learn the night sky before making a big investment in a telescope . I enjoy looking through the scopes but actually like looking thru the binoculars more so far. But as i said im still learning and do want to eventually get a nice scope. For those just starting out though I think this is a very good binocular and am looking forward to some clear skies and using them.Digital camera Review: Binoculars.

Good product. Exactly as described. Anymore powerful and you would need a tripod. Enjoy the better view of the moon.Digital camera Review: Buy binos at a store
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to return this product because it was out of collimation. I'm sure the product in itself is good, but if you can go to the store to check that the pair you're buying is good, then do so. BTW, Amazon was great in taking the return at no cost for me and refunding the money, but why go through the process if you can get very similar prices at your local store.Digital camera Review: Celestron 15 X 70 Binoculars

A very clear view and easy to adjust. Viewing through these binoculars is best done using a heavy duty tripod due to the weight and the difficulty in holding them steady.
