Celestron 71256 G2 10x50 Upclose Wide-Angle Porro Binocular (Black)

Excellent product 👍.

I had recently been for a safari and the Celestron 71256 G2 10x50 Upclose Wide-Angle Porro Binocular which I purchased just before proceeding for the tour was very new to me. But it is very easy to use for beginners and at par with professional one too. The clarity was more than sufficient and in a very technical term more than 10X is difficult to be handled without tripod too. When you are in jeep safari, this product is best for kids as well as for adults too. Personally, I liked it very much, as it is handy - light weight, easy to operate and grips are well placed to hold it .....

This is a fine piece of binocular that is very attractively priced. I have been using it for the last two days and I am satisfied.The binocular requires initial adjustments according to the eyesight of the observer, and once you adjust it to the desired field of view the results are excellent. In fact the more distant the object, the better the performance. Some reviewers have written that each half of the binocular focuses on a separate field of view, but I did not face that difficulty. It may be that you will see two different fields of view if you look at a very close object, such as within your room. But if you look at more distant objects such as trees and birds or the moon then it presents a unified view. And of course you have to carefully adjust to get a clear view of the distant object.My only complaint is that the quality of finishing is perhaps a bit below the mark if you compare this piece with an Olympus. But then at this price point that can be tolerated. So if you want a low priced binocular that performs well, definitely go for this one. And remember to adjust to get a sharp view of distant objects!

Ordered twice. Both time double vision issue was there. Ultimately got refund.

Excellent product. No match for this. Worth for money. Packaging was good but could be better if bubble packing would have used.

Packaging review:An year ago, I ordered a 10×50 g2 upclose. It came in the worst kind of packaging and the item box is torn up totally. Moreover, behind the diopter there was a big crack. I returned it immediately. A week ago, I ordered an 8×40 G2 up close (April 9th 2023). Again the packaging came in worst condition. Felt like a used product by looking at the item cover box. It says the manufacturing was sept 2022, but the condition of the box felt like 2018. The packaging seems to be always a problem with both the seller and celestron company. There is no extra shock protection inside. It travelled all the way from Delhi to Chennai and guess what, one of the objective lens is detached and sent. I thought it was broken. It was infuriating, but Somehow I managed attach it to the main body using the internal threading it has. For 4000 rupees I thought I should not complain. But hey, it's celestron. The budget friendly product. No matter how much the product actually values, packaging must be taken care by the sellers. That's how we value them. We all know how the transportation and delivery can break the items inside. There is no "Fragile item inside. Handle with care on the outside of the Amazon Packaging. For this I giveAmazon Packaging: 2 starsSeller care: 2 starsCelestron company packaging: 2 starsBinoculars review:Quality wise it's in between an OK product and a Great product, especially at this cost. If you are a beginner you will be in that Awe moment. I personally think 8×40 or 8×42 are all rounders. The issues I have with especially with celestron are:1. Not truly multi coated as they claim.2. Not sufficient exit pupil3. Poor Internal build4. Not water proofThe good things about celestron are1. Budget friendly and good lenses2. Good for professional use3. Light weight (8×40 vs 10×50 huge difference)4. No chromatic abberation.5. Good external build6. Good lens protection caps. It fits.7. You could see upto 6.3 magnitude stars in the darkest sky. Seeing magnitude 7 and 8 in this is impossible.So I decided to keep mine. Overall it's a good deal.

Good binoculars. A tad heavy

Great for looking at moon. I saw moon when it was say 60% white. The shadow border regions were awesome. Could see the mountains. That said maybe in less pollution I could see planets clearer. But even with tripod that didn't happen. For birdwatching etc it's too good.
