Delivered day before it was scheduled! Quick review after first contact with these binoculars, starting with pros: - Delivery to Europe in 3 days instead of 4 as predicted; - Powerfully and clear vision; - great magnification; - comfortable eye caps; - almost no shaking if you have big/strong hands; - solid for night sky observation, Moon is noticeably bigger than with some others with 20x magnification; - feeling is mighty. Cons: - Robust and transparent peace of optics; - Noticeable weight so shoulders need rest every 1-2 minutes, unless you laying your elbows on something; - Need a stong tripod if you want minimal or no shaking, especially if you are going to take a picture through it; - Actual feeling is that magnification goes up to maybe 50-70x but not 125x for sure. Anyway, here is also examples of pictures of moon with 25x and 125x magnigication. I was using bare hands, had no phone adapter and I tried to reduce shake hand to minimal. Binoculars was on tripod from my camera. I was worried after I read some reviews if it going to be worth. But as I saw as soon as it arrived, it wasn't something to be worried about at all. Even though it's a budget product you going to be very surprised. If I would buying again i would definitely pick them again!

For nature lovers, this binocular is a fantastic companion, especially for those who enjoy viewing near or mid-range scenes with exceptional clarity. The 125x zoom capability provides a level of sharpness for specific distances that is truly remarkable, which has greatly enhanced my observation experience. While many may have differing opinions on this, in my view, its performance primarily depends on proper usage. It should not be compared with a telescope in terms of magnification or functionality, as it is designed for observing the details of our surrounding nature rather than celestial objects or distant planets like Neptune. Therefore, for those considering purchasing this binocular, I would advise prioritizing your own needs first. If you are looking for a tool to capture near-range scenes perfectly for your nature observation hobby, this is an effective and quality instrument. If you focus on visual clarity and portability rather than expecting telescope-like high-power zoom, this binocular will prove to be one of the best investments for your collection.

I bought them wanting 125 magnification, but it is just not there. I closely compared them with my 20x75 spotting scope, because i did not believe they were 125 mag. I think they are 70 maybe 75 mag. at best. I knew about them being hard to focus with a narrow field of view at high magnification based on reviews. Due to them not having the advertized magnification I gave them 3 stars. However as a pair of 25x80 with some good zoom to about 40 to 45 I would rate them as 5 star quality. I looked online for 25x80 binoculars. I found only one and they were 400 + $. I would highly recommend theses binoculars as 25x80+ only. Good Viewing I have other long distance binoculars. I have had these for over a year now, and they have become my favorite. I use them 3 or more times a week. I live in the mountains of southeastern San Diego County. Long distance viewing is a hobby of mine. I have changed my rating from 3 to 5 stars. I stated that they were not 125 magnification, that is not so! These are excellent Bino's for there price. You must get used to them. There is a learning curve, and a little practice is necessary. As the magnification gets higher the exit pupal's ( points of light in the center of the eye piece ) get smaller, even tinny. Double image is caused by the misalignment of your pupal and the exit pupal of the bino's, but practice makes perfect. If you receive a pair that at base magnification of 25x have a double image that you can't get rid of, return them they are out of collimation. I so enjoy the variable magnification. I made a magnification chart using a factor of 7.150. Once you get used them you will enjoy the also. Have a good view. I have had these 5 years now, and I still enjoy them. I have learned an important fact about high magnification Viewing. 2 factors work against you, distance and air temperature. You will get a more clearer image in cooler temps. Temps above 70-75 degrees will have an effect on you image quality, depending on distance.

Recently I purchased the Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Binoculars and was absolutely delighted to spend time stargazing but quickly realized, we needed a second pair of binoculars as neither of us wanted to "share". I purchased this via Warehouse deals in good/like new condition however, there is always the possiblity I received a lemon. What's Included: This set comes with the binoculars, case, neck strap and instructions. Lens cap and eye piece covers are also included. Feel: These have a substantial weight and feel well made..unfortunately looks can be deceptive. The Problem(s): I thought this pair with zoom lenses might be a great addition since it would expand viewing pleasure thanks to the zoom. Boy was I wrong! Although this set of binoculars is only slightly larger in size than the Celestrong pair, the quality is notably less even without using the high zoom. In fact, even at the lowest setting, the blurry image was substantially inferior to the Celestron binoculars. Both myself and spouse spend a considerable amount of time trying these out...we each noticed the same problems. Focusing is more difficult, the image quality severely lacking even at the lowest settings and the haze/double image much more bothersome to eliminate. Additionally, the tripod brace and adaptor is not steady. It's very solid but slides side to side slowly once set-up. Bottom Line - Very underwhelming set of binoculars. The celestrong skymaster set is NOT a zoom so was highly disappointed this did not work out. These are being returned.

I was looking for reasonably priced binoculars with decent prisms for watching birds in local green-space parks. I was wary that the binoculars are large and may be difficult to manage on a full-day walkabout. I was excited when they arrived, in a shredded up box (these were "refurbished" returns) and that set the tone for my optical experience. There are four items to be aware of if you purchase these binoculars: 1.) The maximum distance between the ocular lenses is small, < 3". I am unable to see stereoscopically through the lenses as the distance is not wide enough for my eyes to resolve the optical centers of the eyepiece optics, so I have to close one eye to use them. Not very practical for someone with two fucctioning eyes. 2.) The porroprism optics are marginal at best, worsened by easily loosened external hardware to keep the two sides of the glasses tight together. 3.) To properly stabilize the binoculars you need a solid tripod. to mount them to. They are almost impossible to hold them by hand, and adjust the focus wheel and the diopter focus. It is very difficult to reproduce an optical sighting should you need to make any adjustments. 4.) As previously mentioned, the external hardware used to tighten the entire binocular in a specifc state is cheap and unreliable. Por ejemplo, if you tighten the center shaft to get the two sides of the optics correct for your vision. any stress placed on the center shaft will loosen it immediatly and it will flop around like it was made for a maritime circus clown. The reality is that if you have ever used a high-end binocular set such as Leica, Karl Zeiss, or Vortex, you will be disappointed. The image seems to lack brightness and chromaticity. The image through the ocular lenses is whitish, lacks definition and contrast, and defies the whole principle behind the porroprism-type binocular. It's an unmanageable, optically deficient and hardware defective set. It will entice you by the zoom figure and size, but unless you are watching trees grow from a distance, watching anything that moves, such as a bird, reminds me of what people do all day long in Tartarus or Tophet. I really can't recommend these binoculars for anything, except the clown. I would be remiss by not mentioning one positive characteristic of the product: the lens covers.

Me entretengo mucho viendo la creación del Universo y como Dios hizo las expansiones la luna y los planetas y las estrellas tan luminosas y estrellas que a simple vista no se pueden ver , con este telescopio lo puedo ver .

Took a chance and it works does what the title says.

I did not receive the stand as was advertised in the picture. But I paid $68 as a Amazon refurb, so I can’t complain too much. These are some big binoculars. As prior reviewers have mentioned, these are not great for close objects. And by close I mean a block or two. The image is ok but blurry. I had the binoculars at the lake this weekend and the picture was very good at several miles. Be sure to bring a stand. Very difficult to hold steady when the subject is at great distance.

Not sure what i expected, still not happy with them, hard to focus, and i expected a longer range, still not sure if its user or the product?

Love them, talk about being great to use and adjust when appropriate and it's range goes pretty far too so that is a big plus..

Bon produit

Il binocolo in sé non è male, acquistato per avere un 80 mm con determinati ingrandimenti. In realtà, seguito vari test, non supera i 40x. Meno della metà del dichiarato. Avevo già un 30x80 con ingrandimenti reali e visione effettiva addirittura migliore per luminosità e campo. Quindi è stato reso. Pertanto: posso consigliarne l'acquisto per chi accetta queste caratteristiche ed una visione di qualità buona ma non ottima in luminosità e ampiezza di campo. Ed un prezzo relativamente elevato per le prestazioni reali. No se questi parametri fossero determinanti. Meglio allora il 70 mm stessa marca con ingrandimenti simili e maggiore facilità d'uso, ne posseggo uno con buona soddisfazione.

These have great optics and such brilliant views of the moon. My family was awed by the crisp images of shadows across the rims of lunar craters. One needs a tripod for viewing. The zoom function is terrific. One can spot a feature zoomed out, then get all the details zoomed in. I find these far better than entry level telescopes.
