Review: Good Quality for the priuce. - I am giving them a 5 for the price very good. I was plane spotting and at 39000 feet you could see the markings on the aircraft. Good grip and lightweight and easy to focus on objects. Took a little bit to set up but pleased overall. Objects appear very clear and plenty of light coming through so objects are clear. Easy to fit into my small rucksack for transport.
Review: Quality at a keen price. - I have just received these binoculars from UKHobbystore on desertcart. it took only 3 days from order to receipt with free delivery. Many thanks Having a Celestron telescope and pleased with the quality I thought I would go for their binoculars as a) They were competitively priced and b) The good reviews. I could have gone cheaper (and in some cases more expensive) for a little known or unbranded pair but I thought I would play safe. The binoculars come with a soft nylon type case with a strap and a thin nylon strap for the binoculars themselves. There are 4 lens caps the smaller ones being plastic (or hard rubber) the larger ones are a soft rubber material, a lens cloth and a simple instruction pamphlet. (multi-lingual) The performance of the binoculars themselves are excellent. Producing crisp images with no corona, double or blurring associated with prism misalignment. Both the central and dioptre (right eye piece) focusers are easy to use and the binoculars are surprisingly light. I am looking forward to using them for my astronomical observations. I have knocked a star off as the large rubber lens caps are extremely loose fitting and the slightest jolt sees them falling off. I will have to be careful about this although I feel that as I am taking them out of the case they will come off anyway

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these ok for spectacle wearers**
A: The eye relief is only 12mm so, even with the eye-cups folded down, you will not be able to see the entire field of view with spectacles.

**Q: Can the celestron up close or up close G2 be mounted on a tripod, if they can what tripod is required**
A: Yes they can be mounted on a tripod. Its very easy to do. I would recommend the metal 90degree bracket ro attach them to a tripod rather than the plastic one. As for the tripod, I bought a £22 from Asda which is fine. Obviously the better quality the more sturdy they will be.

**Q: Does this one have porro prism or roof prism? description says roof all the time.**
A: To be honest I don’t know the difference or meaning between Porro/Roof prism but what I do know is: I have got the porro type & are very good, easy to carry around. Excellent for site seeing & bird watching

**Q: Would these be a little too heavy for an 8 year old?  I'm undecided between these and what seems to be a stock recommendation of the 7x50's.**
A: I would say in all honesty that they would be borderline, but I think the 7 x 50s would not be much different...I would say 8 x 40s would be better. The magnification would not be too different and the light gathering a little reduced. However the smaller size and weight difference would make them very usable for an 8 year old.
