My objective: to have a good, small, and not too expensive observing device that I could take in the jeep and not worry about. These fit that bill perfectly and the zoom feature gives me extra magnafication! The optics perform better then I would have expected at this price, Thanks to Celestron! As far as sky observation, I can see the Orion Nebula nicely. It is always best to use a tripod with ALL Binoculars, but even more so at higher magnifactions (these are 10-30 Mag).I wear glasses so I wish the eye-relief distance was a little longer but that would be a lot to ask of a device in this price range and 14mm isn't bad.Overall, I am really happy with this purchase.[...]Nice!

I was looking for an inexpensive pair of zoom binoc's for a backup. For[$]my expectations regarding construction werent too high. They were packed well, but didnt arrive in working condition. Broken zoom, loose parts and internal moisture. The customer service/return policy is TOP NOTCH! No hassles and fairly quick service. I would definetly buy from binoculars.com in the future, but will just spend a bit more for a higher quality product.

      Comments about Celestron UpClose 10-30x50mm Zoom Binoculars:

      I wanted a pair of all-round binoculars, which is why I went for the zoom feature. This works fairly well, although you won't be able to focus on anything closer than 15 yards. They're about as dim as should be expected in this price range.

      After only a few uses, however, these binoculars are practically useless. At 10x they still work fairly well, but zoom in to 30x and the view becomes misaligned to a degree that your eyes simply cannot compensate for. In addition, it is not possible to focus both eyes at the same time, regardless of the diopter setting. They have not experienced any blunt trauma (e.g. being dropped on the ground) above normal handling.

      I am very disappointed with these binoculars, and wouldn't recommend them to anyone. The build quality is obviously much lower than you'd expect, even at this price level.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Celestron UpClose 10-30x50mm Zoom Binoculars:

        First of all I had obtained (and returned) a defective item therefore my review can be biased a little.1. [...]I wonder why there is no any outgoing inspection of the items because the zoom lever in my item clearly did not pull the left eyepiece.2. The item has rather good optics but its zoom feature is non-functional: you would barely see more details at 30x than in 10x because of low-quality image and shaky hands at 30x. Add also unstable focus and "wearable" construction. So I recommend to look for the same model without zoom, that is Celestron Up Close 10x50: it is cheaper and lighter, has twice as large field of view and robust construction. Or buy more expensive binocular with native 30x magnification and tripod.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

            Customer Q & A

            1 - 5 of 9
                1   2      

            Q1: Would the "UpClose 10-30x50 Zoom" be appropriate for amateur bird watching?

            A: This is an excellent scope for more general use. i would suggest something more along the lines of an 8x40 as it will have a more stable image and offer a wider field of view.

            Q2: Does this binolcular use BAK-4 prisms?

            A: They use a BAK-7 in these.

            Q3: Are these binoculars of good enough quality for hunting purposes?

            A: They will be OK for hunting But for that purpose specifically I suggest getting a fixed power as it will be etter optically, something like the bushnell H2O 10x42's

            Q4: are these binoculars compact?

            A: No, these are actually a full size binocular. The easiest way to tell if it is a compact binocular is the number after the X (10-30x50) is the diameter of the objective lens 28 or smaller is considered a compact.

            Q5: are celestron binos 10-30+50 BAK 4 OR bk 7 optics tell me

            A: Celestron's 10-30x50 UpClose ZOOM binoculars have BK-7 prisms.
