Celestron Upclose G2 8X40 Porro Binocular

The Celestron 80x40 binocular is very good in quality. It feels heavy in the hands, which gives a solid and premium experience. Build quality is impressive for this price range. When I received it, both lenses were showing slightly different views. After checking online, I found that the big objective lens section might have gotten misbalanced during transportation. I opened the front assembly, adjusted it, and the alignment became perfect. Now both lenses show the same and very clear view, and the performance is excellent. Overall, this is a great product and worth the money. Highly recommended.

I'm really impressed with these binoculars! The image quality is crisp and clear, and the 10×50 configuration is perfect for observing distant objects. The build quality feels solid, and it's comfortable to hold and use. One thing to note is that the focuser and diopter adjustment can be a bit finicky, but once you get it dialed in, it's a breeze to use. The low-light performance is also surprisingly good, with images remaining bright and clear even in fading light. For the price, I think these binoculars are a steal. I've been using them to observe roads, buildings, and wildlife, and they've been a joy to use. If you're in the market for a budget-friendly binocular that can deliver, I'd definitely recommend giving these a look." *Pros:* - Great image quality - Comfortable to use - Good low-light performance - Excellent value for the price *Cons:* - Focuser and diopter adjustment can be a bit finicky -Slightly heavy -Watch out for the build quality, may not be to expectations, but I have it fine

The binoculars are mind blowing. Feels a bit heavy. Great product. Value for money. Range is very good. Very easy to use. Not compact though.

20x50 is not good in picture quality and all over all . Cheap china made quality.

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 give Amazon Packaging: 2 stars Seller care: 2 stars Celestron company packaging: 2 stars Binoculars 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 pupil 3. Poor Internal build 4. Not water proof The good things about celestron are 1. Budget friendly and good lenses 2. Good for professional use 3. Light weight (8×40 vs 10×50 huge difference) 4. No chromatic abberation. 5. Good external build 6. 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.

Awesome binaculars, Superb viewing range, amazing visual clarity, very handy to kids and adults. Must buy!

Good for bird watching , travel, game etc . Clear picture, good visibility. Weight is a damper for holding too long by hand

simply amazing, 10x is already quite enough for what i was looking for but 30x is like looking at birds in the eyes. mechanism is simple and intuitive, although at 30x, it feels a bit narrow in vision. its lightweight and easy to carry, but strap of the bag could have been longer. i wish it also had a tripod mount for extended use so that we can mount it on a monopod. build quality is quite good and it looks like it can handle rough usage in field. definitely recommended.
