Review on πŸ”­ Celestron UpClose G2 10-30x50 Zoom Porro Binocular - Black by Anand John ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

What did I pay for? The product is a complete failure.

1) x10 - clear, closer to x30 - so far it has not been possible to achieve clarity. a) so fixed x10 binoculars cost 2-3 times cheaper. 2) At a house 600 meters away from me, there is an ordinary satellite dish - a dish. At x10, I see a plate, what is written on it and in what color - I don’t see it. The same goes for x30. Well, it's like a zoom 3 times more than x10, so why is there no difference (except for the fact that at x30 the picture is not clear)? I understand that they are made in China. But the brand is something like an American and specializing in optics. At the same time, Ali has the same noname analogue of 3 times cheaper and with the same packaging. I can't sleep now, thinking that I bought noname 3 times more expensive, where they just slapped the Celestron nameplate. There are pictograms on the box that can be used for a) bird watching, b) wild animals, c) football players, d) in the mountains. The last - I have no doubt, because the mountains are not mobile. c) if only the players are in formation. If they run - at x10 it is already visible without binoculars, at x30 - I doubt it very much. b) if the color matches the background of nature, then you may not see it at all. In addition, if you look to enjoy their view - it is unlikely to work with such a low definition at x30. a) Well, what should be the size of the birds at a distance of 500 m for x30? And at x10 I already see them without binoculars (literally - almost in the same size and detail).

Pros
  • tripod adapter thread
Cons
  • 1) One plug per eyepiece keeps falling off. Given that it is not tied to binoculars in any way, as in other models - until the first exit into a field or forest - and look for it. 2) there are burrs on some details - as if they were done on the knee. 3) the first glance after opening - there is some kind of artifact in the lens. 4) put on a tripod, do not touch. At max x30 the picture trembles. Why did it happen?
