If you use it with a Tripod it is a Great Binocular. Without a Tripod you can use for 15-20 minutes, after that your arms will hurt. The Tripod adapter provided needs to be filled with Araldite, as it is made of plastic and cannot bear the weight of the Binocular.

what you can see is spectacular,looking at the branches of a distant tree there is a 3d effect that puts you there like you are a bug,seeing it by sitting on a leaf amongst the branches,very cool.looking at the moon you can truly see that it's a sphere,not a flat circle,the naked eye sees,once

Close Focus; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction; Very nice well made; Works Well With Glasses

But as advertised; Hard to hold steady

I use this for planetary viewing and star grazing with a specialized binocular mount. Venus' crescent popped right out as did Jupiter's moons...and I look forward to many a night of viewing the planets and some deep-sky objects.

I bougth this one to take it with me to the ballpark and it's an excellent product.

Great product. I do recommend a tripod for star gazing.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Giant Celestron 15x70 Skymaster Binoculars offer state-of-the-art technology, phenomenal performance and all at an incredible price. Designed for astronomical viewing, SkyMaster binoculars bring star fields, Jupiter and its moons, Saturn's rings, and globular star clusters into clear view,...

Strong construction, good optics, very good durable item. These binos hit the sweet spot and can be hand-held or tripod mounted. Theses binos make for a very good portable viewing instrument. Well worth the price I paid.

You'll notice on the photo that it has a base with a pressure nipple, which functions as a type of spring washer. That is the reason why I filled in the bottom cavities on the Skymaster adaptor, to prevent the nipple getting ripped off as the adaptor get screwed on. Excellent value for money.

These binoculars are great big wonderful things. I don't mind lugging them with me up the mountains to get the great views. I also don't really need to climb up the mountains anymore, since I can see the top from way down here. The moon looks fantastic, awooooo.
