The UpClose G2 10-30x50 Zoom Porro Binoculars from Celestron are large handheld binoculars with a very welcome integrated tripod thread. The 50-millimeter objectives are bountiful light gatherers allowing for bright images during low-light conditions such as dawn, dusk, and overcast days. The expansive zoom magnification sharpens the details as the subject is enlarged from the expansive scan of 10x to the minuscule precision of 30x. These are powerful binoculars that are just over the line of handheld practicality. Any support will come in handy; such as a car top, a fence, a tree, or the mast stay of a boat unless of course they are being leveraged with a tripod. Besides their all around usefulness for just about any application, their large aperture and high magnification are also suited for astronomical observation. A very welcomed Apparent Angle of View (AAoV) stretches past 65 degrees at 30x power. BAK7 glass with multi-coated optics dispenses brighter, sharper, higher contrasted images. The housing is water resistant, rubber coated, and made out of aluminum. There are ergonomic thumb indents and finger ridges for a firm, slip-proof grip even in inclement weather conditions. The large center focus knob will be especially appreciated in challenging, high-stress situations. A dioptric ring adjuster and fold down rubber eyecups customize the comfort level to individual preferences. The built-in tripod threaded screw hole is located underneath a protective cap. Use of a tripod allows for added stability and comfort especially when viewing at high powers.

These perform incredibly well for the price. From my home in NJ I can see in Manhattan, Brooklyn & Staten Island with pristine accuracy. Some of the things I can see that impressed me was the Barclays & Verrazano. It's unreal how powerful these are and again for that price, you can't beat that with a bat.

These are the higher end of the early entry binoculars. The images are clear and the zoom range offers good coverage of objects. I would describe these as near full size binoculars that come with their own strap and carry pouch. The eye cups and grip are comfortable.

Bought these Celestron G2 10-30 Zoom Binoculars to enhance the view of the city we have living on the side of a mountain. After prompt delivery from B&H tried them out, and no matter how they were adjusted and stabilized could not get a clear image, so they were sent back. B&H recommended the Nikon Aculon A211 zooms which are significantly better and yes more expensive but worth the price.
Had a couple and given as a gift too. Had a set of 10x50, but it was hard to find things, so zoom really helps. Similar Nikon Aculon 10-22x50 is clearer, more wether/fog/glare resistant, and keeps better focus while zooming, but the Celestron is 1/4 the cost and works fine. Nikon has a lower zoom range (22 vs 30x), but 30x is fine for finding things before zooming in. There are cheaper, nearly identical copies. I've seen a few in stores and they were all cloudy and poorly collimated (misaligned).
The Celestron Up Close G2 10-30x50 are very nice binoculars for the price. Having the ability to zoom on binoculars is not very common in my experience and makes these binoculars that much more special. Everything about these binoculars feels and seems quality. I haven't had them very long, but so far they are holding up to light use extremely well. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a good pair of binoculars.
Celestron UpClose G2 10 - 30 x 50 Binoculars Black 10 - 30 x 50 mmSelect a rating below★★★★★★★★★☆★★★☆☆★★☆☆☆★☆☆☆☆Your reviewThey are of a good solid construction and look the part. However when the zoom is employed beyond 20% they go out of focus and become fuzzy. The only time they are in focus is when they are zoomed out, which incidentally when compared to my other four binoculars they appear to be approximately only 7 X 50, but at that setting they are crystal clear and absolutely in fine focus. Sorry guys, you need to step up to meet your advertising claims.
I met Celestron through photography and know they make good glass. When I decided to upgrade my standard 7 X 35 binoculars I looked at several manufacturers including Celestron. Their reputation may have given them an edge, but the reviews supported that well. For the price they are a solid feeling, good quality, easy to use instrument. Contrary to what some reviewers have said, these binoculars are neither too heavy or too powerful to be hand-held. They have a very solid tripod mount if you want to have a stable platform. (You can either buy or make an adapter to mount it.) They work well and produce a sharp bright image. However there were two features that were disappointing, hence the 4 instead of 5 rating, and had I paid more I would expect more. The binocular ...

However there were two features that were disappointing, hence the 4 instead of 5 rating, and had I paid more I would expect more. The binocular strap was cheap and not worthy the glasses. I had an extra camera strap that worked perfectly. The case strap was not only fashioned illogically, but it had a twist in it as well. A few minutes of ripping stitches and re-stitching produced the strap that SHOULD have been on the case. Had I not been familiar with Celestron quality I would have questioned optics that came with such cheap and cheaply made accessories. I think Celestron would do well to invest a little more in better quality materials and manufacture of these components. The case itself is fine; heavy nylon, slightly padded and neither dust nor moisture proof.
I wasn't expecting this to be a very good as this has a cheap prize. However, lens are clear and zooming is good as well. This is actually better than my celestron nature monocularPrize of this has been increased after I made the purchase (for $59)
Excellent product. Lived up to its description. I would recommend this particular model to travelliers & campers alike.
