I bough these to replace my older Meade and Exakta binoculars which require collimation now (image from 2 lenses don't overlap anymore so all objects appear double). Celestron Outland provides great images during day observations (landscape, birds) and when looking at night sky (nice view of moon, can see more stars and some nebulas).
Pros:
- impressive optics with great clarity
- compact size for its 10x42 magnification and field of view
- long eye relief, good field of view (315 ft at 1000 yds)
- adjustable 2.25"-3.0" distance between eyes, suitable for many face sizes
- eye caps are attached via straps and don't get loose
- focusing wheel adjusts focus at must faster rate than on other binoculars, so only slight turn in wheel is usually enough to set focus and fine adjustment takes just couple seconds
- I've seen these binoculars in a local store where they underwent months/years of wear-n-tear and abuse by testers and they still have nice overall look and lenses still stay aligned so images for both eyes overlap fine for nice 3D picture.
Other:
- 2 sets of straps - one for carrying case and one for binoculars
- small microfiber cleaning cloth included (removes dust and fingerprint smudged)
- soft neoprene carrying case is think but it's just a soft case so I'd not drop binoculars to the bottom of 10+ lbs backpack along with other stuff.
