I do not care what product you purchase from them, if it has any sort of problem and you try to contact Celestron YOU WILL BE SORRY! They have put me on hold each time I have called to find out why they have had my C65 spotting scope for over two months and since they do not have an 800 number I gave up after waiting over an hour and had to pay that phone bill myself. Forget about email, because when you try to send them one you type all of your information in and try to submit it and you are told that your email was not submitted and you are transfered to their knowledge base to try to find out an answer to your problem, even though the company is the problem. I have tried to requeste that I have my scope returned so that I can send the piece of junk back to the comany I purchased it from for a refund but it is like trying to talk to CD player, I can’t get it back and they won’t talk to me so it looks like I through away $70.00 + dollars on nothing. Take my advice, stay as far away form their merchandise as possible.

The binoculars arrived with collimation problems. Still, allowing for the slight double vision, I expected to have at least a clear view, but the darn things were not as clear as my cheap-o Tasco’s. Like looking through haze. The one star was for Amazon’s great return policy. I give these things a -1! They would make a great boat anchor. These reviews giving these binoculars high praise must be from a bunch of drunks!!

Easy to use, very good view of the Moon. Can see 4 moons of Jupiter. 1 moon of Saturn. However binoculars shake even when on a tripod,when my face nudges them or I touch them with my hands. The shake makes it difficult to get the satisfaction of observing things for some time…

Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15×70 Binoculars w/Tripod Adapter

I purchased on of these and all you can say about it that is correct is it us large, but 15 times is hardly any magnification and I doubt if these binoculars have that much, plus adjustment are hard to adjust or either broken and you cannot adjust; also made in China and hard to get replacement and returning a object is like wishing you had never done business with this product. I have camera’s with more magnification that are not a 15X70. Think about this one before you buy it.
