Celstron 25 x 70 vs 15 x 70

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2016

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

I own both the Celestron 15x70 and 25x70 binoculars. After comparing both here is WHAT I'VE COME UP WITH:

Both binoculars excel and have a clear crisp view. The optics are truly amazing at this price point! I did have to send back a set of the 25x70's due to interior dust being seen as I looked through them, but Amazon sent me a new pair no problem. Both binoculars use the same body. The 25x70's are a touch shorter (1/4 inch) in length due to shortening of the Ocular (eye) to the Objective lens distance. The 25x70's also have a larger Ocular lens due to the increased magnification. Both binoculars need a tripod (especially the 25x70's which are more effected by shaking). GET A 70" or greater TRIPOD! I have a 60" tripod and I'm a short5'5" but when something is near 90 degrees over your head the "60 height of the tripod won't cut it.

I posted an example of the magnification and the Field of View difference between the 15x70 (1st Pic) and the 25x70 (2nd Pic). As you can see the 25x70 gives you a greater MAGNIFICATION but the trade off is the FIELD OF VIEW which is greater with the 15x70's. The actual views through the bino's are sharper as the cellphone doesn't do it justice.

LOOKING AT OBJECTS: In looking a celestial objects the MOON totally fills the frame with the 25x70's. The 4 Galilean moons of JUPITER (yes you can seem) look great in both set of binos. Another thing I love to look at are AIRPLANES. With the use of a tripod I was able to see and follow JETS at 35,000 ft. IT IS A MARVEL! The 25x70's work well here as I can read the writing on the planes.

MY RECOMMENDATION: I would choose the 25x70's. The 25x70's are $3 more so why not go for more magnification. The wider field of view on the 15x70's does allow a better "hand-held" experience but you are still going to need a tripod for celestial viewing no matter which bino's you buy.

ALSO: Both the 25x70 and the 15x70 come with a tripod adapter but I'd upgrade to a METAL one as these binos are heavy. The Barska adapter is metal with a larger rubber tightening screw and is only $8 (see photo). I'd also get some Field Optics Research Binocular EyeShields ($14) to help keep out peripheral light in daytime viewing (see photo).

Galilean Moons

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2019

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

Jupiter at opposition and I really wanted to see the Galilean moons with my own eyes. Tried the HF $20 10x50 binos and the optics just aren’t good enough for planets. I have a decent tripod so I decided to go for the 25x70. Attached picture shows the 4 moons, a bit fuzzier than it should be since I was holding my phone by hand. The 25x70 really needs to be used with a tripod. Also the Barska mount is very good, much better than the one included. If you already have a tripod, get an upgraded mount and you’ll be happy with the 25x70.

Enjoyable and Reasonably-priced Binoculars

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

My interest in enjoying long-distance viewing, both terrestrial and celestial, had been on the rise as of late. So I decided to do some checking. The telescope that interested me looked to be well-suited to this activity, but I realized that I'd have to purchase a mount and tripod, at the least, and possibly some other accessories (lens, etc.). This, I figured, was going to run at least $500; not an amount I was ready to invest.

So as my research progressed, specifically in the direction of binoculars, I came across this Celestron SkyMaster 25 x 70mm binoculars. Touted as appropriate for both celestial and terrestrial viewing, especially given the less-than-$100 price tag, the binoculars seemed to me to be a good fit: not a huge investment and would also be a significant step up from my current binoculars. And the price was about 1/3rd that of the 25 x 100mm while still, in my opinion, providing a decent long-distance viewing experience.

I've had these binoculars for about a month now and I have to say that I really do enjoy them.

I should note that I ordered and use the "Barska Binocular Tripod Adapter" instead of the one that came with the binoculars. (Other reviewers recommended this upgrade due to the Barska seemingly being a bit sturdier than the one that came with the binoculars.)

In any event, I already had a modest tripod that is working well enough for me, although the little, almost imperceptible shake that occurs is quite obvious when looking at airplanes, satellites and other celestial objects. Still, I'm not disappointed with my setup.

Now, with these binoculars I can see Jupiter, and at least two of her moons, Saturn, including the "ring," and, of course, many stars. In fact, aiming the binoculars in an area that seems void of stars when viewed with the naked eye reveals even more stars and whatnot. And the view of the moon is spectacular.

Passing airplanes stand out with these binoculars. And while I've yet to actually read lettering on planes (they're usually at an altitude of 35,000-plus feet, moving at 500MPH or so, and miles downrange), I can clearly detect planes' colorations, engines, winglets, etc. What fun!

For terrestrial viewing, again these binoculars provide me a good look.

The only thing I could say that would be even remotely critical would be this: trying to accurately aim the binoculars without the aid of a "finding scope," especially at very distant objects, is challenging. Some times I actually get it right, but most times not. This is especially true of fast-moving objects (satellites, planes, etc.) But this isn't a "problem" with the binoculars, but rather one aspect to consider when using/purchasing such high-powered binoculars.

Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. I find the binoculars came usable and in great shape right out of the box.

Improper collimation!

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

I am so done with Celestron, I have bought two telescopes from them one of which arrived with a broken leg and the other with a broken computer system, then this garbage pair of binoculars and countless accessories. I don't know if they buy their reviews or what, but their products are overpriced and cheaply made in China. These particular binoculars were not collimated correctly, and even experienced users wont be able to use these properly. I called up Celestron and like always, they first chalk it up to user error, they take weeks to respond to emails and have difficult customer service hours. I talked to an optics expert who figured out my celestron product was broken in under 3 minutes and they still refuse to take any blame saying it must've been damaged. They barely read emails describing the problem and spend as much time as possible answering them to run out your warranty. I detest this company and even have a colleague that knows the CEO of Celestron who couldn't explain their behavior.

Good binoculars for the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2018

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

I bought these (25x70) to give that little extra oomph when stargazing, having bought a pair of 15x70s last year..
The first thing I would point out is that the 25 x magnification magnifies the slightest movement, so if you intend using them for astronomy for more than a couple of minutes you'll really need to mount them to a tripod. I've been using my camera tripod, and it's more than adequate
A tripod adaptor is included, it's plastic and reasonably sturdy, but for a more stable image it's worth buying a metal one, I bought a good solid one on here for £6 and it's much better.
I've been using the binoculars most evenings this week, Jupiter and its four main moons and Saturn and its rings are clearly visible through them. OK, they're binoculars, not the Hubble, and the aforementioned planets are only very small in the field of vision, but you can see them nonetheless. I think I was able to make out the stripes across Jupiter on a really clear night last week, but that may just have been wishful thinking on my part.
Naturally they can't match the image I obtain from my 4 "refractor telescope either, but they're much easier to set up and use and ideal for short viewing sessions when lugging out the telescope would be just too much hassle.
They're pretty good for terrestrial viewing too, but bear in mind the closest focusing distance is 75ft, ideal for planes overhead and ships at sea, but not for birds at the bottom of your garden unless your garden is 75ft long or more.
I like the look and feel of these binoculars, and I'm very pleased I bought them.

BE CAREFUL if you're into astronomy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2018

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

Huge magnification for mere binoculars at a reasonable price, BUT - because the magnification is large you WILL need to mount them on a tripod as it is IMPOSSIBLE to view anything adequately with even a small amount of vibration. Also, the high magnification creates a very narrow field of view, kind of like what you'd expect from a telescope. So if you're interested in astronomy, either get a telescope for better stability and even larger magnification OR get a much smaller pair of binoculars for wider field of view and less disturbance from vibration. I can't really see what purpose these binoculars serve - although they are quite good for terrestrial viewing I suppose.

Disappointing in every way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2020

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

I went on a cruise last year to the Norwegian Fjords and loved it - apart from the fact that all the time I was wishing I had better binoculars. So as soon as I got home I treated myself to a pair of Olympus Binocular 10 x 50 DPS binoculars (see previous review). The Olympus binoculars are superb, but they made me want something more powerful for sky gazing, so I bought this pair (+ tripod).

I shouldn't have bothered - very disappointed with them and even with a tripod it is not easy to focus as there is still some shake, just putting your eyes to the lenses. I see far more using the Olympus binoculars.

A mistake, just proving that even at my advancing years, we can still live and learn! Should have stuck with what I had.

Very good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2019

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

These are my first astronomy binoculars, I read some lengthy reviews elsewhere, so knew what to expect.
The day they arrived, the previous few days of clear skies ended with total cloud cover and rain, but the following night I was able to take a look at Jupiter and see the four main moons, as clearly as hoped for. There was a near full moon and I was able to see the full disc of the moon filling my eyepiece, and some lovely views of craters especially along the terminator, then a look upwards to the stars, seeing hundreds of previously invisible stars.
The view is just as good as expected, and although the binos are light, its almost impossible to hold them steady, especially for looking at planets, and a tripod is definitely necessary. I used the included binocular mount to attach them to my camera tripod, its a decent tripod, which I weighted down, but I still got wobble from the lightest of touch when aiming and focusing. I am now looking for a stronger/heavier tripod.
The included case (no padding or zip), neck strap, and lens cloth are poor quality, presumably to keep the price down, I have replaced all with better stuff so I can look after the binos properly.
The front lens caps are ok, but the rear lens cap isnt fit for purpose, its a single cap covering both lenses and does not stay in place, for now Im using the nasty neck strap that came with the binos, tied on to hold the rear lens cap in place, until I find a better lens cap(s).
To sum up, the binoculars are excellent, the included extras are rubbish, but I think I got value for money.

Fine if they are aligned, no support on alignment!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2020

Style: SkyMaster 25x70 BinocularConfiguration: BinocularVerified Purchase

Really disappointing that they were completely unbalanced so you see a double image. If there were instructions provided on balancing the 70 mm lenses instead of warning you against void of warranty after making adjustments it would have been an easy fix, it is well documented on how easily they can become misaligned but the advice on fixing them is amateur YouTube videos from people correcting the prisms instead of adjusting the lenses, resulting in decreased image quality for acceptable alignment. Fine for looking at ships a few miles away but useless for looking at the night sky.
