Celestron 71133 UpClose 10x25 Roof Prism Binocular Review
Compact, light-weight, low cost binoculars and at 10x they are great for action sports, vacationing, nature viewing, wildlife observing or various other activities. There are rubber covered for protection and ease of handling but the body is only designated as "water resistant" so be cautious around groundwater or getting caught too long in the rain. Only a few minuses according to users...the neck string is felt to be very thin and the attachment to the binoculars is of some concern....there are also no lens protectors so you might consider buying a set to protect the lenses.
Celestron 71133 UpClose 10x25 Roof Prism Binocular Compact Slip it on your pocket and go... measures 2.8 inches x 4.4 inches x 1.7 inches." Good Optics Work well even in even in low light conditions. Features and Specifications:

Amazon Customer Score: There are 20+ reviews on Amazon "For the money, this cheap-o set of binoc's is damn good. I compared them to the Nikons ($65), the Meades, the Bushnell's and a few others. I wanted something nice and small for concerts but didnt want a piece of junk that I'd hate to look through. These binoc's have a metal focusing plate on top, smooth and tight focusing center-roller, heavy rubber covered lens barrels and they're very light. they have adjustable eye pieces for those with difference prescription eyes/contacts/glasses" "Just received today, are perfect for the money ($12.88). I like the rubber coating that makes them seemingly more durable and weather resistant" "I mainly chose these binoculars because of price point, size. The positive reviews gave me some confidence in the quality and Celestron is perhaps best know for their telescopes, so I did not think they would be that bad. The glass is rated BK-7 which is not the best but is very good. To Focus the binoculars you close your right eye and adjust the center focus adjustment while looking through the binoculars with you left eye. Once adjusted; close your left eye and adjust the Diopter (near the eyepiece) while looking through the binoculars with your right eye. Then you got it. Once you have done this; you should just be able to adjust the center focus depending on the objects distance. The 10X magnification is great with slightly steady hands. My wife was also impressed with the quality feel of this binocular. I do not recommend if you wear glasses, as the eye relief is extremely close (about 10mm?). They have a better optical quality and construction than a Tasco and Simmons binocular brand I own. I would say the optical clarity is impressive for the cost of this set. 10x magnification in a fairly small size. Water resistant. Great optical quality. Replaceable cost if lost, stolen or damaged. A GREAT value that will magnify your surroundings, Without breaking your bank account. I do not regret my purchase and certainly recommend. I'm actually trying to purchase another set." "This is good for close range in bright day light , however its very dim even before dark and with long distances , may be more than 3 to 4 hundred meters it is soft and your eyes will cause you a headache." Retrevo Customer Score: There are 4+ reviews on Retrevo ""The average user rating from pricegrabber.com is 80 out of 100..." Conclusion These compact binoculars are good bang for the buck with good optics and users say ther are durable. Keep in mind they are weather resistant.
