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 10×42 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.

These are the binoculars I carry when I kayak, canoe, or raft. They’ve been in and under water in the far North Pacific, the Atlantic, the fjords of Southern Chile, Lakes Superior, Ontario, Kabetogama, Yellowstone, and a lot of smaller ones, as well as deep under the Green River and the Colorado River. They’re still completely functional. Good optics, good feel in the hand. If you have any interest in bird-watching from a boat, these are what you need. And the price is decent. One word of advice, based on experience; stick to Nikon, Canon, and Celestron, and avoid Bushnell like the plague.

Really good quality binocular with features found in very expensive models. The eye caps stay attached, via hinged straps. I wear glasses and like the fact the eye cups rotate out of position and don’t just fold over. I am very impressed with the clarity of the optics. I also have a pair of Steiner Marine binoculars for use while we’re sailing. These fill the bill for high quality, toss in the suitcase, keep in the car, use everyday binoculars.
No downsides at all.

I was initially happy with these binoculars. However, after a short, easy hike in the woods, I took the binoculars out of my pack, opened the case and noticed that the diopter (I think that’s the correct term; in other words, the Right eye piece, with the one-side focus adjustment) was not attached to the body of the binoculars. I assumed that someone in my household had unscrewed it and didn’t put it back on. So, I put it back on and the binoculars worked fine. After a bit more walking, I again took the binoculars out of my pack, took them out of the case, and again the right eyepiece was detached from the binoculars. After screwing it back on, I very gently, with mild pressure, tugged the eye piece, and it popped right off. The threads for screwing it on/off were in good shape, but the entire eye piece would pop on and off quite easily. It simply felt cheap, and made me question how actually waterproof these are. I returned these recently. I’m not sure if I received a defective pair, or if there’s a design flaw with the Outland.

But not as good as I had hoped it would be. Probably wouldn’t buy it again.
