Questions & Answers

JOHN A : What is a good tripod to use? The manual says to use a heavy duty tripod. Is it sufficient if I look for a tripod that is rated for 51 oz, the weight of the binoculars?
imad a : Is the tripod adaptor included? thanksRUSSELL C : Yes, it is.RAFAELA V : Yes, it is.TARAS B : Yes, tripod adapter is included.ERIC J : Yes. It was included when I purchased mine.Rick S : Yes there is an adaptor included and I use it witha Vivitar tripod works just fine.DENNIS S : Yes it is.CRAIG D : The tripod adapter is included. But I have found that using a tripod is more of an inconveneince than a help. You may, on the other hand, be pleased to have the adapter for that purpose. SUSAN F : Yes, the tripod adapter is included. We looks at stars and planets with our binoculars and a tripod is necessary to eliminate movement, but we are very happy with them.RAY K : The adaptor that is included screws on between the eyepieces. That adaptor has a threaed hole on bottom that will attach to the quick release connector (the quick relase connector has a screw) you find on most photography tripods. So the whole set-up is Binocular-tripod adaptor-quick release connector-tripod.
Rick S : I ordered a pair of these and when looking at the moon or other distant objects with these binoculars I am getting a double image. Both images are in focus so I would have to assume the collimation is out of adjustment. I'm not getting very far with Celestron on there support ?DENNIS S : Mine do not do that. Moon looks fine. If I brace against a pole, I can see crescent Venus (just barely). The center bearing is kind of loose, so the two barrels can rock to and fro, but it doesn't seem to affect the optical performance very much.Rick S : Thanks folks but this is not my first pair of binoculars I have owned. I know how to adjust them and trust me thats not the issue. No matter what I did I continued to see 2 images.The right eye image was always lower and to the right of the left eye image. The only way I could avoid seeing two images was by closing one eye. These were a great buy but not if they work like this. Anyway I have since contacted CELESTRON by phone and they instructed me to return them to them and they will ship another pair out to me in 30 working days. Not sure why the delay but anyway will see if the replacment pair is better if and when I get them. THANK YOU.RUDY L : Something must have moved in the shipment for mine was perfect and produced amazingly nice sights of the moon, when placed on a tripod. Almost as if you can reach out and touch it. Have you tried bending the binoculars to bring the image into focus?TARAS B : Here is a basic instruction on how to use binoculars. Some people do not realize that you need to adjust interpupillary distance by folding binoculars in and out until the distance between eye cups matches distance between your eyes. But if you already tried that then you may have deffective binoculars. My Celestron 15x70 are crisp when viewing moon and no douple images. Here is a basic instruction on how to use binoculars: EYE ADJUSTMENTS HOW TO ADJUST FOR DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR EYES The distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eye, follow these simple steps. 1. Hold your binocular in the normal viewing position. 2. Grasp each barrel firmly. Move the barrels closer together or further apart until you see a single circular field. Always re-set your binocular to this position before using. HOW TO ADJUST FOR INDIVIDUAL EYE STRENGTH As individual eyesight varies from one person to another, most Bushnell binoculars have a diopter setting feature which allows you to fine-tune the binocular to your vision. Follow the focusing instructions below for your type of binocular.
