Celestron Upclose G2 8x40 Details

This model within the Celestron Upclose series combines the popular 8x magnification with the good light gathering potential of 40-millimeter objective lenses. This combination produces a versatile binocular that is comfortable to carry, performs best at close to mid range distances and which you can be sure won't let you down when light conditions are not ideal. Thus this model will suit outdoor pursuits such as bird watching, hunting and general nature or wildlife observation and they will excel in areas as diverse as thick forests or woods to places like your back garden and other urban environments.
As with most of the other models within the Upclose range, the eye relief is perfectly adequate for non-eyeglass wearers, however, should you need to wear glass whilst using your binoculars, the 12mm may not be sufficient. Instead, take a look at the Celestron Outland X 8x42 binoculars that offer 18mm of eye relief.

About Celestron UpClose Binoculars

Extremely affordable Celestron UpClose series offers binoculars for a different use, among which are also two zoom models with adjustable magnifications for finest details without the need to move to another location. You can choose between the smallest binoculars on the market with 8x21 configuration and large 20x50 configuration for nighttime observations. You can take them with you on sports events, concerts, when hiking, huntingbirdwatching or looking at the night sky for stars, comets, planets etc. The smallest model has a roof prism design and larger has a Porro prism design that helps to enhance light transmission. UpClose binoculars are multi-coated, using BK7 glass and splash-proof that protects them in damp areas and are equipped with central focusing mechanism instead of the individual. 

Basic Features

UpClose binoculars are made out of extremely durable aluminum housing that helps to protect them against impacts together with rubber armoring. Small dimensions that make them compact also help with easier portability and comfortable handling, even when using them for longer periods of time. UpClose binoculars are splash-proof, which means they aren’t waterproof and fog-proof but are still durable and tight enough to prevent damage when used in the damp areas. Fully sized models are also tripod adaptable which allows you to mount them on a tripod and get steadier images.

Optical Properties

UpClose series offers binoculars for different kinds of use. Depending on the power and objective lens diameter, you can choose between fixed or zoom configuration. The zoom binoculars allow you to make power adjustments – changing magnification without the need to change the position. The Porro prism system of bigger fully sized models draws in more light and allows you to gather enough brightness even in the low-light conditions which are extremely convenient for astronomy observations. BK7 prisms and multi-coated system also help to enhance brightness, contrast, and colors without major distortions and reflections. They are equipped with central focusing mechanism and left-eye diopter to make proper adjustments. Foldable eyecups have a 12mm eye-relief so it’s suggested to try them on if you are eyeglass wearer. 

Accessories

UpClose binoculars come in a case for storage and protection with a binocular strap. They are also equipped with objective lens covers and eyecups covers to protect the lenses, however, they’re only included in bigger models, not in smaller roof prism models.
