 Pleasantly surprised June 19, 2010
Daniel R. Hansen (Saint Paul, Minnesota United States)
I purchased these after some research hoping for a good pair of bino's to go along with my scope. I have to say, they've exceeded my expectations. I use them for star-gazing and the views are truly wonderful. As others have noted, they're heavy. However, using a good camara tripod makes this not a problem.
Some people have complained about the collimation on the Celestrons, but mine came just about perfect out of the box. My only real complaint is that the tripod adapter is a bit flimsy. There are a few ways to take care of this, but simply filling the open cavities on it with epoxy will pretty much take care of any problems.That'll cost you about $4 in epoxy and 15 minutes of your time.
Again, these are really sweet bino's. I'm using them more than my scope now days. They're so handy and the viewing size really makes a difference.
I know there are better one's available out there, but for this price, you just can't go wrong.

Overall, a very good binocular. It is pretty much what I expected in terms of finish, clarity and weight. The company's description is pretty accurate.
My main use will be glassing from close proximity to a vehicle; I do not intend to pack it very far. So, the weight is not too much of an issue to me, heavier even, has an advantage in keeping the sight picture from shaking too much.
For those trying to pack this unit anywhere, or even in rougher vehicle transport, the case is minimal. Not really a complaint as the marketing literature promised no more. Just a note for those budget minded hikers or bikers that want to take powerfull glass with them: Double wrap or find a better form of protection for it.
An improvement from my perspective would be twofold. First, find a way to attach the tripod adapter without having to remove a screw on cover cap. I have no doubt that I will eventually lose this cover cap over time (knowing myself as I do). Second, the included tripod is cute and small, to the point of being of questionable value for my porposes. A window adapter would be much more useable. Otherwise, a full sized tripod would probably be OK for most.
The last issue I have is related to all above. The carring case has no accomadation for the tripod adapter or tripod. So again, knowing me as I know myself, I wouldn't be too surprised to find one or both of these accessories missing at some point.
Final recommendation is pending some prolonged field time. Isn't that the real test with binoculars? A few hours looking through them will really decide their value to me.
Great Value! August 21, 2009

I found these binoculars to give a clear and detailed area of focus. They are very large, but I can still use them when bird watching, although a good steady tripod should be used. I could see craters in detail on the moon and stars came into view that you could not see with the naked eye. I cannot afford the other brands but this BARSKA X Trail was well worth the money. The focus is steady and precise but the weight of the binoculars puts allot of stress on the adapter a longer and more precise screw socket would be helpful but being careful with it should keep the adapter from moving. The tripod is not very fancy but works.

Great deal for the money. No cheap parts. You will need a full size tripod with these as the are too heavy for star gazing.
 Best binoculars I own. January 22, 2009

I have binoculars from Nikon, Bushnell, and others. All my binoculars have shortcomings, none are perfect. But believe me, money will not buy better than this.
