  • A review of the Celestron Outland X 10x42 binoculars and their suitability for birdwatching. We have been using these Celestron binoculars on our safari tours, so the review is a combination of my own use for wildlife and bird watching as well as those of our guests.
    EDIT: The binoculars are multi-coated, and not fully multi-coated.
    We have covered the Celestron Outland X 10x42 binoculars in this review. Link to article for comparison of the other models in Celestron Outland X series: www.shashankbirla.com/celestr...

    Hey, Shashank! Thanks so much for this review. I've been looking for a binocular for a few months now and I, finally got to make a decision after watching this video! I'm gonna get one of those for me. Best regards from Brazil!

    Thx for this insightful video Shashank. For a newbie who is buying his first binoculars it was much needed. I have zeroed down to Celestron Outland X 10x42 but unfortunately I can't find it at any of the offline stores in Bombay to try and feel them. Should I take a leap of faith & buy them directly? I need it for birdwatching purposes at National Parks in the US. And would buying from US in that case make more sense?

    • @ShashankBirla
      @ShashankBirla  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can certainly buy the Celestron Outland X online, just be sure to check the product thoroughly once received so there are no lens alignment issues. You will actually have greater choice in the USA, and at good prices, so I will suggest to buy in the USA if more of your use is going to be there.

    Good evening, sir! Thank you so much for reviewing the binoculars! I ordered myself from aliexpress exactly the same model Celestron-8x25! Sir please tell me how the image quality is(in the center and at the edge of the field of view)--the picture is not soapy around the edge or a little? Thanks!

    The swarovski EL 8.5 x 42 is a beast for bird watching. Thats the benchmark :) Having said that, my wife uses a celestron 8 x 25 for casual nature viewing while on safari and she is really happy with it.

      Swarovski optics are an absolute dream buy for any passionate birdwatcher and you can scarcely get a better experience viewing birds, however they are quite a bit heavy on the wallet 😀 And yes, the Celestron 8X25 is a good all-purpose travel binocular, happy to hear your wife has a good experience using them!

I didnt have it imported like my swaro or my hawke compact spotting scopes..

      @@subhrobhattacharya1077 Fantastic to hear you have got Bresser-Pirsch binoculars, again an excellent brand providing great optics. Not surprised they are outperforming the Celestron outland pocket, as I believe the compact Bresser-Pirsch would have higher specifications (including coating) compared to the Celestron Outland Pocket, and may be a bit higher in price as well. Great choice and Happy Birding!

    Hello, the comparison is great, I bought a 10x42 green Outland from Amazon in 2016, now I bought it from Aliexpress, it looks the same, but there is no popping sound when I turn the eyes and lift it up! What do you think? Is the green Outland 10x42 I bought from Aliexpress fake???

      The best is in the eye of the beholder :) The Solognac 500 8x42 binoculars are a good value buy and quite popular in India, most birders find it a good budget roof-prism binocular to start with. Personally, haven't used them much so can't comment on how their field performance.

      Hi Arjun, though Pentax is a well-known brand in optics, I have not had an opportunity to test this model. Also, the price seems to be higher than the starting range of roof prism binoculars so might not be a fair comparison with the Celestron Outland X series which is more of a budget range :)

    • @ShashankBirla
      @ShashankBirla  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      SD and HD are terms which are not clearly defined for binoculars (various manufacturers have a different interpretation of HD). Typically, the use of terms is more in electronics that offer video resolution (Full HD is the equivalent of 1080p). For binoculars, it is advisable to check the type of glass and coating to define the quality of image you can get while viewing through the binoculars.

      It is a good budget buy, not many roof-prism binoculars in that price range. I have not personally used them, but have friends who have, and they have mentioned they are satisfied with the results for the price. As shared, because I haven't used the Solognac binoculars, can't compare to Nikon Aculon A211, which are quite popular and are a very good buy in the porro prism design.
