Seeing is believing! Celestron's Ultima Series has always been one of the most highly respected binoculars, combining superb optics, quality construction, and affordability. The newly-redesigned Ultima DX Series is an even better value in a superbly crafted porro prism binocular for the outdoor enthusiast.

The Ultima DX Series features new design improvements such as a waterproof body, shock-resistant rubber covering, and twist-up eyecups. They provide superb image quality with BAK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics. Ultima DX are super lightweight for their aperture size and all have long eye relief for comfortable viewing. Their excellent depth of field provides a good overview without the need for constant refocusing and all models are excellent for long distance viewing whether for action sports, nature and wildlife viewing, or for astronomical observation.

| User Reviews |  | Great first binocular
rating: 5
I bought this product for my husband for star-gazing. It is great for a neophyte astronomer. Well made, good instructions and not too heavy. It is also tripod adaptable, which was important to me when I selected it. I did well! Any movement is significant when dealing with such distances. So, after trying it out, we did immediately buy a celestron tripod and the attachment for a binocular, and now my husband is extremely happy.

Avoid all Celestron products

Several years ago I purchased a 5 inch Celestron telecope that was OK and I also purchased expensive 7x50 binoculars that were defective from day one.
They would not focus as advertised. (<25') and would only focus beyond 50'. I paid to send them to California for repair and they came back in the same condition.
I paid $350 for these pro editions but considered them junk so I lent them to some casual acquantances and whn they returned them they were no longer collimated.
I explained that a factory repair would probably not be satisfactory so I wanted them to purchase a replacement pair. They purchased 8x63 binoculars that have a sticky focusing ring and are shaky.
2 months have passed before I received a reply from my several emails to Celestron regarding repair of the 7x50 binoculars and I spent a lot of time and money while waiting to talk to someone on the phone. They do not have a toll free number. After waiting for 30 minutes they just cut me off.
AVOID CELESTRON. Many better choices for less money. They buy cheap stuff from China and the geeks in California do not know how to repair it.

I have used these binoculars for nearly two months now, under varying conditions. Mostly for astronomy. I have found them exceptional in clarity, with no distortions or abherrations that I could detect. I have also been using these aboard a boat for searching channel markers and lights...they are absolutely unexcelled used in that function.
Although not petite, they are very comfortable and easily held for extended periods , even for my wife who is no weight-lifter.
Dollar for dollar I rank these equal to some binoculars I have used that cost twice as much. The case and strap are cheap crap, but that is small payment for the excellence of the instrument itself.
