About this item
- PREMIUM ED OBJECTIVE LENSES: Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration or color fringing, a visual defect common in binoculars. You'll enjoy razor-sharp images with outstanding, true-to-life color.
- PHASE-COATED BaK-4 PRISMS FOR BRIGHTER VIEWS: The prisms inside TrailSeeker ED feature quality BaK-4 glass with phase coatings that maximize light transmission to your eye. The result is bright, highly detailed views—even in low light conditions.
- DURABLE, WATERPROOF BODY: A rubber-armored, polycarbonate housing protects your binoculars from damage and stands up to the toughest weather conditions. They're also fully waterproof and nitrogen purged to prevent internal fogging of the lenses.
- TWIST-UP EYECUPS FOR QUICK ADJUSTMENT: Large focus knobs make for easy and precise focusing. Twist-up eyecups allow you to customize the binocular's eye relief to obtain a full field of view with or without eyeglasses.
- FIELD-WORTHY ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: TrailSeeker ED comes complete with a comfortable carry harness, a deluxe padded neck strap, a single piece eyepiece cover, tetherable objective covers, a durable padded carrying case, and more.
- UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading optics brand in California since 1960. Your purchase includes a Celestron Limited Lifetime US Warranty & US-based expert tech support.

I conducted extensive research online and discovered that several factors are important in choosing the right binoculars. Weight and close focus are crucial considerations along with field of view, while the choice between 8x and 10x magnification depends on personal preference. After careful consideration, I concluded that 8x magnification would be the most suitable for my needs.
One thing is clear, there are numerous brands available, including many that are unfamiliar to me. Should I trust these lesser-known brands, or is it better to stick with reputable brands that I recognize? I decided to rely on others' research to guide my decision.
I turned to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, which has conducted extensive research on various binoculars. Their site allows users to search for binoculars ranging from budget to mid-priced, typically costing between $250 and $650 per pair. Since I was looking to upgrade, I focused my research on mid-priced options.
Through their research, they covered the factors I mentioned earlier, revealing a wide range of options. Some binoculars came close, but one stood out as a clear winner. In the end, I decided to go with the Trailseeker ED 8x42, and for good reason.
The Trailseeker ED 8x42 weighs just under 30 ounces. This weight is ideal because it provides a solid feel without being too heavy for extended use while hiking. Additionally, the clarity of these binoculars is impressive. The ED glass, a high-quality optical glass used in lenses, is designed to reduce chromatic aberrations and other defects that occur when different colors of light do not converge on the same focal plane. It's evident that Celestron ensured the highest quality in the construction of these Trailseeker EDs.
Furthermore, the excellent close focus of 7 feet and a wide field of view of 425 feet allow me to scan the area effectively, even if the bird flies away. There’s always something beautiful about that experience.
In conclusion, I have been using these binoculars every day since receiving them, and I couldn’t be happier. Considering the price versus the quality, it's clear why they receive such high praise. If you're in the market for binoculars, do yourself a favor and get the Trailseeker ED 8x42. I can assure you that you won't regret it!

Notables by my husband: They have a close range of 6 feet, which we tested two days ago watching a shrubline of sparrows. He was delighted to report that it was FAST and butter smooth to focus. He loves how sharp, clear, and bright they are. He was able to see birds inside bushes that he knows he would not have been able to do with his old binos. His old binos were top of the line Alpen binos 10 years ago. He loves the slightly cushioned grip and the copper ring detail around the optics.
They are clearer than my Celestron Nature DX's but mine are a little lighter, which I prefer.
We had grown a little sedentary before getting these binos. Now, he wants to bird every day again. What fun!
I’m a woman and some binoculars tend to be too big and bulky for my hands or my frame. These are absolutely perfect. I love them so much. I will probably buy them as gifts for friends and family. They are excellent value for money.
