Would these work?** A: That is one of the primary reason I bought the 25x70's. I also have the 15x70's but for plane observation the 25's get you closer. At 35,000 feet (as a reviewer said before) you can see the printing on the plane on a clear crisp day. At night, and this is amazing to me, you can see the windows of the plane with the light coming out of them. If the planes are lower, the views are even more spectacular. NOW, you WILL need a TRIPOD with a VIDEO HEAD to help you keep the binoculars steady and to track the plane. I also recommend the Planefinder App so you know what is flying over you and what is approaching your area. I spend hours looking at the flight traffic over my house and these 25x70's are perfect and totally add to my enjoyment of looking at high altitude aircraft. **Q: Tripods for 25x70. Do I use the small Barska adapter or the screw on the bottom of binocs? What type tripod? If known, what's the exact name.** A: TRIPOD: Recommended tripod must take at least 4 lbs and upwards, I'd recommend this tripod; http://www.amazon.com/66-inch-Heavy-Duty-Tripod-Bag/dp/B00EVC9PQI/ADAPTER: The adapter included with the binoculars will work but to me its a bit too flimsy. I'll recommend http://www.amazon.com/Barska-AF10546-BARSKA-Binocular-Adaptor/dp/B000BYH8EQ/SCREW HOLES: The screw holes on the binoculars is located between the two outer objective lens and is covered with a cap which has the Celestron logo. Just unscrew the cap and you'll see the 1/4 inch hole where you'll attach the tripod adapter. The tripod adapter will now be attached to the tripod plate with 1/4 inch 20 screw, then you attach the tripod plate to the tripod and you can now enjoy your viewing. **Q: I know NOTHING about binoculars. I am looking for a decent pair for my husband who would be using them for police surveillance. Are these suitable?** A: No. Too powerful. Any magnification over 10x reduces the field of view seriously. Your husband will have a hard time finding the objects he wants to view, and, when they move suddenly, as in any kind of action, it will be hard to keep the binoculars on target. A pair of inexpensive (< $100) of 10x50 will serve him well. **Q: Are these to heavy to use on a boat? To check out other boats or view things that may help with navigation or hazards. Spotting moorings ECt** A: I have to jump-in on this question. These would be totally useless on any boat smaller than an aircraft carrier. The high magnification means that they must be held rock steady to be of any use and that's impossible on a boat. 8x magnification is generally considered the maximum for use on a boat without image stabilization. 7 x 50 used to be considered the ultimate small boat binocular, with image stabilization you can go to a higher magnification but still pay a penalty in low light conditions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super for sky gaze, not good for general purposes *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 10 January 2021* It is very hard to look at a specific point, as it magnitudes huge, it shakes even if you use a tripod, buy a metal adapter as the included plastic one does not do the job, every tiny touch makes a huge vibration. I would go with a less magnification if you plan to use for general purposes. Otherwise the quality is good and the image is sharp!Update: After a while the vibration of the objects due to 25x (even with a tripod) becomes more annoying, go with less magnification like 15x. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 13 March 2026* Quality product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original & Good Quality *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 26 March 2024* all good ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 71008 SkyMaster 25x70mm Porro Prism Binoculars with Multi-Coated Lens, BaK-4 Prism Glass and Carry Case, Black - Binocular Tripod, 72” Spotting Scope Tripod Stand with Binocular Adapter and 2 QR Plates, Travel Camera Stand with Phone Holder/Carry Bag, Compatible with Binoculars/Spotting Scope/Camera/Phone - Celestron – Smartphone Photography Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Photos and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope Eyepiece --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/253415647-skymaster-25x70-porro-binoculars-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/253415647-skymaster-25x70-porro-binoculars-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
