## Description

Product Description Celestron’s Nature DX 12x56 binoculars are the perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure. A great first step into the world of serious sport optics, the views through Nature DX rival those of more expensive binoculars, at a price to fit your budget. With phase-coated BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics, Nature DX reveals image detail you won’t find with other entry-level binoculars. And when you’re off the trail, enjoy superb views of concerts, sporting events, and more. Nature DX’s high quality BaK-4 prisms are phase coated to increase contrast and resolution. Phase coated prisms, combined with fully multi-coated lenses, provide maximum light transmission through the entire optical path, for brighter images, even in low light conditions. With 12x magnification and 56 mm objective lenses, Nature DX 12x56 strikes the perfect balance between performance and ease of use. Acquire and follow your subject quickly in the wide field of view. Or, observe nearby subjects like plants and insects with a close focus of just 9.8 feet. A durable rubber armored, polycarbonate housing protects your Nature DX binoculars from damage without weighing you down. Twist-up eyecups with multiple stops ensure proper positioning of the eyes, even for eyeglass wearers. Waterproof, fogproof, and nitrogen purged, these binoculars can withstand the elements. They’re easy to pack, even for long excursions, and fit comfortably in a glove box or oversized pocket. Birders will love Nature DX for its bright, sharp views of distinguishing features and markings. You’ll get more bird identifications and more enjoyment from each birding outing. The 12x56 model is a favorite among beginning and intermediate birders, since birds are easier to locate and follow in its wide field of view. Take your passion for birding to the next level with Nature DX! Box Contains 1 x Nature DX Roof Prism 12 x 56

Review: Great value for money, superb build quality and great optical quality. - Great product, very clear and easy to adjust. I bought as a replacement to some old Nikon ones I had which were fantastic but almost 10x the price. I was pleasantly surprised at how compact these binoculars were and how clear the image was. They're durable with a lovely matte green finish which is easy to keep clean. I've had these on blustery walks in the rain and had no issues, I've also been to the beach and it's done a great job of keeping dust out of the essential areas which would usually hinder their performance.
Review: Good quality bins for a budget price. - The 5 stars is based on quality/price ratio. At £90 these are never going to be the best binoculars out there, they are very much budget end bins. I bought these for use by my wife mainly for use on safari. We went for the 8x42 as I felt anything with more magnification would require more stamina to hold steady. Also the 8x42 had a longer eye relief which is important as she wears glasses. I had also read that they fold close together so would be ideal for her small head - they do indeed fold close enough for her - and would also be suitable for many children. She thought they looked big but I think they are quite compact and light for an 8x42. The build quality looks solid enough. The case and strap are not the best but the binoculars themselves (the important bit) looks good. The image is bright and easy to focus. My eyesight isn't great but to my eyes the image was reasonably sharp to the edges. There was minimal chromatic aberrations. Overall the image was very acceptable for cheap binoculars. There is a mount point for an adaptor for use with a tripod or monopod. I can't see us using a tripod with them but I think she may benefit using a monopod if she has to hold them for a long time. I already have a monopod so we will dive that a go. I have no idea how well they will stand up over time? Due to my very poor eyesight in one eye I tend to use a monocular but I might borrow these for a bit of birding from time to time. Overall I think these are good value for money at £90. I am not convinced I would pick these if they were at their highest price of £160 as there might be a better option at that price point.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the Celestron 12x56 good for bird watching and viewing items in the distance, thanks**
A: I find them pretty good for bird watching from as close as 10 metres to as far as 200 metres. I live in the country and can pick thing out perhaps half a mile away. They did enable me to identify an escaped eagle at 300 metres so I think for the price ok buy. However for stargazing not very good i found.

**Q: 12x56 for star gazing any good ?**
A: You will see a lot more stars but not the details of any planets. Planets look brighter but not bigger. This applies to most (all?) binoculars. You could probably see the Andromeda galaxy (if you know where to look)

**Q: These or nikon monarchs?**
A: I have not used Nikon Monarchs.Celestron very good, small and compact.God weather sealing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent budget binoclar for basic use, good for 50-600m range...
*by H***Q on 17 September 2021*

This is probably the cheapest branded binocular on the market which sports BAK4 prisms. I found other cheaper binoculars claiming to have BAK4 but those were not known/recognized brands so I picked this. The results are great considering the price. Binocular is solidly made, feels very sturdy in hand and is not as heavy. 10x42 is actually very compact. Picture results are great in good lighting conditions for well lit objects from a distance of 50 meters to 600 meters. Objects further away do no focus very clearly and details become fuzzy. The same is true for low light conditions. At night medium to well lit objects in optimal range show great but viewing experience degrade very quickly with lower lighting and longer distances. I'd would highly recommend this for someone looking for a binocular for casual use, occasional fair weather birding or hiking etc.. 4 years ago when I bought my first binoculars £10-£50 I quickly realized that those just don't work and are total waste of money and time so if you really need a bino for viewing then buy this or something similar. For more serious uses specially for longer ranges, this is not the perfect choice (in my opinion at least).
