Product Description
The 10x42 TrailSeeker ED binocular provides high-level outdoor performance—a perfect compact ED binocular for avid birders, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. TrailSeeker ED is packed with optical, mechanical, and ergonomic features that make it comparable to binoculars costing two to five times as much. Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, also known as color fringing, a visual defect common in binoculars. TrailSeeker ED delivers edge-to-edge sharpness with excellent color correction and razor-sharp images. TrailSeeker ED also offers fully broadband multi-coated optics and phase- and dielectric-coated BaK-4 prisms. Taken together, these features maximize light transmission for the brightest, most detailed images possible. TrailSeeker ED is composed of lightweight and durable magnesium alloy. Its tough, rigid frame is coated with rubber to stand up to hard use in the field. What’s more, the binocular is fully waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging of lenses. TrailSeeker ED includes both a neck strap and a carrying harness so you can choose the option that’s most comfortable for you. It’s also tripod adaptable, so you can mount it on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping sessions. The binocular also includes a protective soft case for storage or transport.

I use these also to scan a park for subseqent nature photos. The field of view is excellent and these perform at a level of more expensive binoculars.
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!
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
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.

I use it immediately, need not to calibrate anything. The focus knob is precise and smooth to adjust.
This binoculars with ED has superior image quality and is even comparable to my Canon L lenses. Images are bright and razer sharp with very good contrast. Color is a little bit washed out compared with direct vision.
10x42 is a good combo for me. It's not big, not small, not heavy, not light, no shaky, no plain. With straps and caps, it weighs 747gram, about 2 cans of drinks.
What I’m disappointed: broken cap ears as shown in my photos. Do they have any QC? Don’t want to return or look for customer service for it will take time. It eats up one star from my ranking.
