What is actual product weight without waterproof case? Can it be attached to a telescope or binoculars?

Hi Dave, It weighs about 45 - 50 grams. I do not know what is required to record through a telescope or binoculars. The Gear Pro lens is a fisheye type of lens that is supposed to take in as much area as possible. I have used it on my quad copter and at 20 feet it may as well have been a hundred for the amount of detail. This is my only experience with this type of camera, but I hope this helps. Jim

As listed on the Amazon product description (read the details on any item you buy, especially online)...12 x 8 x 17 inches ; 3.3 pounds and the Celestron brand is well known as a maker of fine instraments in astronomical circles. Personally I found the binoculars a bit heavy for comfortable viewing without a tripod. These binoculars are apparently better suited for stationary work and stargazing. I do not recommend it as a general purpose binocular.

Depends on the weight of the telescope. It's footprint is fairly small bit it's pretty ruggedly built.

Thank you for your question. We do have a case available for this telescope as well. Our listing was taken down as our inventory below are standard threshold. Here is a link to our home website showing the product: http://www.scientificsonline.com/nexstar-case-for-4-5-6-8.html

Yes, it comes with a case and included -- but there is no strap on the case to put over your shoulder. You can use the strap on the binoculars itself as the shoulder strap.

The advertising indicates 2 pounds as the weight of the binocular but you also need to add in the two eyepieces. It does add weight to the back of the scope and can be compensated by either moving the scope further forward (example: Celestron C5 on Altazimuth or photo tripod base) or adjusting the weight on an equatorial mount. One issue I've found caused by the weight of the binocular with eyepieces installed is the tendency for it to unscrew or slip in the mount unless really ensuring both the tube is tight to the binocular and the scope's set screw(s) is tight.

The total weight of the telescope (assembled) is 46.1 lbs. I hope this has been helpful.

according to the manual "your bushnell binoculars may be designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof and fogproof technology. Bushnell waterproof models are o-ring sealed for complete moisture protection." Now it doesn't say any where on the box wether this model is and I haven't had them around wet areas hope this help

No it does not come with a carry case. One of the packaging boxes is perfect to keep for that purpose. Telescope is easy to take apart from stand.

I'm not sure about the actual weight. We like them but it would be helpful to have a stand to hold them. The weight doesn't bother my husband but for me, my arms get tired. Overall, my son n law and husband like the binoculars. Hope this helps.

It should work very well. Just make sure you pack the foam around the telescope and you shouldn't have a problem. The case is very rugged and will withstand alot of abuse without items being damaged inside.

It comes in a semi hard sturdy case probably a thick cardboard wrapped in cloth. Enclosed in the case is a chest harness with clips and a neck harness. They are both comfortable. The case is about the size of one of those oversized bricks someone would use to line a garden with. The binoculars are very compact when folded together like a solid piece vs spread wide open so all in all they should pack safely unless somebody seriously abuses whatever you pack them in.

I would put the weight at about 4-6oz. The barrel is a light composite, but you have a lot of glass and there's the rubber armor. Super weight-conscious hikers might get 6x18 or 8x21.. It's less than half the weight of same-aperture binoculars, of course. The main gain with this wide barrel is light, for dusk/dawn/shady-woods.

I asked this same question a month ago. We just returned and the binoculars will definitely fit your needs in Alaska. They weigh close to two pounds--not too heavy. The only drawback I found was the case is too small once the neck strap is in place.....a good choice and a good value. Have a great time in Alaska. I wish you sunshine and cloudless dy.

I've noticed the design of the Nikon case allows the strap from the binoculars to extend outside of the case. As a result, the case is carried by the binoculars. When the binoculars are in use, however, the case is separated. I use a LowePro sling for my camera - allowing rapid access. One might also work for your binocular dilemma.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we recommend that you remove the Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) before attempting to transport the telescope. The base has convenient carrying handles as well.
