Celestron UpClose G2 8x40 Binoculars

Versatile Performance for Everyday Exploration

Discover sharp, detailed views wherever your adventures take you. Whether you're birdwatching, attending a live sports event, hiking, or travelling, the UpClose G2 8x40 binoculars are built to bring the action closer with dependable performance and rugged durability.

Optical Excellence

Equipped with 8x magnification and 40mm objective lenses, these binoculars offer a perfect balance of power and wide field of view—ideal for tracking fast-moving subjects or scanning large landscapes.

Inside, BK-7 Porro prisms ensure high reflectivity and clarity. These traditional prism systems maintain excellent depth perception and create the classic broad-shouldered design associated with powerful binoculars.

Multi-coated optics enhance light transmission across all air-to-glass surfaces, resulting in brighter, sharper images with improved contrast, especially in low light conditions like early morning or late evening.

Durable, Outdoor-Ready Construction

Built for life outdoors, the UpClose G2 features a rubber-armoured body that offers both impact resistance and a secure grip, even in damp conditions. The lightweight yet rigid chassis provides comfortable handling for extended use.

Designed to withstand unexpected weather, the UpClose G2 is water-resistant for added protection during rain showers or humid environments.

Designed for All Users

These binoculars are comfortable for both eyeglass wearers and non-wearers. The fold-down rubber eyecups allow for custom positioning to ensure a full field of view, no matter your eyewear preference.

The large, central focus wheel enables quick and precise adjustments—even when wearing gloves—so you can easily lock onto subjects at varying distances.

Adaptable for Every Situation

The UpClose G2 8x40 is tripod adaptable, making it suitable for extended observation sessions or digiscoping (using your smartphone or camera to capture images through the eyepiece). A tripod adapter is sold separately.

Detachable lens caps help keep your optics protected when not in use, ensuring your view remains clean and clear.

  • Please contact us before sending anything back so we can advise on the safest way

Does it come with a warranty?

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
