MAXLAPTERTelescopes for Astronomy, 16X-201X High Magnification Telescopes for Astronomy Beginners,70mm Aperture 400mm AZ Telescopes with FMC Optics for Kids Adults with Backpack,Phone Adapter,Tripod

I was happy to receive this device by Maxlapter. It was easy to set up but then i noticed some things. The finder ( small scope) is on the side I would not use to look into it. Like looking at a rifle sight. Which eye would you use L/R? Also make sure you are on solid level ground or you'll have a hard time staying focused on what you are viewing. Lastly if you have a hard time bending ( like I do ) you might need a higher tripod. I enjoy viewing stars so if the scope is pointed up you have to sit in a chair ( baby chair ) to look up through the scope. Other then that the craftsmen ship is very good including the tripod. All the extras really make an exciting hobby.

Good for the price it is a little wobbly but the tripod is for kids or perfect for adults that want to sit and look it shakes alot if it's windy but that's why I said it's wobbly I only tried the small lens during the day I haven't tried everything yet and the bag is really cheap if that's a deciding factor get your own bag this on is very cheap I wouldn't use it for a gym bag plus mine came with a hole in it right on the seem

This is a great telescope for beginners. It comes with everything you need to get started, as well as a bunch of accessories that would normally need to get purchased separately. I love that this comes with a cell phone adapter, a remote shutter release for your phone, and even a carrying case.The telescope is small enough to take with you on a hike, and the included eye pieces are powerful enough for some great nighttime shots. Really happy with the purchase, and would definitely recommend for beginners. I'm comfortable letting my kids and friends use this without constant supervision, and I hope it will instill a love of astronomy and astrophotography in them.

At first I was able to watch the rising moon before the eclipse. Then the moon rose too high to get the tripod angle needed to watch the rest. I had trouble with the phone adapter, it seemed as though the buttons on the phone are in the wrong place. The phone kept taking pictures during the installation of the phone. I switched over to my SLR camera to get some decent photos. I will continue to try the phone adapter. I still want some good photos of the moon.

Good for those who like to watch the outer space.

When I got it the only thing that actually worked was the first lense I put in but the next 2 I couldn't see a thing with it. I guess I got what I paid for.

Not a good buy

My granddaughter loves it. They live in rural area with few city lights. She sets it up and can do a lot of star gazing and find other things in the sky that she wants to find.

Mon mari a adoré il s’amuse comme un enfant avec et observe tous les soirs ou le ciel est dégagé

Appena preso sono rimasto davvero contento, una volta montato ho notato un po' troppa leggerezza , non proprio stabile. Quando volevo osservare la luna di sera molto ben visibile, non appena mi avvicinavo con l occhio sfiorandolo si muoveva tutta la struttura che non mi permetteva di vedere in modo giusto il mio obbiettivo. Non molto contento

Instruction on assembly could be improved. Not had time to fully test it as thrvweather has been cloudy. It does include a number of extras. It is fit for purpose.

Makkelijk handelbaar, foto met de kleinste vergroting, de grootste vergroting is in het begin wat lastiger maar door goed te oefenen goed te doen, top!
