Telescope for Adults Beginners, 70mm Aperture 400mm AZ Mount Fully Multi-Coated Optics Refractor Portable Telescopes, Travel Telescope with Tripod and Phone Adapter

This telescope is a brilliant choice for beginners or families looking to explore the night sky. It was really easy to set up, with clear instructions that made the whole process simple. The image quality is surprisingly good for the price, giving sharp and clear views of the moon and stars. It comes with two eyepieces and a Barlow lens, which give just the right level of magnification for casual stargazing without making things shaky or complicated. The phone adapter is a lovely touch and works well for taking quick photos. My kids have really enjoyed using it and it has made stargazing fun and accessible for all of us. It is lightweight and easy to carry, perfect for taking on trips or using in the garden. Overall, this telescope strikes the right balance between quality and ease of use. I highly recommend it for anyone starting out or wanting to share a bit of space magic with their family.

This is a good starter telescope, it has good magnification and clarity easy to use

I go on late night walks and meditate in the garden or nearby parks well after midnight quite often and have been curious what all these stars and flashy dots in the sky were, so got into astrology a bit and decided to help my nephew into it. This truly had been a perfect somewhat beyond a beginner's first telescope gift. The first thing we noticed was a red and white flashing star was actually 2 planets closely aligned in view, beautiful to see them through this scope and the kids amazement at the discovery of features of the night sky. So, my nephew and I love this telescope. It's the third I've owned so far, I was amazed how easy and quick it was to set up, took literally under 5 minutes to setup after unpacking. The booklet of instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Even when mounted onto the tripod stand, it's beautifully lightweight and sturdy. Some say the tripod is flimsy, but I do have multiple of very similarly constructed lightweight DSLR camera tripod stands, and this one is just as sturdy as them, as well as being smooth/easy to extend/retract in a jiffy. I do much appreciate the added bubble level, which works perfectly fine too. The tripod also comes with a phone mount, which works just fine and is a much appreciated bonus, which I'm sure will be used plenty by many family. Though if I were to mount my heavier DSLR camera's to this tripod, I'd want a hook to hang a weighted bag to increase stability. Definitely not needed for when the telescope is mounted, as it's pretty lightweight and well balanced itself, though you may want some small sand bags on the legs if using in very windy conditions. You could buy some generic spike attachments for use on grass/soil, for better stability in gardens/fields. I would've liked for the various lens caps to be attached/strung so they don't go missing but that's a minor issue. I'm pretty surprised of the focusing clarity when zooming in, (the two large knobs make focusing very easy and smooth,) especially on the 12.5mm 35x magnification lens. I actually prefer the 20mm for moon gazing and the 12.5mm for the further celestial objects and stars. The finder scope does invert the image to upside-down, so don't see this as a glitch. This little scope make locating objects easier, so getting used to using it will make the rest far easier. The learning curve for decent focusing and clarity is pretty short, greatly helped by the instructions booklet, so I recommend reading through thoroughly if not used such a telescope before, really will clear up many frustrations of those new to the scene. And remember to have patience, finding decent focus and clarity can take some getting used to its operations. Overall in all honesty, it's a great quality bargain for such a lightweight telescope and tripod. Definitely recommended as a first venture, no doubts. Thanks for making such affordable quality:)

Review for Telescope for Adults Beginners, 70mm Aperture 400mm AZ Mount Fully Multi-Coated Optics Refractor Portable Telescopes, Travel Telescope with Tripod Phone Adapter A great starter telescope to help get you started in Astronomy. The telescope arrives requiring simple assembly, with instruction manual on hand to help and includes everything you need and tripod. The trickiest part of the setup/calibration is set up of the finderscope which when done properly allows you to quickly and easily find and locate objects to view. The telescope includes two eye pieces one low powered mainly for setup and higher powered for observation. You also have a mobile device adapter to allow easy astrophotography using nothing more than your mobile devices built in camera. The overall package is low cost astronomy package allowing a good experience without breaking the bank.

Great bit of kit but the bolts inside the lens caps come loose and struggle to hold the phone holder and weight of the phone. Had to super glue them in before it dropped my phone for the 4th time. Beware as it nearly cracked my phone screen when it fell off. Otherwise great for beginners

I bought this telescope for casual stargazing and it has exceeded my expectations. The 70mm aperture and 400mm focal length provide clear, bright images of the moon and planets. Setup was quick and easy—even as a beginner, I was up and running in no time. The tripod is lightweight but sturdy, and the phone adapter is a fantastic bonus. It makes capturing photos through the lens super simple, and I’ve already taken some amazing shots of the moon! I also love how portable it is. It’s compact enough to take on trips or even just to the local park for a better view of the night sky. If you’re just starting out or looking for a great gift, this telescope is a brilliant choice. Highly recommended!

This isn't useable. It's just a toy for children to play with and think they have a telescope. It looks the part, but as soon as you start to try to use it you find the problems mentioned in other reviews: You can't scan around the sky because it is so poorly designed that it jerks if you try to move so can't choose what to look at. If you do find something worth looking at with its very low magnification (about the same as binoculars) then you will want to tighten up the screws so it holds the image. As soon as you try that it moves dramatically and loses the image. I sent it back. There's no way this is worth the money.

L' ho acquistato per Natale perché era il regalo chiesto da mio figlio di 10 anni. Devo dire che mi ha stupita. Non è ingombrante, facile da montare, la qualità sembra buona. Come primo approccio direi super approvato

Came way before time and great quality

I bought this telescope as a beginner, and I’m genuinely impressed! The 70mm aperture and 400mm focal length give surprisingly sharp and bright images of the moon, planets, and even some star clusters. It was easy to set up (no tools needed!), and the tripod feels stable enough for casual stargazing. What really sets it apart is the phone adapter — I was able to capture some stunning shots of the moon within minutes. It’s lightweight and super portable, which makes it perfect for camping trips or backyard sessions. The AZ mount is intuitive for smooth movement. Overall, this is a great entry-level telescope that makes astronomy fun and accessible.

Llego rápido y en perfecto estado , bien embalado todas sus piezas intactas

Great value for the money unfortunately the area we live in has a lot of light pollution so we have to travel to the country side to get the best results
