I recently purchased this sleek white telescope and it has been an absolute joy to use. Right out of the box, the setup was straightforward, which was perfect for a beginner like me. The tripod provides a stable base, even near the balcony as shown in my setup. It’s light enough to move around easily but solid enough to withstand a breeze.
The optics are clear and the focusing mechanism is smooth, allowing me to gaze at the stars and moon with surprising detail. It’s also quite the conversation starter, nestled aesthetically among my plants and home decor. The design is modern and doesn’t take up too much space, blending nicely with my interior.
One thing to note, the telescope, while robust, could use a better locking mechanism for the angle adjustment. It sometimes slips if not tightened properly. However, once secured, it stays in place.
Overall, this telescope has been a great addition to my home. It provides a fantastic viewing experience and serves as an elegant piece of functional decor. Whether you’re a novice star-gazer or just looking for a stylish new hobby, this telescope comes highly recommended.

Better than expected!

I got it I was really surprised. It is by no means a child's toy. I wasn't expecting a whole lot at this price and I got way more than I expected! It's very well made and the optics seem to be fantastic. Easy to put together and of course they do give you instructions. Comes with everything you need.
When you open the box you see a nice case to carry it in and upon opening that everything is wrapped and well packaged to survive transit. Immediately I noticed the heft of the scope itself when I took it out of the case. The mounting points are well machined and everything fit together very nicely. It has a round carousel that attaches to the tripod so you can set your optics in there and swap them out at a moment's notice. The tripod itself was way above and beyond what I ever thought it would be. Much more sturdy than I had imagined. The phone mount for photographing is pretty good. As with all the phone mounts they are very sensitive to being touched while you're trying to make photos but here's the best part. I Bluetooth my Samsung to my laptop so that I can see what I'm looking at through the telescope! Then I simply click on my laptop when I want to take the photo. That is an awesome feature when you're trying to take pictures because you don't have to worry about disturbing your shot.
Telescope is loaded with things that take it way out of a child's toy and put it into the category of a really good quality entry level and above telescope. I can easily see me using this thing for a long time to come. I've had years of experience with other telescopes and this one rates right up there and quality with many of the others. It's actually much better than some that I've looked at costing almost twice as much. Telescope is definitely a keeper.
Unfortunately due to the overcast skies and the clouds moving in and out very rapidly I haven't been able to get a decent photo. The scope is quite capable but before I can snap the photo clouds start moving back in. It's frustrating but that's my problem and not a problem with the telescope. I will add some photos once I get clear skies.
If you're looking for a great little telescope at a great price that you will not be returning I suggest you look at this one up close and personal!
Buy it and try it! You will not be disappointed.

Decent, cheap little telescope

My only comparable experience is with telescopes 10x in cost. Make no mistake, this telescope is definitely not one of those, but I don't think it's trying to fool anyone that it is, either. Rather, this is a cheap little telescope with a cell phone attachment for the budding social astronomer who wants a slightly enhanced view of the sky - or their neighbor's home!
Assembly was easy and straightforward, with intelligible instructions in English. The carrying bag is a simple canvas cloth, but it does the job. Overall, this telescope met my expectations.
