After my family happened onto a stargazing group in December, I knew we needed a telescope, but didn?t want to break the bank to get started. After reading other reviews, I chose the Travel scope 70 and so far have been surprised by what this one can do for the cost. The scope is very lightweight and packs easily into its backpack. Set up is easy, and bring a chair if your taller than 5?5?. Tripod is a little short, and wish it was a little more solid on fixing it?s position. Have to find the star or planet and then lock it in a bit higher and let it settle back onto the object. But for the cost, it?s not a deal breaker. Best of all, with a little practice, I got a pretty good picture of the moon, and have seen Jupiter with some of its bigger moons and Saturn?s rings. Pretty impressed with that.

The good: - The telescope itself is alright. There's a little chromatic fringing noticeable around the edge of the Moon, but I've had good views of the Moon, the Pleiades, and the Orion Nebula, for example. - Nice to have the cell phone mount and remote shutter button. Much easier to take good space photos without having to tap the screen. The not-so-good: - The tripod. It's just about adequate for holding the telescope on its own, but the imbalance of adding the cell phone mount and a cell phone is too much for it to bear. There's almost no transition on the clutch between "slack" and "fixed (but not quite)". The ugly: - The remote shutter button has a blue LED that is really, really bright. If you're going observing at night, consider putting a little masking tape over it.

This was a gift for my 6 year-old grandson, so I was unable to see the product in real time. However, my daughter was pleased with the quality. She struggled a bit with the assembling of the product, but with help from her dad via FaceTime, she was able to get it put together. The company was a pleasure with work with. I knew when I bought it, there was a backorder. The company kept me apprised of the status. I would recommend this company.

Very reasonable beginner telescope. The tripod really lets this setup down, though. It's barely adequate to hold the scope stable, but adding a cellphone to the mix makes it a bit precarious.

Love how this product comes with a travel backpack and so many accessories. Makes the telescope so portable and a educational delight to use. I'm very satisfied with the product and would highly recommend!

The product is well packeged, easy to use. I'm impressed by the amount of extras it includes. It's great for the amateur astronomer. For its weight and price I think it does a lot and it's truly portable.

Great scope for the price. It’s light and packs nicely, and goes together quickly. Very quick to learn to use.

A full moon last night and I can't get the moon in the image, it keeps racing back and forth past it. I'm bummed I can't use it and am sending it back. I tried for 20 minutes after setup to no avail. Forget the cellphone adapter it's a hunk of junk!

Awesome little scope! You'll get a big surprise when you look through it! Great for cruising the night time skies! Easy to manuver around and adjust. Would be nicer with a taller tri-pod but for kids or shorter people it's perfect. I'm 5'10". I've had 60mm and 70mm and a 114mm refractor and by far this is the easiest to use! Just grab N go, light weight, easy to carry outside through the doorway. I've long since up-graded to better lenses and a correct image 90* diagonal but I also use them on other scopes i have. This is not the biggest scope but it's the one I use the most!

I bought this for my 9-year-old nephew, and tested it before I gave it to him. It's great for looking at the moon, and is sturdily built for being so inexpensive. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to operate himself, but it's simple enough to use that he can. He's enthralled by it. The manual says that you can see features on Mars, the rings around Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter. I haven't put it to those tests yet.
