MaxUSee F400X70 70mm Refractor Tripod & Finder, Portable Telescope for Kids & Astronomy Beginners, Travel Scope with 3 Magnificati, Blue

This is actually a great telescope for the price. The quality of the optics are better than expected for a beginner's telescope in this price bracket. Once you use it a couple of times, the smartphone holder is easy to use. The tabletop tripod that comes with the package is a little cutesy, but if you have a patio table in your backyard, it's perfectly usable. I already had a nice full-sized camera/video tripod that works great with the telescope. I highly recommend this package for anyone who is interested in delving into amateur astronomy.

Looked like a good telescope with nice magnification. But needs better quality control as in the unit we got the position locking handle does not screw in properly so does not go fully into the base of the tripod.This prevents it from locking at all and hence becomes unuseable as you need the telescope to lock firmly in order to focus at any object in the night sky.Ended up submitting for a return and refund.

I got this as a gift for my kids, so that they could look at the stars and moon. The first issue i noticed with it is that the view finder shows everything upside-down, so it's basically impossible to properly line it up with what you would like to view. Kids have not been able to observe a single star (nor have I) and the only thing they can basically see with it is the moon. This serves the same purpose as a twenty dollar scope. Very dissatisfied with my purchase.

Perfect birthday gift!

Do not buy the telescope it is junk I consume into the sky better with a camera on a flip phone they should have paid me 40 bucks to even possess this piece of crap whatever you do do not buy this the only thing you'll get is a headache depression and you know it's just all bad man stay away from this telescope
