Good for backpacking
The tripod is unquestionably weak, it stands still, maintains balance well but the telescope mount itself is weak, losing the spots very often this telescope can be used for terrestrial purposes also and has very good image quality Price dictates! and you get very good piece of lenses and magnification for this low price But!!! telescope mount of tripod is weak side of the cheap fairy taleVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very good beginners telescope
I think is a very good telescope not only for beginners, but to travel too. The only downside of the product is the tripod which, is not of the best quality, mine is not working very well. The up and down base where you install the telescope is not holding the position, and the screw where you put the telescope on, has a plastic knob which came without glue or something and is not holding its position either. I think have to buy a better tripod.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Just buy it . . .
If you're considering this, just buy it. At 70mm the objective gathers enough light to make viewing enjoyable, while the focal length allows for decent magnification. It is compact, easy to carry, and sets up quickly. Yes, there are better on the market -if you want to spend four or five times the money you can get something maybe 10% better. For the price, this cannot be beat. This is an excellent 'grab and go' telescope which I highly recommend. I use it for both astronomical and terrestrial viewing. As I wrote above, 'Just buy it.' You'll be pleased.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Portable and great Telescope
It's serves its main purpose of a beginner telescope . Love the bag how it fits everything . But the tripod is not stable especially when your are using the Barlow with the low lens . The objects wiggle in site as the tripod wiggles of every movement you make or if it's just a little wind , they could of made the tripod more secure at the tightening ends . Everytime I adjust the angle view knobs , there is a slight seep drop of the telescope after it's being tightnened. Which means you have to adjust a extra pinch according to that . The finder scope is made from plastic but it seems very hard to calibrate because of the seep after tightening the screws . Other wise it's a great telescope . I don't think I'm getting the full 160x or not even 120x with Barlow because of its low focal length . But i have spotted the craters on the moon and Saturn ! If my city allows me to view a dark sky I'm sure I would see a lot more with this telescope . So yes it's great but it has low magnification , don't expect to see the nebulas , other planets and solar systems, asteroids or anything else that the Hubble space telescope sees . You will probably see mars, Venus, mercury, Jupiter , saturns and its moons . Once again it all depends on how you plan on using it when and where . I believe you can get a lot from this thing if you know what you doing with it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Lightweight. Easily and handily transported.
Lightweight. Easily and handily transported. Limited objective lens choices (easy to accesorize) and no solar screens but that's not what I wanted. As a value, the construction is robust and the operation facile. I use it for terrestial viewing for which it is well suited. I live in a Big City where astronomical viewing is pointless so I can't address its usefulness in that regard [but to say that I'd go for a relector if you want the skies. And a clock mechanism].Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good Value Beginner Scope
I bought this to use as a light weight guide scope. For my use it works good. As a travel scope it is a good value. The tripod is flimsy and the finder scope meh. I use a green laser for a finder.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Super product. Makes Great Impression as a Gift. My Adult son loves it (but it was for his son - who loves it too!)
I am so happy I bought this scope. A great present for my grandson but problem is my son loves it too. He uses it with his digital camera during the day. It is so much fun to use at night with the grandson. And it is an easy telescope to use. Quality of telescope is EXCELLENT. I love it. I got a moon filter to go with it as it help me see the moon better (moon is very bright without it). Anyway, price was great, delivery was super fast. Product was new, and perfect. I am totally thrilled. I bought 3 more of them, one for myself and 2 more for my other grandchildren!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great beginners telescope
I bought this telescope for my grandson for Christmas. He was thrilled and was very eager to try it out. The software that came with it was great and will help him to learn how to use the telescope as he is just a beginner. The backpack that came with it was as well constructed as the telescope seems to be and will make it very easy to transport while keeping all the accessories together. The only flaw is that the tripod that comes with it could stand to be a lot more sturdy, but overall this was a great purchase at the best price I could find anywhere, including Amazon.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Compact and pretty powerful...
I was looking for a travel scope, and this Celestron 70mm has rave reviews across the Internet, but I had no idea just how good it would be. It really is a surprisingly powerful little scope. I highly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
