    It is cheap quality stuff. I received the telescope with Focusser removed from the tube. I tried fixing it but to no avail. There were dents on the Tripod as well, which I could have ignored. Returned it.

    This was not easy to use and instructions wasn’t clear either on how to use the telescope with our phones. It seems that it’s only good for much older model phones. It is not easy to use when you want to look through the telescope with your eyes.

    Good but not very sturdy. You need to follow instructions carefully to adjust it.

    The finder scope - one of the hole that holds it was loose. It didn't want to get tighten. Seems like the item i received was tampered with. The stand that holds the Telescope is very wiggly. Bad purchase.

    Got this for my son. It’s meant to hold a mobile device for photos and it kept tipping over even with the tripod fully extended. My son almost broke his phone.

    Difficult to assemble. Whenever I put the magnifying lens, I stop seeing anything. YouTube is no help, either.

    The scope works as advertised, but beware of harsh chemical odor that leaks from rubber parts. Overall cheaply constructed. Adequate for casual use. Mine was slightly damaged , but fixed with a bit of work.
