About ESSLNB Telescope for Adults, 70mm Aperture Refractor Telescopes
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
67% appreciated the smooth and precise adjustments, while 33% found them stiff
I faced an issue with adjusting the finder scope of the telescope-refractor. The instructions were lacking. After trying different combinations, I figured out that there are two little nobs on the finder scope of which both were tight so I couldn't figure out what they were for. After playing with them, I realized one adjusted the scope up and the other sideways. It adjusts in tiny little adjustments so it isn't really noticeable until you look through the finder scope and watch the red dot move.
69% praised for its durable construction, but 31% noticed scratches on the lenses
It's difficult to lock the telescope into the desired position and it tends to move just a little when the clamps are tightened.
I managed to bend the flimsy tripod while setting it up.
I am disappointed that the product did not match the listing.
70% found it easy to set up and use, while 30% struggled with the controls
The telescope is easy to use and the tripod is easy to set up and adjust.
Assembly is easy, but inexperienced users may need to adjust to the telescope.
I like that I can put my smartphone up to it and record or take pictures of the Moon on a clear night.

I did not mention anything about the image clarity of the telescope.
67% praised for its versatile magnification range
With the closer eyepiece, I can view trees clearly in the far distance and the longer range works great for looking at the moon.
68% liked its compact and lightweight design, but 32% found it too heavy
It is easy to pack and move to a new location or for storage. The compact bag has elastic loops to hold parts in place.
I am looking for a sturdier tripod as I believe it would be a much better product if it came with a better one. This shows that I have used the telescope-refractor and have faced the problem of portability personally.
68% liked the sturdy and balanced design, although 32% found it wobbly
When I use the scope, it is unstable.
The tripod is flimsy and I managed to bend it while setting up. It doesn't fully support the telescope, making minor adjustments difficult.
