Got this telescope quickly, well packaged, and had it up 100% assembled in under 15 minutes. I am an amateur astronomer with a little extra ambition and drive so I decided to seek out a telescope that would suit both close up objects and some further distanced items. I get very precise views of little clusters of craters on the moon with the 5mm eyepiece and 3x Barlow lens together, it is a bit harder to find the exact focus as you amp up the magnification but the slow motion focus knob gets you a clear image at any level as long as you're patient and have a steady hand! As far as the tripod goes I have had no problems as of yet, it is a sturdy build especially when the tray is mounted in between the legs. Be careful though that you don't screw the legs too tightly or the screw may come out, I learned the hard way and now have just 2 screws of 3, but a small clamp works until I can get it fixed, and I'm sure it is not to fault of the manufacturer, rather that I excessively tightened the screw. As of now I have nothing bad to say about the scope. The moon pic below is using just the 25mm eyepiece and barlow 3x lens.
