Just needed a tripod so it can stand up and not need a table top. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 🔭! *by A***R on January 13, 2021* Cost for quality is outstanding. Truly impressed with the capability and clear planet images. Many reviews complained that the base is not super steady. If you read and follow the directions completely you will not have any steadiness issues whatsoever. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/70601348-carson-sky-chaser-70mm-refractor-beginner-telescope-with-tabletop-tripod](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/70601348-carson-sky-chaser-70mm-refractor-beginner-telescope-with-tabletop-tripod) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
