Customer Reviews
Vega Telescope
This was a terrible purchase. We took it out of the box
and the weak point is the tripod. You couldn't get it
tight enough to be stable for a child to look through it.
The other thing to note, even though it was purchased
through Amazon, the vendor Fat Brain will only give you
store credit if the box is opened.
They are very nice and polite, but still beware that the
typical Amazon 30 day deal does not work with all outside
vendors.
Ruined by tripod
This telescope's potential is ruined by the tripod. With a decent tripod my kids could enjoy the product. The tripod is so shoddy it fell apart during the first use. Unfotunately, it doesn't look like you can remount the telescope on a standard tripod.
What a waste.
