That tripod is kind of funny, looks like one i have for my cell phone. But i suppose having a basic stand and No carry case like the s50 is what keeps the cost down. No worrys here. I have several different travel bags the whole box will fit in and just use my s50 Tripod or even a low cost tripod from Amazon. For that price i will be getting the s30 for myself. I really like how compact it is. Thanks for the preview Looking forward to part 2 under the sky
Don't get it. Zwo is top notch. To get the s30 out of the box that can't be leveled or used without add ons.Reminds me of the asiair that came without a power supply???
Yeah im not entirely sure why but maybe in the retail version there will be something to help with the leveling. In the mean time I got another neewer camera leveler mount like I do for my s50
Great overview, however the tripod is a joke and no hard case or padded case - chintzy. Has some good "toy" features such as daylight object tracking. Not as good as wide a field as I thought they were going to provide with this scope. Planets/moon are a waste of time. Good wifi hub. Not convincing me to buy though - S50 is better. Chinese language ! LOL. Should have redesigned with equatorial capability to prevent field rotation.
@markbergendahl2651 the retail production version will come with a case. Planetary wise is not the best choice for this but with the night time tests of DSOs this does pretty darn well. But I've always been a fan of wide view astrophotography anyway

I was going to say yes the retail version will have a case with it
@@OuttenAstrophotographyok, didn't know that. Thanks!
Yup the review models we got did not include a case and the packaging will be slightly different i'm told via email
Ok, thanks hunter!

Maybe it doesn't need leveled?
@@pdub422 It probably relies on horizontal calibration and thus physical levelling is not required
Maybe? Im going into the mindset of my astrophotography rigs and having a level mount and system works the best
I ordered a Neewer Camera level like i have for the s50 anyway which will arrive today just in time for the nighttime test.

A brand new telescope and you attack it with a knive to open the battery compartment?....be careful and take care of your things....
it was what i had close by to open the compartment relax... nothing was damaged. Cant use a finger nail to open that area
