CLAVOLO C-F36050 refractor review

CLAVOLO's small refractor for children: three eyepieces (H20, H12.5, SR4), a 1.5x erecting eyepiece, a finder, a Moon mirror, Moon and star maps and a tabletop tripod, with a stated range of 18x to 135x.

A child’s kit

CLAVOLO’s refractor comes with three eyepieces (H20, H12.5 and SR4), a 1.5x erecting eyepiece for upright daytime views, a finder, a Moon mirror, Moon and star maps and a tabletop tripod.

The missing numbers

The listing gives a magnification range, 18x to 135x, but neither the aperture nor the focal length. Those two figures decide what any telescope can show; without them, the range cannot be checked.

What to expect

The Moon, clearly, which is what the Moon mirror and map are for. Planets appear small. Ask the seller for the aperture before buying.

Price and availability

On November 7, 2026, Amazon.com listed it at about $33 from a third-party seller.

What observers ask about this one

Is 135x realistic?

Without the aperture it cannot be checked. Telescopes of this size and price usually have about 50 mm of aperture, good to about 100x at best.

What can a child see?

The Moon's craters, which the Moon mirror and Moon map are there for, and bright planets as small disks.

What does the erecting eyepiece do?

It turns the image upright for landscapes and birds by day.
