EcooPro 70/360 refractor review
EcooPro's 70/360 refractor: fully multi-coated optics, K25 and K10 Kellner eyepieces, an erect-image diagonal, a 5x24 finder, an aluminum tripod and a backpack, sold with three different magnification claims.
EcooPro publishes both defining figures, 70 mm and 360 mm (f/5.1), and names the eyepieces: Kellner K25 and K10. Divide and they give 14.4x and 36x. The listing says 51x to 128x; the title says 15x to 150x. Neither follows from its own numbers.
Wide and bright
At f/5.1, the view is wide: the whole Moon with room around it, the Pleiades entire. The cost is a violet fringe on bright edges, normal for a short achromat.
The kit
An erect-image diagonal, a 5x24 finder with bracket, a pan handle, an adjustable aluminum tripod, Moon and star maps, and a backpack for all of it. Setup is tool-free.
Adding power
For planets, a 2x Barlow or a 6 mm eyepiece.
Price and availability
On November 7, 2026, Amazon.com listed it at about $60 from a third-party seller.

What observers ask about this one
What are the real magnifications?
360 mm divided by 25 is 14.4x, and by 10 is 36x. The listing's 51x to 128x and the title's 15x to 150x do not follow from the published figures.
What does f/5.1 mean?
A wide, bright field for star clusters and the whole Moon, with some violet color around bright objects, typical of a fast achromat.
How do I get more power?
A 2x Barlow (72x with the 10 mm) or a 6 mm eyepiece (60x).

This one and its buyer, among astronomy instruments
Wide low-power views and daytime use, by a buyer who does the magnification arithmetic

The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.
