Gskyer AZ 70400 review

Gskyer's AZ 70400: a fully coated 70/400 travel refractor with two eyepieces, a 3x Barlow, a 5x24 finder with crosshairs, a phone adapter, a wireless camera remote and a bag that holds telescope and tripod.

A travel refractor for phone photos

The AZ 70400 is a 70 mm refractor at 400 mm, f/5.7, fully coated. Gskyer adds a phone adapter and a wireless camera remote, so the phone can photograph the Moon without being touched.

The kit

Two eyepieces (focal lengths not named), a 3x Barlow, a 5x24 finder with crosshairs and mounting bracket, an adjustable aluminum tripod and a carry bag that holds telescope and tripod.

A shared sentence

What observers ask about this one

What is the wireless remote for?

Triggering the phone's camera without touching it, so the telescope does not shake during a Moon photo.

Is it the same as the NEYLANG 70/400?

The optics sentence is word for word the same, with the same 70 mm, 400 mm and f/5.7. Accessories differ; see the [NEYLANG page](/reviews/travel-telescopes-neylang/).

What can it show?

Gskyer says lunar and planetary; the 70 mm aperture also shows bright clusters and the Orion Nebula.
