Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 46"x13.5"x18.5" Orion Padded Telescope Case
Customer Review: First skeptical....but SOOO glad I bought
Summary: 5 Stars
This case makes it super easy to transport the XT8!! I'd say a must have...I've tried carrying the scope mounted in it's base. It's just awkward. The handles on this case are long enough to use as shoulder strap! Love it!Customer Review: Must have accessory
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't imagine trying to move around this substantial telescope without a cushioned case that has the strap offset to balance the load. It is well made and I couldn't live without it.Customer Review: Nice Bag
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the bag very much as we travel and plan to take the scope with us on camping trips. The bag also provides a protective container to keep the scope in at home. I wish the bag had some pockets for storing eyepieces, the finder scope and various tools, red flashlight, etc. I solved that problem by purchasing some inexpensive all-purpose zipper bags from the stationary department of a local superstore ($2.97ea). I bought bright colors so they would be easier to see in the dark. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase.Customer Review: Padded case adequate, but straps lacking
Summary: 4 Stars
I am happy with this padded case from Orion as far as protection for my Reflector Tube Assembly. However, I am a little disappointed in the way the straps are placed. The straps are too long to carry the case from your hand hanging by your side and when you carry it over your shoulder one end wants to dip down toward the ground. This means you have to really concentrate to be sure that your tube assembly does not bump the ground accidentally.Customer Review: nicely made, but doesn't fit base
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received this in the mail, so I haven't been able to use it and put it to the test yet. It seems fine, well made, and sturdy. However, I thought it would fit the entire scope, including base. It doesn't. It's mean to fit the tube assembly, not the base. I'll keep it; it looks like it will work really well for transporting the scope. However, I plan to keep the tube mounted on the base at home, and the bag won't fit that. So the bag goes in the closet for now.
