Digital camera reviews of Meade ETX-80 Hard Carry Case.
Digital camera Review: "Hard" case? I think not.
Summary: 1 Stars
This was not an impressive product. It does provide some protection for the telescope, but it is cheaply made. The case is of thin aluminum with plastic corners holding it all together. My case arrived with a cracked corner, so it would not shut properly after being opened the first time. The foam is not properly cut for the accessories, so they fit in poorly. The telescope itself will not fit in the precut slot unless you fully rotate the focus in. This requires you turn the tiny focus knob on the 'scope about 30 times to store it and another 30 times to make the telescope useable again the next time you take it out. Overall I was pretty disappointed with the case, but it does at least give me a way to move the telescope around without damage, though I was hoping for something more substantial based on the picture of the product, showing metal construction. If I could have found the rucksack Meade makes for the telescope sold outside of a kit, I would have rather had that.
