Has anyone tried one of these?

Not tried it, but this type of Barlow suits only astrophotography and does not work for visual.

I was thinking for use with my webcam for planetary imaging

Never used a X5 or this make but it looks a little like the Bresser X5 barlow.

Saw the same thing and would be very interested to find out if they're any good. I'd be cautious of any 4-element 5x Barlow at 1/3 the price of an Orion equivalent!

Seems to be from the same outfit that was offering those dangerous, cheap "solar-filter" that screws into an eyepiece - possibly blinding the poor fool who tries to use it. If you do go for it, please let us know your findings. I hope this won't bankrupt you from buying something better should this one turn out to be garbage.

Big skies,

The item listed is also in China so import duties / charges will apply.
