I purchased the SVBony 225 Alt-Az mount a couple months ago. I was pleased with the price, and the shipping from Asia was quicker than originally stated. The mount arrived in perfect condition. I have used it a few times since receiving it, and I have not been disappointed. With the exception of being unable to adjust the altitude scale to a useful position on the mount, there hasn't been an issue. At 100x magnification, my scope reaches stability in about 1 second. Whereas the original mount that came with the telescope took much longer to settle down. I would like to see SVBony offer a suitable sturdy tripod to complement the SV225.
Purchased for use with my Svbony 503 103ED telescope. Nicely packaged and easy to assemble. Stylish lightweight design is also very sturdy, absolutely no "wobbles" to worry about. Handle and two fine tune knobs are easily detached for storage and transport. Would recommend to others.
It's solid. The adjustment between the azimuth and the upright is a hexagon shape within the casting so when bolted down the interface is very rigid. The fine adjusts work as expected. Very pleased.
I purchased this mount and I have it set up and ready to use (as soon as the clouds clear up)! It was easy to install and was even better quality than expected. I had one minor issue, which was that some paint had dripped into the screw holes on the dovetail clamp during the manufacturing process. I reached out to SVBONY and got a response quickly. I was able to remove the excess paint by putting a little rubbing alcohol on the set screws, and then worked them in. SVBONY assured me that if I had any problems, they would make it right for me. So far I've set it up with a 114mm Newtonian and an 8" SCT (each for visual observing only). Each is sturdy with minimal to no vibrations. My only recommendation is to make sure you have an appropriate tripod to support the weight of the mount and your OTA...
This Svbony mount is actually an improved and better than twilight, because it has 2 safety screws instead of just one, it has a handle bar and it has 3 bars on the side arm instead of just two. I think it is the best AZ mount on the market right now.
Easy to install, very flexible design to accommodate my weird scope. Love it. Tighten the control screws real good or the kids will yank the handle off too easily.
I got my SV225 this week. Upon assembly I found that the lower arm connected to the base has way too much play, I would say at least by half a centimeter and I have the bolt tightened as tight as it will get. It is very annoying when pointing to my desired target, because I have to account for the movement. It would seem I received one that got past quality control, and now I will have to figure out how to remedy this. Otherwise, it is a very solid mount able to hold by AT80ED with RACI, two inch diagonal, and my favorite 25mm eyepiece very well. I have all this mounted on a Orion Paragon HD tripod and it is rock solid, except, the aforementioned problem. Even though I am experiencing the one issue with the mount I would definitely recommend it to anyone that ask, but also warn them about my issues.
Just received my SV225 yesterday. I have it mounted on a Orion Paragon HD tripod. Set it up in the daylight with my AT80ED fully configured with RACI two Inch diagonal and my favorite 25mm eyepiece. It holds everything nicely and is very sturdy. The craftsmanship is really good. It could be excellent, but there is a lot of play in the arm at the base as it is not a snug fit, and moves back and forth about half a centimeter in the altitude axis, even though I have the bolt as tight as it will go. I'll have to DIY a fix for this. All movements are very smooth. I would recommend in spite of the one flaw in mine.
Well designed and constructed, this mount feels rock solid. I especially like the smooth & silky resistance feeling on the slow motion controls and clutch. Its size and 10kg capacity give me confidence that my visual telescope set-up is stable and safe. The vixen clamp design is not my favorite choice, but it has triple lock security (works well) and can be interchanged if you like. Overall, I am very pleased with this mount. It`s a good value, like most SVBony products! I also reviewed this product in detail on my YouTube site at "Astrophotography Japan".
A well made robust fully adjustable telescope mount. Suitable for astronomical and terestrial use. Ideal if you want to use for a quick observing session and cant be bothered toget all your goto kit assembled. Or use for bird watching. Ideal size to take on holiday. Can be supplied with a light weight aluminium tripod for use with smaller telescopes up to about 3Kg. The telescope mount is cable of taking a 5/6Kg scope, so if you ahve an eq5 or 6 tripod you could purchase an adapter which screws onto your tripod and will accept the 3/8 fitting of the SV225. Brilliant and versitile.
