SV123 Black Metal Spotting Scope Camera Adapter Extensionable
Adapter adapts — does the job cleanly and securely Does exactly what it's supposed to do — the adapter adapts. The SVBONY SV123 connects your camera to the SV46 spotting scope cleanly and securely, bridging the 49mm to 58mm eyepiece. Fit is solid, no wobble, and it works as intended for digiscoping. If you're pairing this with a spotting scope and camera setup for long-range target shooting or nature photography, it's a functional, no-fuss solution. Simple product that works. Good value for the price.

SVBONY SV116 Adjustable Guide Scope Rings Kit for 43mm-70mm Telescope
Gute aber nicht günstig Die Schiene passt exakt auf den Standard-Sucherschuh. Hab mein 8x50 Finderscope damit auf nem C8 montiert. Der Preis ist mMn etwas hoch.

SVBONY SV115 1.25" OIII 18nm Narrowband Filter for Astronomy Telescope
Surprisingly good for the cost Some folks shy away from 1.25 oiii's but the key is exit pupil...on a lower power eyepiece this one is surprisingly good.

SV112 1.25inch Eyepiece Projection Kit for Telescope Astrophotography
Faltan instrucciones No vendría mal algún tipo de croquis de como acoplarlo para los menos experimentados. Incluye una anilla que no tengo muy claro para que es, pues hay sitios donde no entra y otros donde va muy holgada.

SVBONY SV111 All-Metal Binocular Tripod Mount Adapter with Rubber Grip
It fit fine, and seems to be durable For the price you cant beat it. I use it to mount my Leupold McKenzie 10x42 onto my tripod. It fit fine, and seems to be durable. Only issue is that the binos if bumped could move side to side a little. Also was kind of hard to attach to the binos as there is not much room to allow fingers to tighten. Other then that, great product. Especially for what I need.

SVBONY SV111 All-Metal Binocular Tripod Mount Adapter with Rubber Grip
Works for some, need to trim for some others. I bought this for large aperture roof prism binoculars because space is very tight for this type. It works on some of those, but not for others. Threads are too long to be screwed in completely on Bushnell Trophy Xtreme. I had to cut the threads short by quite a lot so it can be tightened. Comparing to Barska and Vanguard, those feel better in hand, but they don't fit the binoculars I intend to use. Update (Aug 27, 2016): I tested the screw itself on Trophy Xtreme, the threads can get in completely now after trimming. However, it still requires some effort to tighten. I wonder if it is because of lacking of a rubber washer.

SVBONY SV110 All-Metal Tripod Mount Adapter for Porro Binoculars
Perfect with normal (Keplerian) binoculars; issues with widefield (Galilean) binocularsPerfect with normal (Keplerian) binoculars; issues with widefield (Galilean) binoculars The SV110 is a sturdy item, whose base bolts securely to an Arca-type quick release tripod plate (not supplied; I had one to spare). The rubberised thumbscrew on the SV110 is large enough to get a good tight grip. It holds my Orion Ultraview 10x50 binoculars very well. The threaded bolt on the SV110 is plenty long, and I was happy to see that the socket on my 10x50s was even deeper than the bolt, so they tighten well together. It was a different story with my Orion 2x54 widefield (Galilean) binoculars. I emphasize that before I bought the SV110, I did anticipate that this combination might not work well, and these are really compact handheld binoculars anyway; but I still wanted to try it. There were 3 issues on the 2x54s: 1) The SV110 protrudes forward a lot from the objective lenses (see 1st photo), so it is partly visible at the edge of the field of view of the binoculars (2nd photo). 2) The "stem" (vertical bar) of the SV110 bends/tilts the wrong way for these binoculars - backwards towards your face, instead of forwards away from it. It gets in the place where your nose should be (3rd photo). You have to position your eyes and nose right up the eyepieces to see the full field of view with Galilean binoculars, so this nose obstruction is a problem. 3) The threaded socket on the 2x54s is a bit shorter than the threaded bolt on the SV110, leaving a gap of about 1 mm (1st photo again). So you need to add a washer to make them couple tightly.

SVBONY SV110 All-Metal Tripod Mount Adapter for Porro Binoculars
Beware Vortex Binoculars Owners This binoculars adapter is sturdy and allows me to mount onto my camera tripod or iPhone tripod. It was too thick for my Vortex Crossfires to close enough for me to have a proper view, but I was okay to have it filed thinner and spray painted. It now closes much more and the metal adapter is still strong. The knob doesn't feel nice to turn which is my main complaint. But for the price it's good enough for me.

SVBONY SV110 All-Metal Tripod Mount Adapter for Porro Binoculars
Good Price But Attaching Screw Head is Too Large I have some middle of the road 15x52 binoculars that I needed a tripod adapter for. The price on this adapter is very good. My binoculars, like many sharing a similar design, have a small space between the barrels, which are adjusted to fit the interpupillary distance of the user. When that distance is small, there is very little room between the barrels for a tripod adapter. This adapter is narrow front to back, except for the screw used to tightened it to the binoculars. First thing I tried was removing the rubber cover over the screw, which was pretty large. But even after doing there, there was still too much distance. The other problem is having a finger tight screw end does not allow for getting the adapter reasonable tight so it does not move around on the tripod. My solution, which I was able to do with parts in the workshop, was to remove the factory mounting screw (you need to remove a small locking ring) and replace the screw with a 1/4"x20 x 1" hex socket black bolt. Luckily, I had a length of 1/4" ID bronze bushing so the assembly would fit tight. I used a 1/4" flat washer on one end and a small o-ring to hold the bolt in place when it was not in use. Using a 3/16" Allen wrench, I am able to get this very tight. It is easy to mount and to remove. I think the picture is self explanatory. (The picture does not show the o-ring, however.)

SV109 Variable M42 Thread Extension Tube
Excellent for the price For the cost, this is a great tool to get your camera's backfocus adjusted. I only knock it down a star as it can be a little hard to get it to really lock up good, but on the same token, when you DO get it tightened, it can be hard to loosen up again as you don't have much for your fingers to grip onto below the adjustment ring (the female side). I think in the future, I'll likely use some blue threadlocker on it so I don't have to worry about it coming loose without needing to overtighten it.

SV109 Variable M42 Thread Extension Tube
Product OK- Customer Service Not So Easy I was a satisfied customer of SVBONY products, and this adapter is not a bad product. But I received the wrong adapter in the right box. I ordered a 48mm and got a 42. Then for some wacky reason I thought I would tell SVBONY that item in the box did not match the label on the box and that on Svbony, the 42 and 48mm adapters have the same model number but separate listings and different product descriptions, and that if you search for either one both products are returned. I thought this was unnecessarily confusing. I had ordered the 48mm and received a box for the 48mm, but the adapter in the box was a 42mm. The reply seemed to suggest that if I had ordered a 48 I would have received a 48...and if I reordered, I would get what I ordered. I thought that was a bit odd in response to the suggestion that the product descriptions could be made clearer. Perhaps having bridge English and Chinese was part of the problem. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered at all and just returned it. :<) The conversation soon became as tedious as this review, and I simply returned the adapter. Then to put this in perspective I ordered, directly from the US manufacturer a different adapter. It came on time, but it was the wrong size. I called and a nice CSR, said let me be sure I understand which size and style and I will send out a replacement and a prepaid label for the return. It arrived promptly and it was a different wrong size. I called them up and a different but still polite and friendly person, said, let me pull one from stock, check the size with calipers and send it by overnight express. Send the other two back when you can. Third time lucky. So I will give SVBONY a pass on this one.

SV106 60mm f/4 Guide Scope Multi-Use Finder Scope with Helical Focuser
Gutes Bild Das Gerät kann man gut scharfstellen, allerdings benötigt man etwas Übung, insbesondere nachts kann man schnell die falsche Einstellschraube erwischen. Deshalb nur 4 Punkte.

SV106 60mm f/4 Guide Scope Multi-Use Finder Scope with Helical Focuser
Couldnt get it to focus.... I bought this since it was the cheaper of the oddly similar guidescopes available despite swearing never to buy any optics from this brand again (I have some of their dew heaters which are fine). I couldnt get it to focus out of the box, then realized the extension tube is hiding inside. Extended it and hey presto. Focus is achieved. Seems solidly built (heavier than i had expected), and slots right into my astromania dovetail bracket, which fits nicely on my celestron SCT. Of course cloudy skys, so i'll update once I get to use it.

SV106 60mm f/4 Guide Scope Multi-Use Finder Scope with Helical Focuser
Good value. Helical focuser needed some tweaking. The helical focus adjustment had a lot of play in it and I found achieving fine focus to be difficult. I'm not sure if I was supposed to touch them, but I tried tightening/loosening the (3) the hex screws on the helical focus wheel and that seems to have made the movement smoother. This is the second scope I received from SvBONY - the first scope I received was missing a part, and SvBONY customer service was great; they shipped me a new one right away. After the above mentioned "tweaks," I find the scope easier to focus.

SV106 60mm f/4 Guide Scope Multi-Use Finder Scope with Helical Focuser
Good scope, great price Scope is well constructed, currently using as a finderscope, objects are much brighter than the default 30mm finderscope that my telescope came with. Note that the scope as straight thru for eyepiece only, I could not get it to focus with a star diagonal. The scope also gives me flexibility to use it as a guidescope in the future. The focusing system is precise but I found the dual focusing to be a bit tedious and focus locks do not work that well, I could still adjust the focus after tightening down the focusing lock screws. In all, a great scope, great value, good versatility.

SV106 60mm f/4 Guide Scope Multi-Use Finder Scope with Helical Focuser
Not too well thought out My primary use for this is as a guide scope. There are some problems that need to be addressed. First, the rear ring mount, if placed in the original position with the front mount against the lip on the dew shield interferes with the draw tube lock. You have two solutions - slide the scope back and secure the front ring on the dew shield or drill a second mounting hole to move the rear ring forward. I chose the 2nd for a reason. The objective is secured by the dew shield. You unscrew the dew shield maybe 5 - 6 mm and you can have the objective in your hand. Or on the floor. That's why the dew shield is not an especially good way to support the front of the scope. There is not enough back focus to use the ZWO120mm camera without some extension. The camera does come with a 22 mm extension and that is enough to get you to focus. Note that the camera cannot be fully seated but is about 1/2 way out of the focuser with everything extended. It should work well enough, but it's not quite ready to go out of the box. It does focus well enough, although the helical portion is a bit stiff. The draw tube has a scale to use different gear more easily. The image seems decently sharp.
