SV305C Pro Camera 2MP USB3.0 Guiding Camera
Great camera for a great price
Have to be honest - I have been a bit skeptical about the camera given it's rather low price compared to similar spec'd brands. However, you will be surprised not just about the performance but also about the build-quality. Sealed in a metal frame, it feels solid and indestructible. It comes securely packaged along with all cables and additional spacers. With recent driver updates, you can connect the camera to any software package including any ASCOM compliant client. I tested with SharpCap as well as N.I.N.A - both work great. Together with the SV503 80mm refractor - it produces beautiful and sharp results. Given it's HD resolution you are probably restricted to planetary captures but given it also supports the ST4 auto guider port - it represents a great alternative as guide scope as well. I tested with PHD2 and star detection and tracking work great. Overall - great camera for a great price!! Clear skies everyone.

ED Doublet Refractor Telescope for Astrophotography SV503 102 | Svbony
A telescope that deserves a good reputation
Hey guys, I recently got a new refractor. The Svbony SV503 ED 102/714. My first refractor with ED glass. In terms of quality, the whole telescope comes across at a high level. It is built solidly and just feels valuable.The dual-speed-RAP-focuser is my highlight! My God! It glides so nice and soft ... now focusing is always a pleasure. Nothing grinds when focusing and there is also no silicone grease that sticks to the fingers. A rotating focuser and ring clips add value to the telescope. But even such simple parts as the screws are milled very filigree and can be moved very smoothly. The lens cap is made of metal and sits well on the dew cap, which can also be moved. That reduces the dimensions during transport. Without tube rings, the tube weighs 3353 g. The ED glass makes a very nice, clear image. Chromatic aberrations only come to light at high magnification and in certain light situations. Finally I can make observations during the day (with low power eyepieces) without disturbing chromatic aberrations. Just yesterday I was watching the moon and I didn't notice any chromatic aberrations! Not even with my Baader Classic Ortho 6mm! Maybe it was because of the position of the moon... I don’t know… All I can say: Svbonys ED-Glas is in no comparison to an achromatic lens! And the negative? It's just a shame that the Svbony doesn't have a 120mm opening. I would buy again!

SVBONY SV227 OIII 5nm 2-inch Telescope Filter for Nebula Imaging
A true OIII Filter that works awesome!
I bought the filter in 2 "for my Svbony SV503 102/714 refractor and my Skywatcher 250P Newton. The filter does exactly what it should. It lets the light of the ionized oxygen through between 495nm and 500nm. I tested it together with the Baader UHC-S filter. The Svbony OIII Filter emphasized the contrast on different nebulae more than the UHC. I noticed a difference in particular with the dumbbell nebula and the ring nebula. I was very pleased. I can absolutely recommend the filter for observation.

SV136 Telescope Eyepieces 2 inch 34mm 72 Degree for DSO Observation
Perfekt vision with a huge field of view
The 2" 34 mm eyepiece has become my favorite overview eyepiece. I use it on my Svbony SV503 102/714 ED refractor as well as on my Skywatcher 250p Newton. I compared it to other expensive brands and couldn't tell a difference! The image is as sharp as a razor and the surfaces are all completely coated. The eyepiece also holds up well. It is easy to grip and does not slip away. The high-contrast label makes it easy to read even in the dark. I also like that when I wear glasses I can simply turn the eyecup down. A really cool piece! I am absolutely thrilled with Svbony.

SVBONY SV188P 99% Reflectivity 90-Degree Dielectric Mirror Diagonal
Bright and contrasty
I bought the 1.25 "mirror to be able to look into the zenith on my previous telescope. In contrast to a simple zenith mirror, the Svbony SV188P Dielectric Diagonal is a real win. The image is visibly brighter and the image quality at high magnification has also improved. Thanks to the ring clamp, the eyepieces remain free from scratches. Overall a very good mirror!

Svbony SV45 10-30x50 HD Waterproof Monocular
Solid Construction. Smoth focus. Good optics.
The construction feels firm, the focus adjustment is smooth, and the optical result is surprising. I was in doubt how the SV 45 model compared to the SV32, in the 10x50 sizes, because the specs on the website seem to omit some information. The SV32's page says it has "8 pieces/6 groups lens structure", SV45's doesn't. On the other hand, on the SV45 page it says that the lenses are Fully Multi Coated (FMC), the SV32 doesn't. Then I looked at the description on the amazon.de website and there is more complete information there, including the same lens structure (8/6 Gruppen zur Reduzierung von Verzerrungen). SV45 has, therefore, better specs than SV32 and the end result is, in fact, very good. A bargain for the price.

68 Degree Wide Angle Eyepieces | Svbony
Hard to believe….but TRUE
Btw, I own several ED refractors, including a Stellarvue 80ED and a Televue 85 along with a 127mm Maksutov, and among the eyepieces I use with all of them are SvBony 68-degree APOV 6mm, 9mm, 15mm and 20mm (the red and black ones) and ALL of these are every bit as sharp and contrasty as my Explore Scientific EPs in the same or similar size. Hard to believe….but TRUE. And my SvBony 2x Barlow is actually BETTER than two “brand” name units I also own. You guys make some great gear.

SV105 Planetary Camera IMX307 for Beginners Astrophotography
Great!
Excellent construction quality. It works in Windows and on Android smartphone. Delivers good quality pictures for planets and moon. For its price, is the best planetary camera for someone who wants to check out planetary imaging. I will purchase the 305 but I will keep the 105 for when I want to shoot without laptop since the 105 makes portability a breeze since it connects to an android phone or tablet using vUSB camera app.

SVBONY SV501P Telescope 70/400 Portable Refractor for Adults Astronomy
This refractor is a winner!
I wanted to give away a telescope to the kids for Christmas and didn't want to spend a fortune (only about US$ 100) because the young and wild ones are not known for their patience and appreciation. It should be a short focal length refractor because I would like to make widefield observations and it should be easy to target an object. The telescope should also be used on excursions into nature. So ideally be light and space-saving. I thought I would try the Svbony SV501P 70/400. I was right to go with Svbony. It comes with a nice backpack in which the telescope, tripod, a 45° prism, a 20 mm Kellner eyepiece and the 5x24 finder scope can be stored. In total, the complete set weighs only 1,7 kg! The 45 cm high tripod can be extended to 125 cm. The kids can look well into the eyepiece. The tripod holds the telescope and can still be easily moved in almost all directions. With a little practice it is easy to use. Only when trying to see objects near the zenith, it gets a bit tricky. But even with my Az3 mount it's not that easy. What surprised me in this price range was the coating! Intense green! I know that from more expensive telescopes. In direct comparison with the SV503 102/714, the small SV501P looks pretty short. But that's why I chose the telescope. That's exactly how space-saving and compact it should be. I have to say that I am very surprised with the image quality. You can see chromatic aberrations, yes, but not nearly as prevalent as I expected.

Svbony SV131 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece 6/12/17/25/40mm for Telescope
noticeable upgrade compared to simple eyepieces
I own the 6mm, 12mm, 17mm and 25mm Svbony Plössl. They feel good and the picturequality is pretty good. they also convince with their coated lens and the black thread which leads to non-reflective images. they are not completely free of distortion (that is hardly any eyepiece) but for the price they are a huge step up compared to simple set eyepieces. Its a a purchase recommendation without a doubt!

1.25inch 7mm to 21mm 57°-40° Zoom Eyepiece | SVBONY SV135
Very pleased
Arrived earlier than expected with the economy delivery. Zoom is excellent, very sharp, good contrast and barlows well. Big improvement from the stock eyepieces that came with the telescope. Couldn't recommend enough!

SVBONY SV188P 99% Reflectivity 90-Degree Dielectric Mirror Diagonal
Great piece!
Perfect product with excellent features. And sustainable package, without needless papers and prospects and plastic. But please tell your customers, which adapter is needed for Cassegrain - and give the link to the product in your shop!

SV165 30mm F4 Mini Guide Scope for Astrophotography
Perfect Guider Scope, but not to use as simple fin
Astonishing quality for a good price. But you can only use it with a camera! If you want to use it just with bare eyes, you need extras, focus extender, focuser, eyepiece. Please Svbony tell your customers which extras to take for that use and give the links to the products in your shop! And thanks a lot that you are packing so environment-friendly without too much waste!

68 Degree Wide Angle Eyepieces | Svbony
1.25 Ultra Wide 6mm eyepiece
These ultra-wide eyepieces are incredible when compared to the eyepieces that come with the telescopes. At least that was the case with the 2 previous store-bought telescopes I have. Not only is the view brighter/wider when viewed through the actual eyepiece but the view out of the business end of the telescope is so much brighter/wider. What do I have to compare this to? Well, I said I have 2 relatively cheap refractor telescopes. In BOTH of those telescopes, I tried a 1.25 62 degree wide 6mm eyepiece. This one was bought by the same company for $11.00. I thought it would work great with these cheaper telescopes. I was wrong. It is these 2 telescopes that made me a believer out of this more expensive, yet reasonably priced eyepiece ($39.95). Keep in mind that BOTH 6mm eyepieces are from the same company, SVBOY. It's just that one is 6mm wide and the newer one is 6mm ultra-wide. It is the ultra-wide that outshined the 6mm wide eyepiece. The scopes I tested them out on are as follow: SCOPE 1: MAXX Explore - 70mm with a focal length of 400mm SCOPE 2: National Geographic Travel Scope 60mm with a focal length of 360mm If they work great on these lower-end telescopes I can only imagine how much better they will work on larger telescopes. I am 100% satisfied. GREAT JOB.

SV106 Guide Scope 50mm with Helical Focuser for Astronomical Telescope
Autoguidage réussi.
Agacé par les prix exorbitant de fabricants tel que Williams optics pour ne pas les citer, qui vendent l'équivalent à quasiment 200€, donc pour une lunette achromatique de 50mm!!! j'ai donc fait le choix de Svbony et je ne suis absolument pas déçu, j'ai pris la totale, la barre vixens la pince de fixation puis un petit porte oculaire a vis pour éviter le renvoie coudé, ce qui me permet deux choses, 1 cela fait office de tube allonge et 2 la caméra est protégé par une bague en téflon très bien pensé donc zéro rayures et matériel protégé. Le montage est enfantin, monté en 5min chrono, pas besoin de manuel car la chose a été très bien pensé,très polyvalent se monte sur quasiment touts les tube. Je travaille avec phd2, les résultats ont étés immédiats, je possède pourtant une QHY5riiC donc pas une bête de guerre mais la luminosité et la qualité optique de la lunette mon permis de sortir un bel autoguidage long et stable, aucune interruption pour cause d'étoile faible ou quoi que ce soit. Je viens de découvrir le plate solving (Ascap) et aucuns soucis, tout passe correct, il faut pourtant une image bien plus défini que pour l'autoguidage afin que le soft fasse son office et reconnaisse les étoiles dans le champ. La texture et la peinture noir mat sont magnifiques les filetages fins sont très agréables à manipuler, le réglage hélicoïdal est ultra précis, bref tout y est, pour une fraction du prix d'autres constructeurs! C'est le choix judicieux économe polyvalent & efficace.

SVBONY SV202 8x32 ED Binoculars with Bak4 Prism Waterproof for Birding
top binoculars at low cost
I have bought the 10x42 Ed modell.Well,we have amazing optical and mechanical quality here.When I have got the binoculars it was "love at first site".It looks great with the red coatings on the lenses and with the black,high quality rubber armor.The focusing wheel moves quite easy,altough it has a little resistance,so not so easy like I see at another binoculars,but it has no play at all,and is from metal,it's a joy to use it.It has also high quality,very comfortable,solid rubber eyepieces,you have the posibility to stop them even between the fix clicks and they hold the position very well.The lens covers are,also,high quality and they fit well.What about the optics? It gives you an amazingly sharp image!I have used many entry or middle level binoculars untill now,from brands like Vanguard,Opticron,Delta or Lacerta.Of course,each of them have strong and weak points.But this Svbony is number one in sharpness.Of course,it suffers from softening at the edges,but the amount is normal for this configuration,20-22% of the visual field.Another highlight of this binoculars is the NEUTRALITY OF THE COLOURS,you can use it like a control instrument for colour fidelity.It has also an excelent light transmission for a 10x42 configuration,I have tested it and the sharpness remain good late in the evening.Colour fringing,altough present,it is minimal.Overall,I am very very impressed! Customer service is great.Very kind people,fast delivery altough I live at 6000km.Good job Svbony!

1.25inch 7mm to 21mm 57°-40° Zoom Eyepiece | SVBONY SV135
That's an AMAZING Eyepiece
When I bought my first telescope they told me to buy a good quality eyepiece because the gear will change but the Eyepiece won't. So i tried this optic and it's simply amazing. The first thing to catch your eye is for sure the zoom, it's very smooth and precise, also 7-21mm is a great range and it will help you to find perfectly your target. Talking about the quality of costruction the aluminium gives very good feelings same theng for the rubber bands around it that helps you to zoom really precisely. The imaging quality is stunning considering the price of this eyepiece, yesterday I was able to whatch jupiter whit his satellites. Overall This is a fantastic Eyepiece for beginners and for expert astronomers, It will surely amaze you like It did to me.

SV46P 20-60x80 ED Spotting Scope with Dual Focus Ideal for observation wildlife
Amazed with the build quality :)
I have recently bought this scope, and I had a chance to do a direct comparison to the other - more budget option (Acuter 20-60x80). What I do like about SV46P is very low chromatic aberration, bright image even at x60 zoom, compact size (tube is surprisingly short) and superior dual-speed focus - it is the thing which really allows super precise focusing. What downsides can I see - to the edges image is loosing sharpness a bit (nothing major but if I need to find a downside - that would be the one), soft neoprene case is awesome (perfect fit!) but lacks a cover to the focus wheels - in transport I would feel more confident having them covered :)
