SVBONY's first cooling camera SV405CC Review

What is a cooling camera?

The light receiving sensor of the camera becomes more noisy at high temperatures and less at low temperatures. By cooling the light receiving sensor, you can obtain a low noise image.

In addition, the temperature control function of the cooling device allows you to shoot at a constant temperature during use, so you can obtain a uniform image without being affected by changes in the outside temperature even when shooting for a long time.

Opening Ceremony

Well then, I will open it!

Here is the state that arrived from SVBONY.

Packed SV405CC

It is tightly packed with cushioning material + vinyl tape from the top of the outer cardboard. If you cut it open with a utility knife etc., the exterior will appear.

Inside the cardboard was a box of packages, another paper box, and a souvenir key chain.

You can see the heat dissipation plate on the side of the camera. The sensor protection cap is on the left side. This cap is so loose that it could slip off when lifted.
