Sharpe and bright with no fringing. Colour good. Darkens a bit at x60 but still reasonably sharpe and useable. Dual focus knob is great, allowing a light touch for final focus so not to wobble when on a light tripod. Well built and light to carry. Nice protective jacket. Definitely recommend for birding.

A protective sleeve is smart and well designed, so you don't need to remove it as it has detachable lense front and eyepiece back side leaving a tripod attachment and a double speed focuser outside. An image is BRIGHT, sharp and clear without any imperfections I could notice at all (call me lucky) up to a maximum of its zoom. Is its price justified comparing to a cheaper model - I have absolutely no idea, but between my cheap zoom binoculars and 5" Mak telescope, this is a most reasonable replacement for my 25x75mm binoculars. Don't be ever fooled with any videos showing magnification compared to an eye view which is always presented as the one taken by phone's camera (waay from being realistic). x60 is not much but is spot on maximum like for a 80mm front lense. Everything makes good sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars TRUE VALUE FOR MONEY

blown away by the build quality of the svbony SV406P, the quality of image is exceptional, as is the ease of operation.I am a semi professional standard photographer, and will use this for for wildlife spotting on the west coast of Scotland and the other Hebrides in conjunction with my camera and video work. I also has a peek at the moon and planets last evening thro the SV406P and can honestly say I will perhaps be doing some astro photography as the image was stunning.. I have also bought the DSLR camera adaptor kit and a little gadget with which you can also attach a mobile phone. A very happy purchaser and will be purchasing more equipment from Svbony. for your ref I paid almost £300 for the SV406P, and note its now come down in price by £10 with a further 5% off at the time of writing this review in jan 2025. enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars A great scope for the price

B. · 14 February 2025

I chose this scope above others in the same price bracket because it allowed me to easily change out the supplied eyepiece. This allowed me to easily use my preferred Bader MarkIV - making this a superb option, and putting the scope into a much higher price bracket.To do justice to the scope 'as supplied', I did spend a couple of days using the 'given' eyepiece. This was not bad at all, and someone buying the scope 'as seen' would have little to complain about. Even looking at the moon, there was little fringing or distortion.(These are my own thoughts on an item I have purchased)

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than my old scope

It took me a while to eventually give up on my old telescope and binoculars and splash out on this spotting scope. I wanted a scope to cover daytime and night-time viewing and after months of research this spotting scope fitted the bill. I ordered, I waited, and when it arrived I was like a little kid on Christmas Day.In all this excitement I had forgotten about a good tripod, again my old cheapo one was ready for the bin so I packed away my new scope and researched for a good steady tripod with a budget of £100. My research led me to this tripod https://www.Bolo.co.uk/dp/B0BVFBV1KS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleSadly the first tripod got lost in the post 😕 so Bolo re-ordered and it arrived 3 days later.I set up the tripod in my bedroom and fitted my new scope, at last I could see what this scope could do. It totally out performed my old scope, the image of my surroundings was crystal clear, even through a window. The zoom works nice and smooth as does the focus (the outer small focus wheel is for fine focusing, it is very ‘loose’ but I read this is normal). The scope comes with a very nice protective carry case which I haven’t used yet.A few days later the night sky was clear albeit I live in a well lit town so there is a lot of light pollution. My first test, Saturn, my online sky map showed me where Saturn was, a small tiny dot to my eye, I aligned the scope to where Saturn was, keeping the zoom at 20. After a few minutes observing I was convinced I had Saturn in view of my eyepiece so I zoomed to 60, wow, I could see Saturn and its rings in very good detail, I was pleasantly surprised.I have now ordered a 5mm eyepiece to give me a magnification of 86X, hopefully I’ll be able to see objects even closer. Highly recommend for the nature and night sky lover.

Bought for my son as a graduation gift, he didn’t know he was getting it and absolutely thrilled with it. Nice and clear and can see for miles, bird watching just gone up a notch. No complaints here! Will need a stand as quite heavy to hold. Just bought the cheap one from Bolo basics for now-works well but will probably upgrade in time.

Spot on! I have the non ED version and I like that. This is definitely an upgrade, it is brighter (especially at full zoom). The protective cover is so much better. Feels like a great quality scope. The fine focus is great. Highly recommend and I don’t think you could get better without spending 10x more (and is it 10x better?)

immagine molto nitida e definita

Immagini molto nitide e con colori fedeli, senza particolari aberrazioni cromatiche, messa a fuoco molto precisa e veloce con la doppia ghiera. Ora sto provando a fare delle foto della luna con un adattatore per proiezione oculare che mi sono stampato in 3D. Attendo una giornata limpida per fare dei nuovi scatti e pubblicare qualche foto.

5 Sterne, weil Preis - Leistung gut bis sehr gut, teilweise TOP Abbildungseigenschaften.

Jetzt muss ich mal die Lanze für dieses SV 406P ED Spektiv brechen! Zuerst nach 3 Tagen die Rücksendung beantragt, weil eine brauchbare Qualität nur im 20 bis 40er Faktor erzielt wurde. Dann war da auf einmal dieser klare Tag mit reiner Luft. Dazu ein vernünftiges Stativ- und ich meine ein richtig stabiles Stativ, so wie ich es für Mittelformatkameras (6x7) verwende, das war‘s! Plötzlich ist die Scharfstellung auch im vollen Vergrößerungsbereich gelungen, wenngleich dazu eine hauchdünne Nuance am Einstellungsrad erforderlich ist, ABER gestochen scharf, unglaublich. Der Mond im 60er Faktor zum Greifen nahe, ein Bussard in 150m Entfernung auf die Federn scharfgestellt. Ich bin Profi-Fotograf, mit über 45 Jahren Erfahrung, Objektive sind da schnell mal 5stellig. Es war ein Versuch, kann man um 300 € in diesen Vergrößerungsbereichen überhaupt eine Qualität erreichen? JA! Es ist verwunderlich, wie gut diese Linsen abbilden. Das ED-Glas macht da sicher einiges aus. Das Gesamtbild kontrastreich, erstaunlich wenig Farbsäume, auch im Streulicht. Ich konnte ein 6000 € Spektiv vergleichen- ja, klar besser! Aber dieser Unterschied ist keinesfalls 5700 € wert! Ein Thema bleibt, ohne einem stabilen Stativ mit Fluidkopf (kostet leider mehr als das Spektiv) ist es nahezu unbrauchbar. Die Verzögerung des Fluids erleichtert die Suche nach Objekten, weil damit kleinste Einstellungen möglich sind. Daher für Wanderungen eher nicht geeignet, dann schleppt man 12 Kilo am Rücken, aber für Urlaub usw. absolut zu empfehlen. 1Beinstative sind nur im untersten Zoombereich anzuraten. Für Wanderungen ist das kleinere SV 410 9-27x56 ED ein Tipp, das ist um 2/3 kleiner und braucht nur ein leichtes Stativ mit Fluid-Kopf. Fazit: Für im Verhältnis wenig Geld viel Freude, reine Luft, dann geht sehr viel, der 20 bis 40er Bereich ist sehr gut, weil leicht einzustellen. Dazu noch austauschbare Okulare!!! Noch ein Tipp, um die beste Schärfe zu erreichen, das Okular „eindrehen“ auf Anschlag einstecken scharfstellen und durch die Drehung des gesamten Okulars kann die Qualität evtl. noch verbessert werden. Viel Spaß! (Ich kannte Svbony vorher nicht, aber es war die beste Auswahl)

Bra prestanda

M.E. · 16 February 2023

Har spanat på fåglar och andra djur och det ser jättebra ut upp till 40x zoom iaf. En del color fringe och svårare att se på max zoom.Har även använt kikaren på natten och sett en komet, orion nebulosa, mars, andromedagalaxen, pleiaderna. Funkar bra att använda med andra 1.25” okular från stjärnkikare, men den medföljande zoomen är helt ok.

Très bonne longue vue avec un bon rapport qualité prix

P. · 25 June 2025

Livraison sous 24h et colis en très bon état. La longue-vue est de très bon qualité aussi bien au niveau des matériaux que des finitions. Juste un essai, mais déjà très satisfait du résultat, les couleurs ressortent bien, la mise au point est précise grâce au réglage rapide et au réglage fin. En observant un lisière de forêt à 1,4 km, l'image est nette, les couleurs plutôt corrects et ceci malgré les perturbations dues à la chaleur (mouvement de l'image). Attention, la longue vue reste assez lourde et il faut un pied adapté. Avec un Bolo Basics Trépied léger de 152 cm cela fonctionne mais le pointage est délicat (il faut bien ajuste le serrage dans les différentes directions pour avoir assez de dureté mais pas de trop pour orienter la longue vue.Attention le support smartphone SV214 n'est pas compatible, le diamètre de l'objectif est une peu trop grand pour le système de fixation.

Maakt reputatie waar!

Ik heb in totaal 4 kijkers besteld, waaronder deze. 2 merkloze (170-190€) en 1 van een grote bekende Duitse fabrikant (300€). Deze was absoluut de beste. De kleuren blijven vrij goed bij het inzoomen. De kijker blijft ook behoorlijk scherp bij het zoomen en is bovenal heel makkelijk en soepel scherp te stellen. Hij is ook net iets zwaarder en er lijkt meer en beter glas in te zitten dan de overige 3 die ik had besteld. Deze kan absoluut concurreren met een kijker van 500-600€ of meer. Er zit een mooie, handige hoes bij en de lens is net iets groter (breder) dan de andere en is uitneembaar. Dit is prettig.
