What makes our products unique?
Behind the SVBONY products, there is a team in which everyone is creative, collaborative and responsible. We've made a niche category, the reason is that we want people to see more realistic images in the original way, instead of just upgrading the camera on the phone.
Why do we love what we do?
We do think optics products are practical and educational, which connects people to the world, not just for a small part of person, but for everyone. SVBONY leads us to a more beautiful world which we usually can’t see, and we want to bring this beauty to everyone.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
Generally speaking I need to slightly recenter the crosshairs at the beginning of each viewing session as they do not lock, which is typical of many finderscopes that I have had (but not true for all of them). That is easy to do and it holds well enough for a viewing session.
The optics in the eyepiece portion came misassembled. On my copy it was assembled like this (| |) it should be |) (|.
For anyone who has this problem, it is easily fixed since the eyepiece assembly unscrews from the diagonal, and the lenses and spacers come out after unscrewing the crosshair piece at the base of the eyepiece. Before the fix only the center of the field of vision could be focused, whereas once fixed most of the field of view is reasonably well focused.
This problem occurs only on some units and others were correctly manufactured. This may explain some of the poor performance reported in previous reviews
