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, that's why we are here.

First off I'll have to admit its a good spotting scope. BUT the 1st one I got had issues. Had a strong plastics chemical smell as others commented. The bag it came with, the scope and tripod all had this. Airing it out for 3 days didn't take care of it and I'm sensitive to smells. 2ed the cover for the big len always kept falling off. 3rd I saw what looked like glue gun gel poking out from the middle. 4th was not tightened at the middle and could be twisted on or off.
So I contacted the seller. Who told me that for the smell I could either exchange it or air it out and they'll reimburse me an amount. Yet after I sent them pictures of the other issues they admitted it was likely defective and I exchanged it instead with Amazon not the seller.
Honestly that fixed every thing. I recommend people who have such issues to just exchange it
I know many posted that the phone holder doesn't work but honestly it works if your persistent with it. The moon pictures posted were taken using both the tripod and the mobile holder but was hard to angel it out correctly.
I now find it faster to just use the tripod and my hands in holding my mobile device for pictures than the phone holder. I don't have experience with other mobile holders so can't say that another would be easier, faster or better.
I have a professional large tripod and this little one does it's job for a quick pull out latch on and use. I know others commented negative about the metal quality yet does what is needed so can't complain.
One issue that I've seen in both products (the returned and kept product) is the bag's separator is not able to latch on to the inside of the bag. So with both the tripod and mobile holder inside I often wondered if the separator would allow one to fall through and rub against the scope if not careful. The bag is thin. I have a similar bag type for my large tripod. Yet I feel I have to be careful as I carry or place down the bag with the scope in it. Wish there was better protection for the scope. Nevertheless that would likely mean it would be more expensive. The price is right. The scope has great distance. Seems to be more powerful than other expensive scopes I've seen but not purchased. So its a savings in price. 😁
Honestly for how close I get to see the moon it really does look as good as a good sized telescope I once had. Add on camera zoom you can see it even better detail. Looks better in the scope than I feel the pictures were able to get.

So with both the tripod and mobile holder inside I often wondered if the separator would allow one to fall through and rub against the scope if not careful. The bag is thin. I have a similar bag type for my large tripod. Yet I feel I have to be careful as I carry or place down the bag with the scope in it. Wish there was better protection for the scope. Nevertheless that would likely mean it would be more expensive. The price is right. The scope has great distance. Seems to be more powerful than other expensive scopes I've seen but not purchased. So its a savings in price. 😁
Honestly for how close I get to see the moon it really does look as good as a good sized telescope I once had. Add on camera zoom you can see it even better detail. Looks better in the scope than I feel the pictures were able to get.
I’m sure if you spent more money you could find something with a crystal clear image, but we’ve had no issues with it thus far shooting white paper targets in sunny desert conditions.
The tripod is terrible but functional. The case is cheap and it is not big enough to hold the scope and the tripod.
We used the SVBONY SV28 Spotting Scope while target shooting from 25-yards out to 100-yards and it functioned well for that purpose. For its very low price, it gets the job done, so I can't complain.
However as you adjust power up, the images appear fuzzy .
The scope caps and carrying bag are pretty basic (no cap retention or case padding) but do the job adequately. The tripod feels a little flimsy at first but is well designed and allows you to lock in rotation and elevation with authority. This spotting scope does not allow for the rotation of the body along the scope's axis, but this was not problematic in any way, and it was comfortable to view with from a seated position with the scope on a table in front of me. I think the scope is light enough that it may be prone to blowing over in moderate to high winds. Overall, this is an excellent spotting scope for range use and would probably serve you well for birding or other observing as well. I did not have a chance to try the scope out in low light but may try to view the Orion Nebula in the coming days, if the weather improves. Buy with confidence.

Have a few products from Svbony great quality products at affordable prices so I new this scope would have decent quality and wasn't disappointed when it arrived.
Phone holder is decent once you get use to it and properly aligning it with your phone.
Only downside lens felt smaller looking thru it or maybe that's just me after using my other scopes for so long all in all great little scope that won't disappoint !!!
Would love to have used it on the planets but weather hasn't been great lately I'm sure I won't be disappointed once weather clears!!!
Awesomeness for moon not so for planets!!!
