SVBONY SV28 Spotting Scope, Angled 25-75x70 with Tripod for Target Shooting

I am not an expert on scopes or picture taking but I found this scope absolutely awesome. I was waiting for the weekend to try it on daylight conditions and even with a clouded day the image clarity and sharpness was excellent. I bought it to be used primarily for target practice at 100 to 200 yards. I am convinced it will let me see perfectly the shots point of impact without having to wait or walk to the target. Perhaps the technical specification where it lacks, compared to other more expensive scopes is the eye relief. If I keep my eyeglasses on, while looking through the scope, the field of vision is a very small circle, I can still see the object but with a much narrow circle. If I remove my eyeglasses and get my eye closer to the eye piece, the circle or area of vision is much bigger and I can still see perfectly with easy adjustment of the lens despite my fairly poor eyesight. So I may need to remove my eyeglasses after taking a shot to see better where it hit on the target while at the range, just a small inconvenience for my intended use which doesn't justify in my opinion spending more for another scope. I focused on the top of a power line post located at 115 yards from where I set up my tripod. I used another full height camera tripod. I also used the phone attachment that comes with the scope with my Samsung 8 with no problems at all. I will add some pictures taken with the phone on my hand and no zoom, with 8x zoom to show the posts and one taken with the scope. The quality of that photo could have been better if I were not using a Lifeproof case on my phone, which requires a strong tap to activate the camera which obviously causes the phone to shake and that affects the focus. Nonetheless you can see stamped markings on the wood which I was able to read while looking directly with my eye through the scope. I found another pole which is hardly noticeable in the non zoomed picture (lower because is much farther) towards the center and I was able to see all the details on the top of it. That other post is at least 250 from where I was but I did not take pictures though the scope. The table top tripod that comes with the scope is strong enough for my intended occasional use at the range. The main shortcoming in my opinion is that the eyepiece cannot be set to the side unless you use a tripod that tilts up 90 degree. A small inconvenience which doesn't justify paying a whole lot more.

Decent spotting scope for the money. I wasn't looking to spend a lot for a spotting scope and this unit easily fit my budget. Clarity at 200 yards is decent, good enough to see .223 and 6.5mm rounds on target. Really glad I bought this!

This spotting scope is genuinely probably the best deal you'll come across online for a spotting scope, it's crystal clear at 100 yards and allows me to see hits on paper even at the lowest magnification setting, the tripod feels a little flimsy but not bad, the screw holds the scope firmly and doesn't let it move around at all, the only problem I've had with this scope is the lens covers tend to just fall off with basically no effort and the phone mount is pretty terrible, it could just be my phone camera but I can never get it to fill the screen and be clear, it's always blurry and never fills in properly on the screen, not to mention it mounts on the zoom dial so if the phone is any bit heavy it rotates the zoom knob from weight alone and messes with image quality even more. The instruction manual for both are very lackluster as well, pretty sure you'd get better help from a grandmother with both dementia and down syndrome. But that being said if you completely forget trying to use the phone mount this works amazing using your eyes and the price can not be beat for the quality you get.

This SBVONY Spotting Scope has performed far beyond my expectations and the BAK-4 prism glass provides an exceptional image despite its modest price point! One can argue that manufacturers such as Steiner or Zeiss set the standard for optics. While that may be true, the quality of this scope will more than satisfy one’s need to sight-in a rifle scope or glass the nighttime sky for stargazing or counting craters on our moon! I would purchase this unit again should the need arise or as a gift for family or friends with a similar need. Buy one and get ready to be amazed!

Nice clear glass and good magnification range at a very reasonable price. Why pay more?

I got this for shore bird watching. There's some difficulty adjusting from binoculars. I still struggled with the phone mount at numerous attempts and at maxed out magnification the view gets pretty fuzzy. I ended up returning but the majority of my objections are not with the scope itself, primarily user error. Seems to be built well.

As advertised

My bird watching friends recommended spotting scopes that were way out of my price range! Scopes with prices up to $2,500! I decided as a hobbyist birder I would first try an entry level scope. After reading reviews, I decided on the Gosky 20-60X80. Oh my, was I shocked when I received the scope. It is very solid and of a really nice quality, better than I had expected. It is easy to use, has a sharp focus knob and magnification knob. The included bag is a bit tight and hard to get the scope in and out of but the included tabletop tripod is perfectly adequate. I have mounted the scope to a full size tripod I used for DSLR photography so I have more adjustments and can use it on the ground. You can see the photos I took with the included mobile phone adapter (20X scope magnification and 2X iPhone lens). Check out the video of the Downey Woodpeckers. (20X scope magnification 1X iPhone) They were all taken during cloudy weather, so the light was really not great. I guess the only small drawback to this scope is it is good but not great in low light, especially on higher magnification. I find that by putting the phone on the scope makes it much more comfortable than keeping your eye on the eyepiece, especially when waiting for a bird to land on the feeder. I do like the adjustable eyepiece relief. Is it a $2500 scope, no, but for $125 it is a good, solid scope that gives a clear magnified view so I can identify and photograph birds. I bought it as a starter scope, but as a hobbyist I am not sure why I would spend another $1000+ to upgrade to something that is perhaps marginally better, unless perhaps I was a professional.

Lo he comprado para la práctica de tiro olímpico, y la verdad q es excelente, la visión del objetivo es perfecta, su ajuste es muy bueno y sencillo, pesa poco y se pueden transportar fácilmente; no obstante, también se puede utilizar para otro tipo de actividades, por que cumplen perfectamente con los estándares. Es muy versátil en cualquier campo para lo que se le necesite.

I love it (for the price). Nice clarity, even watching the moon up to 75x.

Para astrônomo iniciante, não recomendo! Como ele mesmo fala, é para terrestre.

amazing for the price. sure there may be fancy options out there but for under 100 you just cant beat this. clear lenses easy to use. would recomend

I guess iam one of the few that bought this in india, it's almost double the price if you compare it with US market. Nonetheless, it's still the best if you could get this under 10k price range(price fluctuates alot). I saw saturn, Orion nebula (with 3-4 seconds exposure), Jupiter and its moons, so you can imagine how good this thing is. Mind you I used a simple realme phone to capture those pictures, all those celestial objects were much more clear looking directly through the eyepiece.
