I got sent the Svbony sv46 spotting scope a few months ago to review and I've used it quite a lot since. It is a lower priced scope so it's not going to fully match up to the quality of the high end expensive scopes but for the money it gives great results and with it's light weight and durability it's a great piece of kit to carry in your bag if you're into spotting birds and animals in the wild. It's also a fun scope to use if you live in an apartment block or something where you want to glance across the city and see what's out there. Overall it's a decent scope for the money that's ideal for someone getting into bird spotting.
Pro's:
Good value, lightweight, fairly sharp, relatively bright, durable and easy to use.
Cons:
Noticeable purple fringing on bright contrasty images, accessories aren't great, slight distortion around the outer edge of the image at 20x and at 60x it's very dark and contrast is low.

great video. Thanks.

Hi, I bought one of these in January. It is an exceptional Scope for the money. As you mentioned, it won't compete with a £2k Swarovski but the build and lens quality is fantastic for the £175 I paid. I've been birding for about 5 years and wouldn't be without this. Other more experienced birders were impressed with it too (just like your mate).

@HuFilms 4 года назад

Thanks, yeah, at the end of the day, you'll see what you need with it. It's a great starting point and I have mine in the car all the time without worrying about losing it as it's not that costly whereas with a Swarovski, I'd be worried about it.

@HuFilms 4 года назад

Great scope for spotting stuff from your window whilst you quarantine yourself!! I hope everyone is doing OK?

Hello - I have the SV17 25x-75x 70mm scope. What is the advantage of the SV46 over the SV17? I hope to receive and answer. Thanks

@shmuelbaranetc5282 2 года назад

What kind of tripod would you recommend for Athlon Argos 20-60 85mm??

@chrisb3989 2 года назад

Are the S bony eyepieces removable? Are they a 1.25 inch standard?

@dianaszabo3875 Год назад

Hi, Could you please recommend any aspheric telescope eyepiece, that is compatible with SV46P? Thanks :)

@rudolphferdinand3634 3 года назад

Yes, it is a beginner's spotter. With aging comes seeing less, so save the money and buy better optics because you might have to sell what you have. Tract Optics with Schott HT/UHD glass @ $1394.00 US cost.

@TexasTrained 3 года назад

I agree..Ive got the Tract Toric Scope 4.5-30x56 and the Tract spotting Scope with MRAD reticle to call shots..They are my favorite optics. Buy once Cry once.

Most places offer two tripod options: this is the SV101 (40-138cm) - plastic triangle. Definitely spend the extra £10 for the SV107 (45-145cm) - metal triangle, or buy scope and tripod separately! The eyepiece mount looks like the one on the SvBony SV406P (ED), which takes standard 1.25" astronomy eyepieces. These have wider field and higher quality, if you're prepared to swap fixed magnifications, instead of zooming. Does anyone know if this is the same? Loosen the bottom milled ring. Hint: don't unscrew the eyepiece: it fits through a rubber o-ring, so if you have to turn it, do so **clockwise**, so bits of the eyepiece don't unscrew.

@ericd7709 3 года назад

To clarify: I expect the milled ring unscrews anti-clockwise, as you would expect, to un-compress the o-ring. You might be able to pull the eyepiece straight out, but turning it clockwise will help.

@ericd7709 3 года назад

I've asked Svbony on Amazon - product 'B07V3KXT6V'. The other approach for digiscoping is the male 42x0.75mm (T-mount threads not camera M42) - SV14. SV13 also has 42x0.75mm but female, inside a ring with 48x0.75mm externally - the 2" astro scope eyepiece filter thread. That could get interesting - I'll report back if it works

@ericd7709 3 года назад

SvBony say "SV46 no accept standard 1.25″ astronomy eyepieces, but SV406P is possible. We recommend using UF18MM eyepieces."

@sarawaklens2964 3 года назад

Thanks for the review. I've recently gotten more into shorebird watching and find that my binoculars and olympus kit just aren't good enough to spot the far away birds. Am considering this exact model just for that purpose. Would it be able to spot birds that are about 200m away clearly? My Olympus 300mm Pro (600mm equivalent) with digital maginifcation is pretty good for up to around 80 - 100m, but any further and it isn't easy to the ID the birds anymore.

@HuFilms 3 года назад

Yeah, it's perfect for that. It's best around the 30-40 x range. Bins are fine for when you're on the move and want a glance but when you're facing a wide open stretch of estuary or marsh, then a scope like this is ideal. I've spotted all sorts of stuff since getting this.

@sarawaklens2964 3 года назад

I went ahead and bought the sv406p. Pretty good for the price. The big difference between the sv406p and rhe sv46 is that the former uses extra low dispersion glass for the objective lens and chromatic aberration is minimal.

@bodstrup 3 года назад

How did the camera jump across the wall before you ? 🤣 Just bought one - branded Focus by a Swedish distributor - Love it compared to the cheaper x60 scopes without ED glass. Was much brighter than a cheaper 25-75x100 scope despite the smaller diameter front lens.

@HuFilms 3 года назад

Ha ha, what clip is that? Yeah, its bright enough up to 40.

@bodstrup 3 года назад

@@HuFilms At 9 seconds the camera filming you climbing the gate jumps to the far side of the gate. And it appears that there are no wires at the end of the wooden fence piece right of the gate - allowing you to walk around the gate/short fence - not having to climb it :-) - but that last part could be the lack of resolution of the video.

@MelroyvandenBerg 3 года назад

Hi Hugh. Should I go for this one or the Acuter Spotting Scope ST 20-60x80A?

@HuFilms 3 года назад

If it's a newer design then possibly. But until I see both side by side, I can't honestly advise. It does like like a decent scope for the money.

@mannyg9744 3 года назад

G'Day Can you please tell me if you were too look at a 450mmx450mm white target at 1000 meters could you see it clearly?

@HuFilms 3 года назад

Honestly, I can't answer that as I haven't tried but I would say it would. Best bet would be to read up on it.

@leviboonstra1737 2 года назад

Hello wher dit you get yout Tripod from ?

@MoLetalis 2 года назад

They claim it to be ED glass on Amazon, but that is a lot of purple fringing... is it really ED?

@InGodWe-Trust 3 года назад

How far can you see birds in details? 300 yards?

@HuFilms 3 года назад

Yes!

@rahickey 4 года назад

Hugh, what tripod are you using with the SV46?

@HuFilms 4 года назад

Hey, it's a carbon Manfrotto. Not sure which one. The head is the basic model Manfrotto, very popular affordable head.

@stewarthunter8470 4 года назад

Hi, I use a Manfrotto too and the head is a Kingjoy KH-6750 purchased from Ebay for £23. My mate has a swarovski scope and has just purchased the same head for his tripod after using mine. You don't have to pay top prices for all your stuff
