I have purchased several of these for my astronomy club’s telescopes. The construction is well done for the price point and views are pleasant, making deep space targets easy to find. I have used this on 10” dons down to 6” dobs and find the correct image and viewing position comfortable. Pretty decent price in my opinion.

The spotting scope is high quality and improves the use of my CELESTRON telescope. Arrived in 2 days in my mailbox. Well worth the price.

Good value for the money. Works well with my 114mm telescope and my beginner status in astronomy.

The finderscope on a telescope i bought at Goodwill, was broken, and anyway was very poor quality. This finderscope is way better than the original finderscope ever was.

After waiting a couple weeks for this to arrive, I opened the box and immediately saw the spring loaded screw pop out of the scope. I figured out how to put it back in, but also noticed that there was a rattling noise inside the scope itself. I looked through the front of the scope and immediately saw a fingerprint on the lens. It was obvious that this was a return! The lens rattled around every time you moved it so you could never lineup on the object that you were pointing at. Such a disappointment after waiting so long! I am definitely returning this.

Save your neck! This right-angle finder scope eliminates the need to crane your neck to align your telescope.

I've always used manufacturers provided finder, (usually a red dot lately). My latest used telescope came without a finder. Instead of getting the cheapest, I sprang for this middle of the pack 6X30 finder with diaganol. Wow, night and day, so easy to use, and the alignment is a breeze. I would definitely recommend !

I own two of these. The price, when on sale is quite reasonable for the quality. The scope is multi-coated and quite bright and has easy to see cross-hairs. Crosshairs can be rotated to match your preference. Focusing is done by rotating the objective and then locking in place with the red lock-ring (if using for astro, this only needs to be done once...)The issue with this finder is its mount and alignment system. (Mount itself is sturdy cast aluminum). The finderscope is held in the front of the mount via friction of a rubber ring. This ring seats reasonably well but is not rock solid. In the rear there are two adjustment screws and one "adjustment spring" The spring is "self-adjusting" (yes - not user adjustable). The spring just does not provide sufficient grip/push to hold the finder in alignment. The screws need constant readjustment to maintain alignment. This is such an obvious design flaw, yet I see this design being in used in many inexpensive finders. It does not hold alignment! C'mon SVBONY - the fix is so easy. Just do what I did - screw out the spring thingy and replace it with an actual screw. I had to find a bolt to fit the hole size and I tapped out new threading for that bolt. With three screws it holds alignment pretty well (although the rubber band at the front I am still dubious of. The second SVBONY guide scop0e I have is mounted in the traditional two rings and six adjusting screws manner - it works great that way,Overall - Nice finder and optics, but dubious mount.

Decent finder. Shipped promptly. Tube turns very easy in bracket holder, but works ok.

Standard dovetail mount, works like a charm on my ETX-125PE with a simple worm gear hose clamp all the way around it. A GREAT addition, and it's significantly lighter than an 8x50 unit.

Does not come with dovetail holder, but fits most standard dovetail holders. Extension arm is good length (approx 4” or 10cm) to provide clearance for your head to have room to use right or left eye for viewing without contacting your scope body. Easy to realign if required after bumping by accident. Cross hairs are properly perpendicular. Using red ring, it can be refocused to your preference and locked. Got mine when on sale plus applying an additional discount coupon. Good deal for quality of unit. Diagonal mirror is very clear and the unit is very lightweight and made mostly of metal with some plastic. Looks like good quality and goes with other Astro gear very well. Viewport diameter is under 1” and topside aperture is just over 1.25”. Can see clearly through viewport but no rubber ring for glasses. Comes with two lens caps. A good product so far.
