SVBONY SC001 WiFi Spotting Scope Camera, Connect with SV406P SA405, 1080P Wireless Camera Used for Birding Capture Photos and Video, for Target Shooting Digiscoping

I have a MEADE DS10 (F4.5 FL:1143mm), need something I can precisely polar alignment. I got SVBONY SV165 (FL:120mm) with this camera. I could not find sensor size from spec. rough measure is about 4mmx6mm (don't quote on me). with FL 120mm, sharpCap gives about FOV 2.41'x1.36', which is easy to get enough stars for polar alignment. by the way, using .5x reducer to increase FOV does not work due to image low quality. I also tried SV205, even though it has 8M, but picture quality is far behind SC001, especially color compensation. ( Yes SV205 has more control allowed, but SC001 seems do it automatically quite well, in both day light condition on my spotting scope and on my night telescope. Another shining point is the WiFi feature, which makes the telescope very stable, I don't need bring the cellphone adapter for either my telescope or spotting scope. easy to capture and share the pictures. it does have some limitation: I cannot get ASCOM working even after downloaded ASCOMPlatform and SVBONY Camera drivers. so I cannot use PHD2 and NINA at this time. maybe it is only supported in SV305, that will be a big plus if it supports ASCOM. but you get what you paid for. Another chance of improvement: the front build-in filter (UV/IR) has female C-Mount instead of standard 1.25 thread, if you want to add other standard 1.25 filter, you have to use the adapter to convert C-Mount to 1.25, which is extra 1" long, this caused some struggle for FL. I plan to buy a standard UV/IR filter to solve this, if it can come with standard UV/IR filter (1.25) with a short 1.25 to C-Mount adapter, that will all cases easier. I'm picky on purchase. even it has some limitation, but really enable many my other scopes to use this. this is one of the few 5 I'd give.

Wi-Fi isn't working properly on my phone (Xiaomi 14T Pro), even though it works fine on my tablet (Lenovo P12). I'm not sure why, but it disconnects every time. The camera crops the edges of the image, so it appears zoomed in compared to what is seen through the eyepiece; the quality of image is good but not excellent, so it seems better take photos directly with cell phone camera 🤷🏽‍♂️... As I can see, it seems expensive 🫰 for what it offers.

I gave this 5 stars earlier but I changed to 1 star. It worked great at the start, but no matter what I tried, it lost wifi connection, and threw in trash! I tried connecting to multiple phoes and tablets, but to No Avail! I do not recommend this.

This SVBONY SC001 WiFi Spotting Scope Camera made by Huawei Hisilicon, I would NOT recommend. Lacks everything you'd want in a camera besides just taking a simple low quality picture or video. The device hardware materials feel like a premium product, but seriously lacking in software is a huge drawback. You got 2 options, 1st to use it as an USB camera, or 2nd use the Camera using WiFi and an Android/iOS app. The app is very minimal, and only gives you these options: 1. Photo mode (photo mode) 2. Video mode (video recording) 3. Manual mode (timed between shots, interval continuous shooting) 4. And only things you can adjust in the app is Brightness. Lacks every basic camera options besides what's mentioned above: - No Digital Zoom - No Physical record button - No Exposure adjustments - No Shutter Speed options - No White-balance or ISO adjustments - NO FIRMWARE UPDATE options, so no UPDATES in future.

I bought the complete Svbony SA412 20-60×80 HD spotting scope separately on eBay for $170, then added this to the setup for $90, so I had both the conventional eyepiece and this Wi-Fi relay. The same Wi-Fi / spotting scope setup, minus the conventional eyepiece, was also available for $300. I wanted both for cheaper! I linked it to my Samsung android phone and then to my Samsung Galaxy 10.1" android tablet for an outstanding picture! Clamped motorcycle handlebar cellphone clamp to tripod leg to hold and view cellphone picture.

It's not even close to what you are going to see through the eyepiece but you will get the idea. I can display Saturn on the TV so my 83 year old father can see it but if you want to see qhat Saturn looks like, skip the camera. Stars for ease of use and simplicity.

I just recently got into stargazing with a Celestron NexStar 130SLT and wanted to have a better astrophotography experience than trying to align my phone's camera with one of those cell phone mounts. I liked this model because I didn't want to have to haul a laptop around with my telescope. It seems to work well in my telescope but there are some caveats: - The iPhone app's live preview doesn't work on my iPhone 13 Pro. I'm assuming they can probably update the app to get it working. You can still take photos and videos but it's hard to get the focus right. The Android version of the app works fine and has a live preview. - The camera has auto exposure. Some of the lunar shots I wanted to take were blown out because I couldn't control the exposure manually. Hopefully they add more granular camera controls to the app in the future. Would love to have the ability to tap on a portion of the image and it set all the settings automatically. Photos: 1920x1080 Videos: 1920x1080 30fps H264 Attached are lunar samples and a photo of Regulus. Notes: - It comes with a 32GB SD card pre-installed. - App has a time lapse function for taking sets of 50/100/200 photos on certain intervals. - Will focus without a barlow lens or eyepiece extender on my 130SLT.

Video quality isn’t very good. I still like this device giving the ability to watch from a phone via WiFi as opposed to the others via usb.

je l 'adore

Records but it disconnects often from my phone and I can't figure out if you can zoom in and out or not. Definitely too zoomed in for me when I use my spotting scope to see the moon.

The camera is ok, but the accompanying app is bad which makes the camera a bit unuseful. The contrast is not too good and the app can only control the brightness The provided card I garbage and does not store pictures or videos, I replaced it with a Kingston and it is usable now. Update: The company has since refunded the cost proving that thry care about the product and promised to improve it based on feedback. A very positive sign.

Will not fir the spotting scope I have (Outbound) and can't find an adapter to fit. Does work well and a astronomical scope. No zoom capability while viewing. You need to take a picture then zoom in with your photo editor.

I have an SV41. I just got all the parts to test this out. The system keeps dropping wiFi. As well the Focal length of the unit cannot allow fine focus on the scope. It doesn't meet advertised expectations.
